Four people have been arrested following a meth bust in Ripon. Agents with the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Division of Criminal Investigation, the Lake Winnebago Area MEG drug unit, the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Department, and the Ripon Police Department executed three drug related search warrants in Ripon Thursday afternoon. Police chief Dave Lukoski says two women are being held in the Fond du Lac County Jail and two 17 year olds, one male and one female were treated at Ripon Medical Center for exposure to methamphetamine and released pending further investigation. “Manufacturing drugs, such as methamphetamine, carries severe consequences, as these four individuals are learning,” Ripon Chief of Police Dave Lukoski said. “The investigative efforts of the Ripon Police Department, as well as our partners at the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Lake Winnebago MEG unit, and the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Department, are disrupting the supply of dangerous drugs that kill hundreds of Wisconsinites every year.” Two search warrants were executed in the 44 Parkway Terrace area and one search warrant was executed at 204 ½ Eureka Street. Methamphetamine manufacturing evidence was located at 204 ½ Eureka Street, removed from the home and disposed of by a Crime Scene Cleanup crew from Chicago, Illinois shortly before 11:00 p.m. yesterday. “The collaboration between DCI and regional and local law enforcement is necessary to put together successful cases against and hold accountable those who manufacture and distribute deadly drugs that kill,” said Attorney General Brad Schimel. “The Wisconsin Department of Justice is fortunate to have law enforcement partners across the state focusing on stopping the supply of harmful substances like meth.”
