February 13, 2024 – Fond du Lac Co., Wi – Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s deputies arrested four people, including two felons during a traffic stop this month. Through the great work of FDL Co. night shift deputies, four suspects, two with significant criminal histories and serious pending criminal charges, as well as a stolen firearm and illegal drugs were taken off our streets that night.
At 4:06am on 02-06-2024, a third shift deputy stopped a vehicle on I41 near Lincoln Road for a lighting violation. The deputy observed packaging for a THC based product, which is illegal to possess in Wisconsin. Two of the four occupants of the vehicle were convicted felons and had significant criminal histories including drug and violent offenses, both were out on bail, and one was on probation.
A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs and a concealed stolen firearm. 29 grams of cocaine were located in a sock hidden under the cover of the fuse box (sock is the white object at the bottom of attached photo) under the hood and a stolen handgun was located hidden between the fuse box and air filter box. A check of the serial number showed the firearm was reported stolen out of Oshkosh in 2022.
