Two men arrested for methamphetamine-related offenses
On June 13, at 2:30 a.m., the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit, along with a Prairie du Chien police officer, made contact with a vehicle that was parked at a business after their hours of operation in the city of Prairie du Chien.
Upon the officers’ arrival, several occupants exited the 2003 Mitsubishi Montero and gave conflicting stories as to why they were in town and how they knew each other. The occupants were identified as Colin Schneider, 26, Muscoda; Paige Bell, 21, Lone Rock; Dakota Lins, 23, Gotham, and Treagir Sander, 18, Boscobel. Sander attempted to lie about his identity and all three men exhibited signs of drug impairment.
K-9 Breck was utilized for an open free sniff of the vehicle and alerted to the presence of one or more controlled substances within the vehicle.
A search of the vehicle yielded a glass smoking device used to ingest methamphetamine, which was determined to belong to Sander. Sander was subsequently arrested for obstructing justice, possession of methamphetamine paraphernalia and felony bail jumping for several drug charges stemming from other counties. Sander also had an active warrant for his arrest.
Schneider was placed under arrest for operating with a restricted controlled substance (first offense). Both Sander and Schneider were transported to the Crawford County Jail.
