According to the indictment, the defendants conspired amongst themselves and with others to sell over 500 grams of methamphetamine in the Fox Valley region. Kham Meng Vang and Sa Xiong are alleged to have done so while in possession of semi-automatic weapons.
The case was investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation, the Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group, the Appleton Police Department, the Fox Valley Metro Police Department, the Kaukauna Police Department, the Town of Menasha Police Department, the Menasha Police Department, the Neenah Police Department, the Oshkosh Police Department, the Calumet County Sheriff’s Department, and the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department.

An indictment is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. # #
