A Menasha man will be spending 14 and a half years in federal prison after being convicted in a drug and ghost gun case.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, 26-year-old Gene W. Wolf was found to be in possession of over 9,000 fentanyl pills, over $50,000 in cash, and three handguns when his home was searched last August.
Additionally, one of the weapons was what is known as a ghost gun, which is a firearm that does not have a serial number and thus cannot be tracked.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul commented on the case, noting that “Fentanyl is a scourge on our communities, and we must continue working to keep Wisconsinites safe from this extremely dangerous drug,” before thanking everyone who aided in the investigation.
Gregory J. Haanstad, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, also commented, saying, “Working with our federal, state, local, and tribal partners to combat fentanyl trafficking and firearms offenses remains among our office’s highest priorities.”
