Interstate Highway 41 is proving to be a notable corridor for dangerous drugs as yet another trafficker was taken into custody Tuesday night.
The latest incident began after a driver fled a Winnebago County traffic stop for a traffic violation and entered Fond du Lac County. A Sheriff’s Deputy took up the pursuit near Townline Road at North Fond du Lac where the suspect tossed a bag filled with illegal drugs from the vehicle. That bag was recovered and the chase continued southbound. The driver lost control just over the Dodge County line and a foot chase ensued. Fond du Lac County K-9 Iro located the man in tall grass near the crash where he was evaluated for injuries and taken into custody.
The recovered bag contained some 2,500 fentanyl-laced Oxycodone pills weighing in over 10 ounces and 84 grams of cocaine. Sheriff Sergeant Andrew Kohlmann reports that the 28-year-old Racine man is now jailed on multiple charges related to the chase, drugs and weapons violations.
