Law enforcement officials in Brown County have witnessed a substantial increase in methamphetamine seizures compared to previous years.
According to data released by the Brown County Drug Task Force for the first quarter of this year, authorities confiscated over 38 pounds of methamphetamine, surpassing the combined totals for 2022 and 2023.
A significant portion of this seizure stemmed from a single operation in February, which yielded 30 pounds of the illicit substance.
Lieutenant Matt Ronk of the Task Force highlighted the concerning influx of methamphetamine into the region despite ongoing concerns regarding other drugs like fentanyl.
