A 22-year-old Champlin man was charged Wednesday with possessing nearly 77,000 vape cartridges loaded with highly concentrated THC that were confiscated from a Coon Rapids home in what authorities are calling the largest seizure of its kind in state history.
Valentin V. Andonii was charged in Anoka County District Court with two first-degree drug counts, one for trafficking and another for possession.
Bail was set at $1 million for Andonii with conditions that he remain in Minnesota and surrender his passport. In setting bail, Judge Kristin Larson said Andonii’s alleged activities present “extremely serious public safety consequences.”
