May Building & Housing Update

The Moorhead Police Department will host a press conference on Thursday, May 28, at 10:30 am at the Moorhead Law Enforcement Center to provide an update on the investigation involving the parents of the Horizon Middle School student who brought THC to school last week.

During the investigation, MPD detectives recovered significant amounts of suspected THC products that exceeded Minnesota’s legal possession limits, psychedelic mushrooms, and more than $70,000 in cash. This evidence relates to the arrest of Moorhead residents Martin Hulst (40) and Amanda Hulst (43), the parents of the juvenile involved. Both individuals were charged with Felony 1st Degree Controlled Substance and remain innocent unless proven guilty. Multiple juveniles in the residence were also referred to Clay County Social Services.

There are no new developments in the case at this time. However, the MPD will be sharing photos of the items recovered during the search warrant. These images are intended to help the community understand why the situation raised serious concerns and to support parents in recognizing what these items may look like.

This investigation remains active, and remarks during the press conference will be limited to what can be responsibly shared.

The Moorhead Police Department thanks the Clay County Sheriff’s Office for their ongoing assistance and the Moorhead community for its engagement and support.
