An individual arrested after the execution of a search warrant in Wood County appeared in court.

The Wood County Sheriff’s Department on Oct. 6 executed five search warrants in the Town of Hansen and in the Village of Vesper, where large amounts of methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin were seized. Investigators also seized a large quantity of U.S. currency and firearms.

The Marshfield, Wisconsin Rapids, Nekoosa, Stevens Point and Plover Police Departments, along with the Marathon County Sheriff’s Department and members of the Central Wisconsin Drug Task Force, assisted the Wood County Sheriff’s Department with the arrests of seven individuals.

Of the seven people arrested, three of them had the charges against them dropped. Those still facing charges include John Andereggen, Crystal Volk, Stephanie Bennett, and Mark Reiss.

These individuals were taken into custody for different criminal charges, depending on each person’s involvement in the investigation. One person, John Brogan, had the charges from this case dropped.

However, recently he was arrested again in another drug bust and is facing charges in a different case. Crystal Volk appeared in court on Monday. She stood mute in court, so a not guilty plea was entered on her behalf.

She’s facing possession charges of several different drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, and maintaining a drug trafficking place. She’s scheduled to be back in court on March 10th.
