On December 9, detectives from the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team (UPSET) and officers from Escanaba Department of Public Safety arrested five people for charges related to the use and distribution of crystal meth and prescription pills.
After a 6-month-long investigation, that spanned throughout Delta County, Menominee County, Dickinson County and areas in Wisconsin, UPSET detectives arrested 34-year-old Travis Anderson of Escanaba and his associates for charges related to the distribution of meth and prescription drugs.
Numerous drug related felony warrants were issued for ANDERSON in November of 2019 by the Delta County Prosecutor’s Office. The warrants were the result of multiple UPSET cases involving ANDERSON’s distribution of drugs.
