WAUPACA, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Nine people have been arrested in connection with a meth distribution ring in Waupaca County.
Sheriff’s officials say the investigation began in February.
Eight people have so far been charged in the case:
- Thomas E. Gill, 28, of Waupaca (released on $2,000 cash bond)
- Melissa A. Cain, 26, of Waupaca (released on $500 cash bond)
- Jonathan D. Neuroth, 27, Waupaca (released on $2,500 signature bond)

A ninth person, 28-year-old Justin L. Hoefferle of Waupaca, was jailed on a probation hold and has not been formally charged in the case.
Authorities say, with the help of informants, undercover agents made controlled drug buys from Gill, Cain, Neuroth, Williams, Dohm, Tessen and Locadio-Alquinzon.
The purchases happened in Waupaca and in the King area.
More arrests are expected, the sheriff’s office says.
