A Crawford County Jail inmate faces narcotics and possession charges after he attempted to smuggle items into a jail cell.

On April 25, the Prairie du Chien Police Department received information that an inmate of the jail had various kinds of controlled substances in his jail cell. K-9 Phoenix conducted a sniff, during which she indicated to a mattress on the top bunk of a jail cell. While jailers searched the mattress, they located two vials of an unknown liquid, suspected to be Suboxone, over eight grams of meth that were wrapped in plastic and electrical tape, and another item wrapped in electrical tape that were all attached on a string. The Crawford County jailers also located a sock on the inmate’s person that contained multiple syringes, close to another eight grams of meth, a baggie of suspected heroin, four tablets of suspected Adderall, a Fentanyl patch, and multiple strips of Suboxone. 

Ultimately, 0.5 grams of heroin, 14.6 grams of meth, 32 Suboxone strips with the two vials of suspected Suboxone totaling 19.1 grams, six syringes, four Adderall tablets, and a Fentanyl patch were seized.

It is believed that the inmate, Ura Giengerich, 31, of Sparta, smuggled these items into the jail by concealing them on his person upon turning himself in to serve his sentence. 

Charges are being referred to the Crawford County District Attorney’s Office on Giengerich for three counts of possession of schedule I and II narcotic drug, possession with intent to deliver schedule III narcotic drugs, possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, obstructing an officer, damage to property, and two counts of possession with intent to deliver controlled substances in a jail.
