MENOMINEE — A Menominee man has been charged with nine felonies after he was found with more than a pound of methamphetamine.

Jeffery Wayne Tomes, age 57, was arraigned in Menominee County District Court Thursday. He was recently arrested in the city of Menominee after a search warrant executed by the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team (UPSET) at 2411 10th Avenue revealed 457.9 grams of methamphetamine in his possession. In addition to the methamphetamine, two handguns, two rifles, two Tasers, several digital scales, a substantial amount of cash and a large quantity of small Ziplock-style baggies used for packaging the drug for retail sale were seized.

Tomes is charged with two counts of Possession with Intent to Deliver Methamphetamine, each of which carries a possible sentence of up to 20-years in prison; two counts of Possession of a Taser; one count of Maintaining a Drug House; and four counts of Felony Firearm.

“This is the largest quantity of methamphetamine seized in Menominee County since I have been in office,” said Menominee County Prosecuting Attorney Jeffery Rogg in a press release announcing Tomes’ arraignment.

District Court Judge Robert Jamo appointed Attorney Sarah Seaborg to represent Tomes. His next court date is for a probable cause conference scheduled for Nov. 17 at 2:30 p.m. His preliminary examination is set for Dec. 2 at 2 p.m.

Bond for Tomes was set at $500,000 cash or surety.
