Man Busted With Drugs Near Groin Sold to Police 5 Times, Complaint Says

A Milwaukee man faces 10 misdemeanor and felony charges after he was accused of selling drugs to informants working with the Waukesha Police Department on multiple occasions.

Patrick B. Tompkins, 22, was charged Wednesday in Waukesha County Circuit Court with one count of possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession with intent to deliver marijuana, obstructing an officer, five counts of delivering marijuana and one count of delivering cocaine.

If convicted, Tompkins faces almost 36 years initial confinement in prison and  $111,500 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

Waukesha investigators worked with a confidential informant to purchase drugs from Tompkins in July and August:

• $125 for 8.9 grams of marijuana and $50 for .3 grams of cocaine at a gas station on July 11
• $250 for 14.4 grams of marijuana in a business parking lot on July 24
• $450 for 27.3 grams of marijuana at an apartment complex on Aug. 27
• $250 for 14.1 grams of marijuana at an apartment complex on Aug. 28
• $1,400 for 26.3 grams of marijuana at an apartment complex on Aug. 31

Tompkins was pulled over for a defective license plate lamp at 1:47 a.m. March 18 on West St. Paul Avenue. The police officer could smell marijuana in the car, but after searching Tompkins, he did not locate marijuana.

The officer requested a drug-sniffing dog, which indicated there were drugs in the vehicle. Police found $482 in cash and a digital scale in the vehicle.

At the Waukesha Police Department, the officer asked Tompkins to hand over any drugs on him. Tompkins, who would not answer questions about his name and address, refused to give over any drugs.

Tompkins eventually reached into his groin area and pulled out 17.6 grams of marijuana and 1 gram of crack cocaine.

Tompkins also gave the officer a false name and Wisconsin driver’s license, however, the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department was able to provide his correct identity.
