The Oshkosh Police Department arrested two individuals Oct. 30 on the 400 block of Sullivan St. after they were found to have outstanding warrants and possessed various drugs and drug paraphernalia.
OPD Officer Kate Mann said that the department stands united with the Oshkosh community in the fight against drugs to ensure that the city remains a safe place for all.
“The Oshkosh Police Department continues to work diligently to investigate crimes of this nature,” Mann said in a press release. “The presence of illegal drugs and drug dealers poses a threat to the health, safety, and well-being of our residents. We will not tolerate the distribution, sale, or possession of illegal narcotics within our city. We will continue to work tirelessly, utilizing all available resources to identify and apprehend those individuals who engage in these destructive behaviors.”
