Lake Geneva residents arrested in heroin bust

LAKE GENEVA — Two Lake Geneva residents were arrested Thursday evening for possession of heroin.

Amber L. Drummond, 24, and Jeremy L. Nunn, 32, were taken to the Walworth County Jail after Lake Geneva police executed a search warrant at their residence in the 200 block of Warren Street.

Officers recovered 70 bindles containing approximately 7 grams of heroin and about $940 cash, according to Det. Ed Gritzner of the Lake Geneva Police Department.

A 36-year-old man, who Drummond confirmed to be a previous buyer, also was arrested after approaching the house when the warrant was being executed at 7:19 p.m. He later was released while officers investigate the case.

This is the second heroin-related arrest in Walworth County in the past week.

Eric L. McIntyre, 30, of N2402 Charles Young Drive, Burlington, is charged with three counts of delivery of heroin, one count of possession of heroin with intent to deliver, six counts of possession of a firearm by a felon and one count of possession of marijuana.

McIntyre was under surveillance by the Walworth County Drug Enforcement Unit, which worked with a confidential informant to buy heroin three times in April, according to the criminal complaint.

A search warrant of McIntyre’s residence revealed three rifles, three pistols, 174 tinfoil bindles containing about 17 grams of heroin, 6 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, according to the complaint.

McIntyre waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday and is scheduled for arraignment April 29. He is being held on $70,000 cash bond.

Drummond and Nunn each are being held on $50,000 cash bond. They are scheduled for preliminary hearings May 1.
