FOND DU LAC, WI –Three traffic stops lead to drug seizures and arrests in Fond du Lac County. The stops were made June 28th, 29th and 30th on Interstate 41. They led to the discovery of cocaine, counterfeit pills and marijuana. Over 1,000 counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl were found during one of the stops. Two Appleton men and a Milwaukee man were arrested during those stops. Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt tells Action 2 News the traffic stops were a stroke of good luck for law enforcement and communities around the state.
“The 1000-plus fentanyl pills, I think, would have done significant damage if it would have gotten into the wrong people’s hands and if they’d have taken the pills – especially since they were marked as oxycodone,” Sheriff Waldschmidt said. “People would be taking fentanyl and not knowing it. And if their body is not used to it, an overdose would be very easy.”
