Fed Report: Meth Purchased In The Dotte Distributed Throughout Kansas

Most of our conversation today focused on crime . . . Accordingly, we wanted to share this news item that starts close to home and then moves throughout rural Kansas. 

As always . . .

This news item merits attention because it, yet again, proves that crime never stops at city limits and has a tendency to spread across the metro and often even further. 

Here's the word . . .

"Federal court documents connected to the recent arrests of four Emporians, a Texas resident and two Mexicans illegally living in Emporia on significant drug distribution charges indicate the inquiry developed months ago as part of work by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation in the Kansas City metro area.

"Following conversations between the KBI and a confidential informant in late January, the agency and informant worked together to buy nearly 10 pounds or over 4.5 kilograms of methamphetamine as part of five different transactions by mid-March and then collaborated to buy 33 pounds, or 15 kilos, at a Kansas City, Kansas, grocery store in late March. Related information from a suspect arrested at the scene indicated meth traffic between Kansas City and Emporia, and other information from a search warrant included messages and location data, including a home in Emporia’s 800 block of West Fifth and a ranch owned by defendant Troy Wagaman in the 1200 block of Road D, about eight miles southwest of Emporia."
