An appeals court has upheld the drug conviction of an over the road trucker convicted in a cold case murder of a Sturdevant teenager in Fond du Lac County. The District Two Court of Appeals has upheld Dennis Brantner’s drug possession conviction. Brantner was convicted of trying to smuggle prescription medication when he was being booked into the Fond du lac County Jail in 2016. He was sentenced to six and a half years in prison.

As part of a plea agreement Brantner avoided a re-trial on charges of first degree murder when he was convicted last February of second degree reckless homicide.
