Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota
A person on probation/parole was visited by his probation officer and requested to give a UA. The person has a known history of drug involvement, but, the person could not produce a UA at the time. The PO searched the apartment and found a large sum of money (roughly around 10K). The person was arrested and taken to jail on suspicion of drug sales and eventually was able to produce a UA which has come back clean. Question is, can this person be held on grounds of suspicion of drug sales just because they have a large amount of money? What would their rights be if any?

It would be extremely difficult to support a probation violation on such limited evidence. The person must be brought before the court at the earliest opportunity to be heard on conditions of release.
