Moorhead Woman Arrested In Drug Sting

MOORHEAD, MN—One woman is facing two felony and two misdemeanor charges after an undercover drug sting operation in Moorhead.  It started back in August when Moorhead Police received information about someone distributing M30 fentanyl pills in the city. Officers then found an undercover drug informant and arranged a sale with the alleged drug dealer the next day. According to court papers, on August 16, the undercover officer got $400 dollars and met with 26-year-old Mystic Olmstead of Moorhead to buy the pills. The two originally met in a parking lot in a south Moorhead business, then drove to another location where the M30 pills were secured. Authorities later tested the pills and they were positive for fentanyl.

Three other situations like that one happened between August 20th and 29th where the officer had cash and met with Olmstead at one location, drove to another, and then secured the fentanyl pills.  In total, the undercover officer spent $3,000 and obtained a total of 187 M30 pills that all tested positive for fentanyl, according to official papers.  

During the drug deals, officers also noticed children in the vehicle with Olmstead, resulting in two misdemeanor charges of child endangerment. Olmstead is also charged with two felony drug sale counts. Records show Olmstead is being held in the Clay County jail on a $300,000 bond.  

Court documents also say another man, 23-year-old Zachary Roberson, was involved in the sale of the drugs. Roberson was eventually arrested along with his girlfriend, 23-year-old Amy Mendez. .
