Gregory J. Haanstad, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on Wednesday, March 1, 2017, Jesse J. Wohlrabe (age: 30) of Appleton, Wisconsin, appeared in federal court in Green Bay and was sentenced to 72 months in federal prison for his involvement in a conspiracy to distribute heroin in the Fox Valley.
In pronouncing sentence, Chief U.S. District Court Judge William C. Griesbach noted the serious nature of Wohlrabe’s crime and the heroin addiction epidemic occurring in Northeast Wisconsin to which Wohlrabe contributed. The judge strongly condemned Wohlrabe’s prior criminal record. He concluded that Wohlrabe was deserving of a substantial prison sentence. Following his release from prison, Wohlrabe will serve 5 years on federal supervised release.
The case was investigated by the Lake Winnebago Area MEG Unit. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel R. Humble. # #
