Muskego Man Caught With Heroin in Greenfield

A 19-year-old Muskego man is facing felony charges after he was caught with heroin during a traffic stop in Greenfield.

Brandon L. Kapitanski was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Friday with one count of possession of narcotic drugs. If convicted, he faces up to 3 ½ years in prison and $10,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

On Tuesday, Kapitanski was pulled over in the 9000 block of West Forest Home Avenue for having a burned out tail light on his car. During the traffic stop the officer noticed he had a municipal arrest warrant issued against him.

The passenger of the car agreed to drive the car home while Kapitanski was taken into custody, however, while checking the man’s license, a K9 unit detected drugs in the car. Police then searched the vehicle and found heroin stashed inside a cigarette pack underneath the center console.

Kapitanski told police the passenger wanted to buy heroin so he took him to his dealer in Milwaukee. He said he bought the drugs then gave them to the passenger.
