(BEAVER DAM) A months-long drug investigation in Beaver Dam ended with a man behind bars and prosecutors accusing him of running a cocaine operation.
Robert E. Magett of Beaver Dam was arrested Thursday after the Dodge County Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Force carried out a search warrant in the 800 block of South Lincoln Avenue, according to the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office.
The Dodge County District Attorney’s Office has charged Magett with 10 counts of manufacturing or delivering cocaine, one count of maintaining a drug trafficking place, one count of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver and one count of possession of a firearm by an out-of-state felon.
Investigators say they seized a firearm, magazines, ammunition, cocaine and a large amount of cash from the residence.
Authorities describe the arrest as the result of a long-term investigation led by the drug task force. Agencies involved included the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, Beaver Dam Police Department, and police departments in Horicon, Theresa, Brownsville and Waupun.
Magett is being held in the Dodge County Jail on a $150,000 cash bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 19.
