Rhinelander man arrested for selling drugs while armed
Dalton U. Kampf is facing a class H felony charge of delivery of a Schedule I, II or III non-narcotics (use of a dangerous weapon) along with the misdemeanors carrying a concealed weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to the police report attached to a criminal complaint filed March 21 in Oneida County Circuit Court, a police detective saw Kampf make what appeared to be a drug sale at a downtown Rhinelander location March 18. When a member of the Rhinelander Police Department performed a traffic stop on the vehicle Kampf was driving, the officer observ-ed a handgun concealed in the middle console of the vehicle, the report states.
After back-up arrived, Kampf was searched and a medicine bottle with a prescription for Vyvanse (also known as the stimulant lisdexamfetamine) was found. The police report alleges that the prescription, which was in Kampf's name, was filled the day before the traffic stop. The prescription was for 28 pills but only five were in the bottle, the report states. Based on the prescribed dosage, officers determined 21 pills were missing.
The report also states officers found a glass pipe used to smoke marijuana and a metal grinder with suspected marijuana residue on Kampf's person.
Officers questioned the other two occupants of the car, one of whom said she was Kampf's girlfriend. The woman told the officers she gave the gun to Kampf as a present. Both of the occupants told the officers they did not know what Kampf was doing.
The two occupants were taken to the Oneida County Jail and held pending further investigation. Neither individual has been charged with a crime.
An investigator from the Northcentral Drug Enforcement Group (NORDEG) detained the person believed to have purchased drugs from Kampf. That person admitted to paying Kampf $100 for 10 of the Vyvanse pills, according to the report.
During an interview at the Oneida County Jail, Kampf admitted to selling the pills but claimed his girlfriend and the other passenger in the car did not know what was taking place, the report states..
Kampf made his initial appearance March 21 before court commissioner Galen Bayne-Allison, who ordered a $500 cash bond. He is scheduled for an adjourned initial appearance before circuit judge Michael Bloom on March 28.
If found guilty of the felony, Kampf faces up to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The use of a dangerous weapon enhancer could add up to five additional years to any sentence handed down.
