During the traffic stop, Marinette County Sheriff's Office K9 Bouwa was deployed and alerted to the odor of illegal drugs. A total of 48.115 grams of cocaine/fentanyl, 32.055 grams of methamphetamine, 14.770 grams of cocaine and 4.570 grams of black tar heroin were located and seized.
Both Mills and Unrein were arraigned Thursday in the Marinette County Circuit Court of Wisconsin, during which Marinette County Circuit Court Branch 2 Judge James Morrison set a cash bond of $25,000 for Mills and a $20,000 cash bond for Unrein. Morrison also issued a no contact order between the co-defendants.
Mills and Unrein are scheduled to appear back in court on Sept. 21.
