A set of three recent traffic stops by Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Deputies resulted in the seizures of significant quantities of drugs, and likely saved lives as well.
Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt said the stops happened on June 28, 29 and 30, preventing significant quantities of marijuana, cocaine, and counterfeit pills from being distributed in the area just before the July 4th holiday weekend. Waldschmidt said that in the case of the pills – over 1,000 of them laced with the powerful drug fentanyl, numerous overdoses were likely prevented and lives saved.
A stop on I-41 on June 28 resulted in 59 grams of cocaine being seized; on June 29 another I-41 stop yielded those 1,032 counterfeit Oxycodone pills containing the fentanyl and 27 grams of marijuana; and on June 30, a vehicle containing 37 grams of marijuana was stopped on I-41, and its operator was later found to have 27 grams of cocaine hidden in his clothes. All stops began as motor vehicle rules and equipment violations.
