A 22 year old man from Pierre faces drug and other charges after an incident around 8 o’clock last night (Oct. 3, 2022) in an apartment building in the 1000 block of North Garfield Avenue.
Jack McClelland is charged with Possession of a Controlled Drug or Substance, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Resisting Arrest, and Obstructing an Officer.
Information from the Pierre Police Department says officers made contact with McClelland and another party who were engaged in a verbal argument at an apartment. McClelland’s behavior during the encounter caused officers concern, and they attempted to detain him. McClelland resisted this attempt by pulling away and struggling with the officers. During this time, McClelland tried to pass something from his person to another party present. Once officers gained control of McClelland, they removed him from the residence to a patrol car. Searching his person recovered a hypodermic needle with a liquid substance inside. The substance later tested positive for an illegal controlled substance. Additional drug paraphernalia was also located amongst McClelland’s possessions.
