KAUKAUNA - The Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group - Drug Unit said it arrested a person as part of an investigation that led to a heavy police response Tuesday afternoon and night at a Frances Street duplex.

Law enforcement from numerous agencies — including a SWAT team, the MEG unit, the Kaukauna Police Department, the Outagamie County Sheriff's Office and the Appleton Police Department — were outside the residence in the 600 block of Frances Street. The location is just south of County CE near the intersection with Fieldcrest Drive.

The Outagamie County Sheriff's Office was called at 12:24 p.m. Tuesday to assist the Kaukauna Police Department at the Frances Street address, according to the sheriff's office incident summary report. The suspect was booked into the Outagamie County jail on a probation violation at 10:43 p.m., according to the county's jail media report.

According to the MEG unit, as police arrived at a Frances Street home to conduct a search, the suspect was believed to have fled the home and was later located and arrested at a neighboring home. No other details about the incident, including what occurred during the hours-long police presence, were released.

The MEG unit is a multijurisdictional drug task force comprised of investigators from 15 law enforcement agencies in Outagamie, Winnebago, Calumet and Fond du Lac counties. It's led by an agent from the Wisconsin Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation.
