GOGEBIC COUNTY — Four people are accused of dealing methamphetamine and heroin in the Upper Peninsula’s Gogebic County and Iron County in neighboring Wisconsin.

In late 2025, Gogebic Iron Area Narcotics Team investigators obtained information that two Ironwood women, along with known and unknown co-conspirators, had been bringing large amounts of methamphetamine and heroin to the two counties to distribute.

As GIANT continued with its investigation, they learned that unknown males were frequently transporting methamphetamine and heroin from Southern Wisconsin in rental vehicles.

Investigators began investigating the women and co-conspirators and GIANT was able to observe a target vehicle in Gogebic County on the afternoon of March 8.

The efforts culminated in a search warrant being issued in City of Ironwood. A search of the vehicle and a residence did yield more than 1 pound of methamphetamine and more than 5 ounces of heroin, black tar heroin, and fentanyl packaged for distribution, packaging materials, items used for distributing controlled substances and U.S. currency.
