The brother of Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan pleaded guilty Tuesday to methamphetamine and marijuana charges.
Paul J. Dolan, 53, a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier, was charged in Ramsey County District Court with possessing methamphetamine and trafficking in marijuana, both fifth-degree felonies, after an undercover camera recorded him using drugs while on his St. Paul route.
The marijuana charge stemmed from a search of his Minneapolis home that uncovered a marijuana growing operation in his basement.
Ramsey County prosecuted both cases due to Tim Dolan's role as police chief.
Paul Gustafson, a county attorney's office spokesman, said that prosecutors struck no deal on jail or prison time. Dolan is to be sentenced Feb. 1.
