Manitowoc Man Facing 8 Drug Charges Following Huge Bust

A 26-year-old Manitowoc man is facing a laundry list of charges after he lead police on a short foot chase. When a pair of officers with the Manitowoc Police Department received their briefing to start the shift, they were informed of the potential location of a pair of individuals who had warrants out for their arrest. When officers arrived at the locations in the1500 block of South 13^th Street, they were greeted by the father of the man in question. The father let the officers in to look for the suspect, but he was not at the residence. Shortly after a sweep of the home was finished, the suspect walked into the kitchen and took off once he saw the officers. The authorities were eventually able to catch the man at a different residence, where it was confirmed he resided. The subsequent search of the residence uncovered a slew of drugs and the man was taken to the Manitowoc County Jail. Among the eight charges is possession of THC, cocaine, meth, and fentanyl, all with intent to deliver. The second suspect with a warrant out for her arrest was also taken into police custody.
