FITCHBURG, Wis. A Fitchburg man is facing several tentative charges following a drug investigation early Thursday morning.
Special response teams from the Fitchburg and Sun Prairie police departments executed a search warrant at an apartment on the 2100 block of High Ridge Trail, according to a news release.
Fitchburg police began an investigation in late 2020 after receiving complaints of repeated drug deals at the apartment complex. Officials said concerned community members told police the deals were happening at the main entrance of an apartment building, resulting in the warrant.
The release said 12.5 pounds of marijuana and a stolen handgun were found inside the apartment. Police also seized more than $7,000 in cash.

MADISON, Wis. A local radio personality arrested for possessing child pornography used social media sites to view the images and interact with minors, according to a criminal complaint filed on Friday in Dane County Circuit Court.
Jones, 40, was arrested at his Mount Horeb home on Wednesday following a child pornography investigation.
He told detectives he used the sites Tumblr and Wickr for “sex chats and fantasies” and would pretend to be other people while online. Jones said he would often like or re-share a variety of images on the site, the complaint said.
Jones admitted to receiving nudge images of underage girls from other Tumblr users. He told detectives one user sent him 10 images over the course of two months. The images typically featured school-aged girls. His attorney argued that Jones did not ask for these images during Friday’s initial hearing.
