A northern Wisconsin man is in custody on drug charges following another traffic stop on Interstate 41 in Fond du Lac County.   Shortly before 6pm Friday a sheriff’s deputy observed a vehicle quickly exit the Interstate at South Hickory Street and pull into the Kwik Trip parking lot in what appeared to be an attempt to avoid being located.  The deputy conducted a traffic stop for multiple moving and equipment violations.  A search of the vehicle recovered marijuana, a loaded handgun, edible THC candy and a backpack containing $70,000 cash.   The suspect, a 23 year old Langlade County man, was arrested and transported to the Fond du Lac County Jail on multiple drug and firearm related charges.  Additionally, the suspect is currently out on bail for felony attempting to elude an officer in Portage County and thus was arrested for felony bail jumping.    The Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group drug task force is continuing the investigation.
