Additional charges have been given to a Neenah man after drugs were found on him at the Manitowoc County Jail.
41-year-old Richard A. Muth was given a $4,000 cash bail yesterday (November 10th) by Court Commissioner Jewel Scharenbroch on charges of Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Bail Jumping.
These charges arose after a traffic stop where the 41-year-old was confirmed to be the driver.
During the stop, authorities noticed a box of syringes in the back seat, initiating a K9 sniff of the vehicle, which alerted officers to the presence of drugs.
Muth was then arrested and transported to the Manitowoc County Jail.
During an intake search of his person, corrections officers located a bag containing 2.6 grams of methamphetamine in his shoe, resulting in an additional charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance in a Jail being tacked on to his original charges.
Additional terms of his bail include maintaining absolute sobriety, and he is not to possess any controlled substances.
This incident took place while Muth was free on a $3,000 cash bail out of Washington County, where he also faces charges of Possession of Methamphetamine, Cocaine, and Narcotic Drugs.
He will return to make his initial appearance in court on Monday (November 16th) in Branch 2.
