A Milwaukee man facing a felony weapons charge following the execution of a search warrant last week at a Dodge County residence has been bound over for trial. Probable cause was found at a preliminary hearing Thursday for 56 year old Kirk Lupton. He’s charged with one count of felon in possession of a firearm.  Last Wednesday, the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team executed the search warrant at a Town of Lowell residence, recovering 35 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition and suspected illegal drugs. A second suspect, 34 year old Richard Nutter of Reeseville was arrested on a probation violation. The search warrant and arrests were part of a lengthy joint investigation by the sheriff’s office, and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.  An arraignment hearing for Lupton has been scheduled for May 25th.
