POLICE CHIEF'S BROTHER PLEADS GUILTY TO METH, MARIJUANA CHARGES

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.
