GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Felton Currie, the suspect at the center of a large-scale drug bust in Brown County, was convicted of 15 charges Thursday.
Sentencing is set for Aug. 26.
Currie, 47, pleaded no contest to ten charges of fentanyl delivery, plus counts for cocaine and meth delivery, as well as maintaining a drug trafficking place. As part of the plea deal, 13 charges were dismissed.
The plea does not include specific sentencing recommendations from either the state or defense, court records show.
Currie was one of seven people charged last summer, and had the most counts filed against him.
At a news conference last July, 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.
