BESSEMER, MI— A Wisconsin man was sentenced in Gogebic County last week on meth-related charges.
David Trovillion, 45, of Montreal was a passenger in a vehicle stopped in Ironwood for traffic violations last April. Police also had probable cause to believe the vehicle was transporting drugs into the county, following a month-long investigation by GIANT.
K-9 Debwe alerted on the vehicle after Trovillion was ordered out of the car. Officers saw an orange object clenched in his hand, and believed it was a cap from a syringe used to inject drugs. They also saw gem bags falling to the ground near him.
Police found additional syringes and a bag of meth on Trovillion. Additional drugs and paraphernalia were found in the vehicle. Trovillion also resisted officer’s attempts to place him under arrest.
He was sentenced to 5 years, 11 months to 30 years for possession of meth within 1,000 feet of school property and 1-2 years for resisting and obstructing an officer.
