A Spooner woman has plead guilty to charges of possession of methamphetamine stemming from a Spooner Police investigation which has resulted in criminal charges in Washburn County Circuit Court for multiple individuals.
Kaydee Mortensen, of Spooner, WI, was one of the several people located by law enforcement early this year during the execution of a search warrant on February 22, 2017, at a residence near Spooner, WI on Carlton Road. Several people received criminal charges, including Mortensen.

According to online circuit court records, charges of Class I Felony Possession of Methamphetamine and Misdemeanor Possession of Drug Paraphernalia were filed against Mortensen. The criminal complaint filed against Mortensen states that when officers spoke to her at the residence following her arrest, she reportedly admitted to having smoked methamphetamine as well as hash and that she had a methamphetamine pipe on her person.
The search warrant was executed at the residence on Carlton Road after a lengthy investigation by the Spooner Police Department resulting from multiple tips from confidential informants stating that methamphetamine, heroin and prescription pills were being sold out of that residence and that marijuana was being grown there.
When officers arrived at the residence, several people fled on foot. According to the criminal complaint, at least 5 individuals were apprehended outside the residence. When officers interviewed Mortensen, she allegedly told them that everyone at the residence was smoking methamphetamine and hash inside Jeremy Englund's bedroom. Mortensen also stated that she smokes methamphetamine in order to have friends and that she had only been smoking it for a few months.
During the search of the residence, officers located dozens of items of drug paraphernalia including hypodermic needles and pipes, as well as equipment which appeared to be for the purpose of creating drug paraphernalia and other equipment which was suspected to be for making hash oil. Officers also found marijuana, prescription pills, methamphetamine and heroin.
