Wood County Drug Bust After Reported Home Fire

Sunday, May 29th, 2022 -- 9:42 AM

(Mike Leischner, WSAU) -It started with a call about a house fire and ended with a drug bust for a Wood County man.

Fire crews were called to the home in the Village of Port Edwards last Sunday. Some of the firefighters reported seeing signs of drug-related activity in the home, which led the Sheriff's office to obtain a search warrant. That turned up large amounts of cocaine, meth, and marijuana along with other drug-related items, which has landed 23-year-old Talon Keyser in jail on charges related to those drugs along with maintaining a drug trafficking place.

Court action against him is pending, officers didn't comment on the extent of the damage to the home from the fire
