Monday, December 12th, 2022 -- 4:01 PM
On October 6th, the Wood County Sheriff's Department along with several other agencies executed five search warrants in the Town of Hansen and Village of Vesper where a large quantity of methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin were seized from inside these residences.
Investigators also seized a large quantity of United States currency along with drug paraphernalia during the search. One of the seven arrested was 42-year-old John Brogan. Brogan was placed on a $10,000 cash bond and was bonded out of the Wood County Jail by a family member on October 14th.
Over the past several weeks, investigators from the Wood County Sheriff's Department have been receiving information that Brogan was still using and selling controlled substances.
On December 9th, a traffic stop was conducted in the early morning hours, which lead to Brogan being arrested for Possession of THC and Felony Bail Jumping. Information was obtained and a search warrant was executed on Brogan's residence where methamphetamine, THC, and drug paraphernalia were seized.
Multiple charges will be forwarded to the Wood County District Attorney Office including: Possession of Methamphetamine > Repeat Offender, Possession of THC, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Bail Jumping - Felony.
Wood County Sheriff's Department continues the relentless pursuit of individuals who deliver these types of dangerous drugs within our communities and will not stand for individuals who have total disregard for the law.
Prior to Brogan's arrest on December 9th, members of the Wood County Sheriff's Department attempted to make contact with Brogan to provide treatment options and support, but those attempts were unsuccessful.
They can only help those who want to be helped. With that said, they also support any individual who is struggling with addiction and hope they will seek treatment.
