United States Attorney Erica H. MacDonald today announced
the unsealing of a federal indictment charging ARLIN MAURICE THUNDER, 46, with
one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and one count
of possession of a firearm by a felon. THUNDER made his initial appearance
today before Magistrate Judge Jon T. Huseby in U.S. District Court in Bemidji,
Minnesota. THUNDER was ordered to remain in custody pending a formal detention
hearing, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, 2020.
According to the allegations in the indictment, on May 13,
2019, THUNDER was found to be in possession of methamphetamine and a firearm,
specifically a Star Bonifacio Echeverria Firestar M43 9 mm caliber pistol.
Because THUNDER has a prior felony conviction, he is prohibited under federal
law from possessing firearms at any time.
This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the
Red Lake Tribal Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Chelsea A. Walcker is prosecuting
the case.
