According to the criminal complaint, officers made an arrangement to purchase prescription drugs from Bell via a confidential informant in April, which was completed in a parking lot in downtown Waukesha. The next day, officers again arranged a drug deal with Bell and Baker in the parking lot of a business in the 100 block of East Broadway, where officers purchased cocaine.
