Police in Wisconsin intercept cocaine being shipped by mail, one person arrested
In February 2022, Narcotics Task Force officers in central Wisconsin investigated a meth and cocaine trafficking group operating out of Wausau, and the investigation resulted in the seizure of numerous packages:
- Drug-laden packages from the mail
- Controlled narcotics purchased
- Firearms
- Drugs from searches at residences
Officers involved with the investigation believed that the organization was distributing kilograms worth of both cocaine and meth. Mohr was identified as a regional dealer for the organization in the Marshfield area. The prior distributor was arrested, and the leaders of the organization recruited Mohr and a friend to take over the distribution.
Mohr admitted to her actions. During the investigation and her time distributing cocaine, Mohr was out on bond and later convicted, being placed on probation for a domestic abuse case.
