DEVILS LAKE, N.D. — Two Devils Lake residents are facing felony charges following an October 15 incident in Kloten, North Dakota that involved drug possession and threats against witnesses.
Latasha Thompson and Kyle Baker are charged with multiple criminal counts, including a felony terrorizing charge for Thompson.
The Nelson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a disturbance call around 8:20 p.m. and saw Thompson and Baker walking away from a residence. Thompson told police she was attempting to check on her children.
Witnesses reported that Thompson threatened to burn their house down and harm them, with one saying, “She said she was going to hunt us down and kill us.” These statements were confirmed by multiple individuals at the scene.
Baker admitted to being intoxicated and initially gave officers a false name, claiming Thompson was driving. Thompson admitted to driving but said she did not have a valid license.
Officers later found their vehicle stuck on railroad tracks with fictitious plates. A canine search revealed meth, marijuana, black tar heroin, drug paraphernalia, and an open container of alcohol. Both suspects denied ownership of the narcotics.
Thompson’s charges include:
Felony terrorizing
Misdemeanor possession of meth, heroin, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia
Misdemeanor driving under suspension
Baker’s charges include:
Felony possession of drug paraphernalia
Felony possession with intent to deliver heroin
Misdemeanor possession of meth
Misdemeanor hindering law enforcement
Misdemeanor unlawful use of plates
