FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ) – A Fond du Lac man has pleaded guilty to manufacturing and delivering heroin and will face more than 100 years in prison.
48-year-old Allen Ferguson’s operation brought about 15.4 pounds of heroin, which has a street value of more than $1 million, into Fond du Lac between March 2015 and February 2017, according to prosecutors.
A sentencing hearing will be set for a later date and his $5 million cash bond has been revoked.
Prosecutors allege that Ferguson first came to the area to help distribute heroin, but he eventually took over the operation and began making trips between Fond du Lac and Chicago about three times a month to pick up a total of between 200 and 300 grams of the drug per month.
More than 150 grams of heroin, 7 grams of crack cocaine, firearms, and thousands of dollars in cash were seized throughout the investigation.
