n Humberto Acevedo Jr., 26, of Willmar, pleaded guilty Tuesday to an amended charge of fifth-degree controlled substance crime.
As part of a plea agreement, the charge was reduced from a third-degree drug possession charge for possessing three or more grams of cocaine, methamphetamine or heroin and a gross misdemeanor for introducing contraband into the county jail was dismissed.
The charges were filed after a Willmar officer stopped a vehicle for making an illegal turn around 2:30 a.m. April 21. Acevedo was a passenger in the vehicle and was arrested on an outstanding warrant from Swift County. He was taken to the jail and during a routine search, jail officials found 5.1 grams of methamphetamine on his person.
He will be sentenced July 7.
