Several people were identified as suspects and charges are being referred to the Fond du Lac County District Attorney’s Office. Police Chief Bill Wallner says, “The officers of the City of Ripon Police Department aggressively investigate drug distribution cases. We will pursue any individual that we can show is involved in the sale, distribution, or possession of these dangerous substances in our community.” The search warrants were based on the investigation of Ripon Police Officers and an investigator from the Lake Winnebago Metropolitan Enforcement Group drug unit.
