No she didn't, her
charging complaint on its face was about cocaine only and the "not small amount marijuana" refers to the
statute cited explicitly excluding cannabis, so the bust you're referring to would have nothing to do with this.
What
would be interesting to see is if a full legal name for the
dealer he followed on Instagram could be found to check if he ran into some oddly timed legal troubles recently, or for that matter a deep dive into recent major coke busts in Hennepin County (where Aaron said Nick's dealer was) for any probable cause statements referring to a confidential informant in any way fitting Nick's description. It'd probably be a needle in a haystack though.
I stand corrected on the Mary J. I will say, however, getting to the bottom of who his dealer is/was may be worth more research. (It may also be a waste of time.) You seem to be highly proficient in such tasks.
To divert myself from the irritation of Nick's plea deal yesterday, I spent an hour reading about various drug busts and drug rings in and around Willmar, St. Cloud, and Minneapolis that correlate to Nick's use. I couldn't prove a thing even for speculation purposes.
Some thoughts:
1. The Farms has a picture of the Black guy he friended on IG who is widely believed to be his dealer. Nick also showed him on a stream because the partying at some gaming place in Minneapolis was oh-so-fun that
he showed his audience the IG reel! It's all just speculation, however. We don't know if he was the dealer.
2. While I take Aaron at his word for about 80% of his stories, the origin of the cocaine is
far too vague. Aaron knows more details. He must. You don't do cocaine with someone for
3 months without asking for details.
3. The rabbit hole of cocaine busts in
St. Cloud is rather extensive for a town of 71K (albeit a bedroom community of Minneapolis). This could explain Aaron's vague-speak. He could very well know the source of the cocaine if it was in his backyard. The problem: the closer you get to Minneapolis, the wider and frequency of drug busts.
(I'll add this for some fun racial profiling. Nick's barber is Latino, the one who gives him those horrible side-shaves. He's joked about him on streams. Most of the drug busts I read about seem to trace to Latino communities.)
