Early Morning Drug Raid in St. Cloud Nets Cocaine, Cash

ST. CLOUD -- A St. Cloud man is jailed on drug charges after an early morning raid by police.

The Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force and St. Cloud Police SWAT team served a search warrant at 345 19th Avenue North before dawn. Officers found the suspect, 30-year-old Antoine Dodd, inside.

Police recovered a small amount of marijuana, but believed Dodd had hidden additional drugs in his body. He was taken to the Stearns County Jail where a body cavity search turned up more than 36 grams of cocaine. Police also confiscated $1,500 cash.

Several family members who were present at the home won't be charged.

Dodd faces charges of 2nd degree drug possession.
