12/10/22 FDL County Drug Bust
10 December 2022 News
A Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s K-9 handler that made a traffic stop in Fond du Lac Friday evening likely pulled over someone involved in the drug trade. The stop was made based on moving and equipment violations at a Kwik Trip store after the suspect vehicle exited Interstate 41. The deputy smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and spotted raw marijuana in the car. A loaded handgun was found inside the driver’s side door jamb. The vehicle was searched and 29 bags of edible THC infused candy and a backpack containing $70,000 cash was located. The 23-year-old Langlade County man driving the vehicle was taken to the Fond du Lac County Jail on drug and firearm charges. In addition, he was out on a bail for trying to elude an officer in Portage County and was arrested on a felony bail jumping charge. The Lake Winnebago Area MEG Unit is continuing the investigation. Evidence exists that the large amount of cash in the vehicle is tied to drug-related activity.
