Local man arrested in drug bust

On Oct. 31, the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit was patrolling on Highway 18 in Bridgeport Township when he observed Anthony Hagensick, 35, of Monona, Iowa, operating a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox northbound into the city of Prairie du Chien.  

The deputy ran a license check and found Hagensick’s driving status was revoked. Hagensick pulled into Hardee’s parking and exited the vehicle in an attempt to avoid the deputy. The deputy made contact with Hagensick and detected an odor of marijuana emitting from Hagensick. Hagensick also exhibited several signs of drug impairment. Several controlled substances and drug related items were located on Hagensick’s person.

Hagensick was arrested on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine paraphernalia, possession of marijuana (second offense or higher), possession of marijuana paraphernalia, operating after revocation, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of restricted controlled substances and felony bail jumping because Hagensick is currently under bond through Crawford County Circuit Court for felony drug charges.

Assisting the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit was the Prairie du Chien Police Department and Crossing Rivers Health.
