There were two drug arrests in Fond du Lac County this month that involved children.
The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office reported over the weekend that the first of the two arrests came on June 4th.
A deputy had noticed a vehicle with a defect, leading to a traffic stop.
The driver was found to have an active warrant, leading to a search of the driver and the vehicle uncovered some controlled substances.
There were a total of seven children in the vehicle at the time, ranging in age from 11 months to 12 years old.
Then, on June 15th, a deputy noticed a motorist with a registration defect.
A traffic stop was conducted, which is when the deputy noticed the smell of a controlled substance.
This driver also had an active warrant leading to a search of the vehicle.
5 grams of fentanyl were found in the vehicle, which was transporting four teenagers at the time, and 19 grams of cocaine was found on the driver.
In both these cases, minor children had unobstructed access to these dangerous items, and both incidents were forwarded to the Fond du Lac County Child Abuse & Child Welfare Access Services Unit.
