Brookfield and Elm Grove Men Caught With Heroin

Two men are facing drug charges after they were allegedly driving around in Brookfield looking for a place they could shoot up with heroin.

Zachriah M. Napierala, 22, of Elm Grove, and Colten A. Weber, 21, of Brookfield, were each charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court with one count of possession of narcotic drugs and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.  

According to the criminal complaint, officers pulled over Napierala’s car while the two were stopped at a red light on Gebhardt Road and Calhoun Road, after someone had reported a suspicious vehicle at the entrance of Winston Park Court. When the officer approached the car, Napierala had a syringe cap on his lap and was clutching another object.

When asked what he was doing, Napierala told the officer he had missed his methadone clinic appointment earlier in the day and handed him a small tin cup with heroin in it.

Weber also had a syringe partially full of heroin, which he said he had planned to inject.

After searching the car, the officer found 16 used syringes in an aluminum cup in the center console of the car, baggies that used to contain heroin and 80 unused syringes in the trunk.   

Napierala told the officer the two had been driving around looking for a secluded place to use heroin they purchased in Milwaukee.
