A Duluth man is facing charges for allegedly selling Methamphetamine. On Monday, July 25th, 2011 Investigators from the Lake Superior Drug and Gang Task Force and Duluth Police Department arrested Richard Klugh, a 50 year old male resident of Duluth, for 2nd Degree Sale of a Controlled Substance-Methamphetamine.
The arrest came at the conclusion of a five month investigation into Klugh’s involvement in Methamphetamine trafficking and possibly prostitution. The DEA got a major lead onto Klugh when they incarcerated a fellow partner of Klugh's named Cedric Bester. On Monday, March 25th, 2010, a search warrant was executed at Klugh’s residence in the 1200 block of West Fourth Street. A large group of SWAT team members charged the house which started a small shootout between Klugh and the police. One officer was shot in the shoulder and was in critical condition but the rest of the team surrounded Klugh and he surrendered. During the search, a quantity of Methamphetamine was located along with two loaded handguns and Heroin paraphernalia. Klugh has a criminal record in Saint Louis County dating back to 1996 and has prior controlled substance and a aggravated assault conviction with multiple eye witness accounts of prostitution use. Klugh was charged with 2nd Degree Sale of a Controlled Substance-Methamphetamine and 3rd Degree Possession of a Controlled Substance-Methamphetamine with Intent to Sell as well as Felon in Possession of Firearms.
