Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A Rochester man has been sentenced for a drug bust that occurred on Christmas Day last year.

The criminal complaint against 33-year-old Anthony Dominique Lindsey states that he was driving a car that was stopped by a Rochester police officer for an equipment and moving violation. The officer reported that, upon approaching the vehicle, he saw Lindsey smoking a marijuana blunt and observed a female passenger attempting to conceal a baggie in her hand.

The court document says both individuals were ordered out of the vehicle. Lindsey failed a field sobriety test, and a search of the car led to the discovery of nearly 84 grams of methamphetamine. The officer also reported finding about 2 grams of cocaine.
