Illegal weapons siezed

Posted
At 6:00am on April 27, 2016 the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team executed a search warrant at N3315 County J, in the Town of Lowell, Dodge County. The search warrant was a part of a lengthy joint investigation conducted by the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigative Division and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) in regard to the purchasing and possession 

of firearms by individuals who have state or federal firearms disqualifiers prohibiting them from possessing a firearm.

The search warrant led to the seizure of about 35 firearms along with thousands of rounds of ammunition, and suspected drugs (see attached photo of some of those weapons). A male, identified as Kirk Lupton, age 56 was taken into custody and booked into the Dodge County Jail with a charge of Possession of a Firearm by a Felon being requested of the Dodge County District Attorney’s Office. Richard Nutter age 34, was also taken into custody on a probation violation and booked into the Dodge County Jail.

An ordinance device was located within the home as well. As a precaution, the Milwaukee County Bomb Squad was requested to assist the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office and determined it to be inert and safe.

The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office wants to assure the community that they are safe. We have taken a very dangerous individual with an extensive criminal history off the streets today and removed a large arsenal from him that he was not legal for him to possess. 

This case remains under investigation and therefore further information will not be released at this time.
