I applaud the collaborative work of the Sheriff’s Metro Drug Unit and our federal law enforcement partners in taking these dangerous drug dealers off the streets. Over the last few years, the State of Wisconsin has averaged over 1,400 overdose deaths annually, and there is no doubt that seizing this poison saved lives.
The next phase of this case involves the Sheriff’s Metro Drug agents working with our local and federal prosecutors to ensure these criminals get the prison sentences they richly deserve!
