Four people suspected of making and selling methamphetamine were arrested Wednesday morning at a trailer home in Oconto Falls.
According to a news release from the attorney general’s office, authorities executed a search warrant at 249 Birch Ave., Lot 15, and discovered and seized processed methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and a methamphetamine production laboratory, as well as items necessary for the production of methamphetamine.
Four people, two men, ages 24 and 28, and two women, ages 22 and 51, were at the trailer when the search warrant was executed about 8 a.m. and were taken into custody. They remain at the Oconto County Jail.
A spokesperson at the district attorney’s office on Monday said charges would be filed in Oconto County Circuit Court within a few days.
It is the Times Herald’s policy not to name suspects until they have been charged.
According to the attorney general’s office, the suspects will face charges related to the manufacture and possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, and child endangerment.
Oconto Falls Police Chief Mike Roberts said citizen information led to the drug investigation.
Working with the Oconto Falls Police Department to execute the search warrant were special agents with the Wisconsin Department of Justice - Division of Criminal Investigation, the Brown County Drug Task Force, Oconto County Sheriff’s Department and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The Oconto Falls Fire Department and Oconto Falls Area Ambulance Service also assisted at the scene.
