Anschutz is also facing felony possession with intent to distribute heroin, marijuana, amphetamine and psilocybin mushrooms. Additional charges include two felony charges for possession of narcotics and six additional misdemeanor charges for possession of amphetamines, LSD and psilocybin mushrooms; cocaine; and drug paraphernalia.

Assistant Door County District Attorney Joan Korb also appeared in court.

Anschutz's initial appearance was adjourned until 9:30 a.m. Tuesday when his attorney can take part in the proceedings.

Incident report

The incident report filed with the criminal complaint outlines what happened in the days leading up to Sept. 21.

On Sept. 19 the Door County Sheriff's Department was notified by the U.S. Postal inspector that special agents from the Department of Homeland Security in Calexico, Calif., executed a federal search warrant on a U.S. Postal Service parcel which was later found to contain 1.7 grams of black tar heroin and 1.8 grams of white heroin base. The package was addressed to Anschutz's home on Sunny Slope Road in Egg Harbor. Multiple agencies worked together to complete the control delivery of the narcotics to Door County.

Authorities had the home under surveillance Sept. 20 and the next day Anschutz's parcel was brought to the Sheriff's Department from Milwaukee sans the white heroin base. The base was kept by Homeland Security investigators in California. The U.S. Postal inspector assisted with the repackaging and controlled delivery of the package. The day before officers had received an anticipatory search warrant on Sept. 20.

The inspector delivered the package, but Anschutz was not home at that time. When he arrived later in the day, authorities had the inspector make another round to look like the mail was being dropped off. Anschutz came out a short time later and picked up the mail.

Prior to delivering the package, the inspector found a second package for Anschutz's that was deemed "suspicious."

The incident report states officers tried to make contact with Anschutz outside the home he shares with his parents. They called out to him and announced themselves as law enforcement. Anschutz allegedly continued into the house.

Officers caught up with him as he entered the home's living room.

According to the report, he allegedly made the "spontaneous utterance" of "I didn't order anything." After which Anschutz asked for a lawyer and requested his personal effects be given to his mother, who was at home during his arrest. His father was also at home.

The report continues:

Inside a cigarette packet - taken from Anschutz's shirt pocket - officers found a folded plastic bag, two pieces of foil, a rolled paper tube and three cigarettes.

When asked what was in the bag he allegedly replied, "I don't know. I found that in a ditch." The substance later tested positive for methamphetamine.

At that point Anschutz was put under arrest for possession heroin and drug paraphernalia.

Anshcutz's mother and father were asked to wait outside while officers searched the home.

A Wisconsin State Patrol trooper was led to locked safe behind an access panel in a walk-in closet in Anschutz's bedroom by his K-9. The dog also indicated there were drugs in the cigarette pack taken from the suspect.

The door of the safe was destroyed during the search

According to the report, officers found numerous drugs, gem bags, drug paraphernalia, one hypodermic needle, prescription drugs prescribed for Anschutz and another man, an express mail envelope addressed to Anschutz from Shanghai China, additional medications, marijuana, meth, cocaine, a digital scale, pscilyaban mushrooms, empty vacuum seal bags, alcohol, heroin, Adderall pills, and two paper bindles containing possible drugs. Also found were miscellaneous papers, a .22 caliber Stevens pump action rifle, blotter paper and possible LSD, and two glass pipes with residue. Additionally, a laptop and cellphones were seized.

According to the report, 19.5 grams of methamphetamines and 8.8 grams of suspected heroin were found during the search.

This is a pretty big fucking deal. Domestic delivery, almost certainly DNM related, personal-use quantitites. Controlled delivery followed by a search without even a signature, they just waited on him to retrieve the pack and then "caught up with him" as he entered the house, whatever that means.

This flies in the face of almost all the conventional wisdom around here:

What we now have on record is, for the first time in my awareness, a situation where where surveillance coupled with simply taking possession in a domestic delivered, personal use amount triggered an anticipatory warrant leading directly into a full search.

About the (only) comfort anyone who orders anything from a DNM should take from this is that the guy was already a felon, so maybe they had another reason to be watching him. Then again, it might have been as simple as this:

Prior to delivering the package, the inspector found a second package for Anschutz's that was deemed "suspicious."

That and that he ordered to a non-clean house, otherwise he might have eventually gotten off, though with priors that becomes much more doubtful.

As if all that wasn't bad enough, the entire timeline according to the article took only 2 days to arrange surveillance, CD, warrant and arrest.

Unless I am missing something blatantly obvious, this article should have all of us shitting our collective pants.

"Shit. He's not home. All right. We'll just wait for him to come home and pick it up then."

"Okay guys. Here it is. He's home and walking up the steps. He'll check for the package and then we'll.....................Shit.

Someone call USPS and get Bill back out here."
