Multiple suspects arrested Monday on drug charges

MENOMINEE — The Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team arrested an 18-year-old female from Marinette, Wisconsin, and a 20-year-old male from Peshtigo, Wisconsin, Monday on multiple drug-related charges.

Over the past two months, UPSET detectives have been investigating a female heroin dealer who is a suspect in relation to two overdoses that occurred in Menominee, a press release from UPSET states.

While working in the Menominee area Monday night, UPSET detectives overheard a 911 call of a suspected overdose at a residence in Menominee.

The female heroin dealer was present at the residence when uniformed officers and EMS arrived.

Narcan was used to revive the victim prior to UPSET arrival. UPSET detectives obtained and executed a search warrant at the residence.

During the search, evidence of cocaine, heroin and fentanyl were detected from various items seized. Additional drug packaging, scales and drug ledgers were also seized.

The female subject was lodged in the Menominee County Jail on two counts of delivery of heroin, possession of methamphetamine and possession of fentanyl.

The male subject was lodged in the Menominee County Jail on charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of heroin and maintaining a drug house.

The names of the subjects are not being released at this time pending their arraignment in the 95A District Court in Menominee.

UPSET was assisted by the Menominee Police Department.
