FOX VALLEY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A Menasha man was convicted of possessing more than $40,000 worth of methamphetamine.
Tony Weaver, 45, was convicted of nine felonies, including possessing nearly one pound of methamphetamine with the intent to deliver, eluding a traffic officer, felony bail jumping, and numerous other charges.
District Attorney Eric Toney said, “this was a significant law enforcement investigation that went across state lines and involved law enforcement agencies from the Fox Valley down to the Kenosha area, including local drug task forces. Their dedicated work has made our entire region safer through the arrest and conviction of Tony Weaver, a significant drug dealer.”
Weaver was arrested on April 30, 2019 after leading authorities on a chase across multiple jurisdictions. When Weaver was located, 439 grams of meth was found near his vehicle.
The traffic stop came after a nearly yearlong multijurisdictional investigation into methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine trafficking in the Fox Valley in which Tony Weaver was a target of the investigation.
Weaver faces more than 40 years of initial prison confinement.
