GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The suspect facing the most charges in connection with a large-scale drug bust was ordered Friday to stand trial.
Felton Currie, 46, waived a preliminary hearing on 28 charges, including 11 for manufacture & delivery of fentanyl. An arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 23.
Also charged in the drug bust are Michael Oliver, Jessica Wright, Ebony Austin, Kyla Sanache, Cheri Austin, and James Grandberry.
At a recent news conference, police said the arrests were the culmination of a six-month investigation. The suspects allegedly were involved in trafficking drugs from Chicago to Northeast Wisconsin.
Five search warrants were executed in Brown County earlier in July. A simultaneous search of the stash house in Chicago yielded 12 kilograms (26 pounds) of fentanyl, four kilograms (nine pounds) of cocaine, 748 grams (1.6 pounds) of meth, 460 grams (one pound) of heroin, 16 guns and some marijuana.
All of the criminal complaints have been sealed from public view. Online court records reference “intercepted wire communications” as a reason for the sealed files.
