Michael Riggers, 28, was arraigned in the Delta County 94th District Court on charges of possession of methamphetamine, carrying a concealed weapon, maintaining a drug house, possession of analogues and resisting and obstructing a police officer.

The charges stem from an incident that took place Sunday when a trooper from the MSP Gladstone Post observed Riggers, who had an active arrest warrant, riding a bicycle.

According to a news release, the trooper saw Riggers cross the intersection of LL Road and US-2 without stopping and initiated a traffic stop.

The release further alleges Riggers initially ignored commands to stop and rode to a nearby residence before complying. He was then taken into custody for the warrant.

During MSP’s investigation, troopers discovered Riggers was carrying a concealed pistol, methamphetamine and prescription pills not prescribed to him. He reportedly did not have a concealed pistol license.

A subsequent search of Rigger’s residence resulted in the seizure of another pistol, 14 long guns and additional methamphetamine, according to a news release. One of the rifles recovered from Rigger’s residence had been reported stolen in 2016.

Riggers is currently lodged at the Delta County Jail on a $25,000 cash/surety bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 9.

MSP was assisted by the Delta County Sheriff’s Office.
