FDL Heroin Distribution Ringleader Pleads Guilty
10 October 2018 News
The ringleader of a $1 million heroin distribution conspiracy in Fond du Lac pleaded guilty to heroin trafficking charges in Fond du Lac County court this week. District Attorney Eric Toney says 38-year-old Allen Ferguson entered the guilty pleas after a half-a-day of testimony in a court trial Tuesday. Officer testimony and the playing of an interview of Ferguson confessing to investigators probably convinced Ferguson to enter pleas. Toney says, “It may have been that his own interview with law enforcement was persuasive to himself of his guilt on some of those crimes.” The Fond du Lac man’s $5 million cash bond was revoked and a presentence investigation was ordered. It’s estimated 7,000 grams or over 15 pounds of heroin with a street value exceeding $1 million was distributed in the Fond du Lac area between March of 2015 and February of 2017. All 11 people involved in the conspiracy have been convicted and most of them have been sentenced.
