MULTIPLE POLICE DEPARTMENTS PERFORM DRUG BUSTS


Search warrants were executed on Thursday, April 14, 2022 at two residences in Phillips.

Methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia was found at each residence.  Arrests were made for possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver.

Both residences were near the schools in Phillips.  The School District of Phillips informed parents that an event outside the school put the schools in "hold status," which meant the students and staff continued classes as normal but were directed to stay in the classrooms.  Once the arrests were made in the neighborhood, students and staff were given an "all clear" and the day resumed as normal.

The investigation and arrests were performed by the Price County Sheriff’s Office and Phillips Police Department with assistance from officers with the Park Falls Police Department, Tomahawk Police Department, Taylor County Sheriff’s Office, Rusk County Sheriff’s Office, and various K-9 units.
