FOND DU LAC, Wis. (WFRV) – A multi-jurisdictional investigation in and around Fond du Lac County resulted in a $1 million methamphetamine ring, with ties to both Wisconsin and Michigan.

The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office and Fond du Lac Police Department held a joint press conference with District Attorney Eric Toney on Thursday morning to provide some details.

Authorities say that multi-state conspiracy charges have been filed against ten individuals, seven of which are being held on a cash bond, and three of whom are on ‘warrant status’ and remain at large.

The allegations against the individuals involve the delivery and distribution of over 100 pounds of methamphetamine, which is estimated at a street value of $1 million.

During the course of the investigation that began in early 2022, approximately 3.25 pounds of methamphetamine was seized as well as 280 grams of fentanyl.

“The fentanyl that was seized was enough to kill every resident in Fond du Lac County, as well as a thousand more,” said District Attorney Toney. “The work is not done, there is no victory lap to be had today as we will continue to aggressively investigate and build these conspiracy cases.”
