17 July 2023 News
Last Thursday the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office coordinated a multi-jurisdiction drug interdiction task force that included police officers from Fond du Lac, Waupun, Rosendale, and Ripon. Also participating were ten investigators from the Lake Winnebago Area MEG Unit and six K9 teams from local agencies. The goal was to saturate high-drug trafficking neighborhoods and corridors throughout the county and identify and arrest those involved in illegal drug trafficking, possession, or other crimes. Between 2 and 10 pm the task force conducted 95 traffic stops. Those stops resulted in five felony and one misdemeanor criminal arrests, one warrant arrest, 25 traffic citations; two drugged driving arrests, 41 traffic warnings, and one ordinance citation. Illegal drugs and other items seized included fentanyl, methamphetamine, marijuana, illegally possessed prescription medication, drug paraphernalia, two illegally possessed firearms, and cash. There was also a 37-mile traffic pursuit leading to the arrest of two men, one from Milwaukee and another from Green Bay. (Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s photos).
