According to the criminal complaint, Nero made three drug sales to a confidential informant working for the Waupaca County Sheriff’s Office.
On July 18, she allegedly sold five suboxone tablets for $140 to the CI at her home on the E800 block of Mynard Drive in the town of Dayton.
On Sept. 19, the CI arranged to make a drug purchase, but when the CI arrived at Nero’s home, there were four other people waiting to buy drugs because she did not have enough on hand.
