One of seven arrested after the execution of a search warrant back in May appeared in Portage County Court on Monday.
Back on May 22nd, members of the Stevens Point/Plover SWAT Team executed a search warrant at 2817 Water St. in Stevens Point. The team then executed another search warrant at 500 Forest St. The warrants were narcotics related and multiple individuals were expected to be at each residence.
During the warrant executions, a total of 7 people were taken into custody and jailed including Jason Sculley, Kevin Troyanoski, McKenna Westerhouse, Jeffrey Royce, Heidi Billman, Dondrick Tackes, and Tyler Bablitch.
Tackes appeared in Portage County Court on Monday and is facing charges of manufacture/deliver amphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. During his arraignment he entered a not guilty plea to the charges against him. He’s scheduled to be back in court in September.
At both locations, searches of the residence, outlying buildings and vehicles were completed. At 2817 Water St. 616.65 grams of meth (1.36 pounds) was located, paraphernalia associated with meth, THC and items associated with THC, and Psilocybin mushrooms. At 500 Forest St. Detectives located meth and items associated with meth and THC and items associated with THC.
The Stevens Point Inspections Office was called to this location after the residence was secured for an inspection. The residence was deemed “uninhabitable” at this time and allowed 24 hours to vacate the residence.
These cases were a result of many citizen tips, information gathered from members of our community, as well as investigations conducted by our Detectives. They encourage people to continue to come forward with any and all information they have, if they believe there is illegal activity happening in their neighborhood.
You can do so anonymously through our Crimestoppers App or call center, or in person at the Stevens Point Police Department. The Stevens Point Police Department would like to thank the Central Wisconsin Drug Task Force for their assistance, as well as the Stevens Point Fire Department and the Stevens Point Inspections Office.
