When local, county, and state authorities executed a search warrant at the home where a convicted felon was living Wednesday they discovered nearly 50 firearms.
47-year-old Leonard Peil was taken into custody and formal charges are pending. Bloomer police, the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department, and the Wisconsin State Patrol knocked on Peil’s door at 9:00 AM.
A search of the property turned up 49 guns, more than a thousand rounds of ammunition, and more than $30,000 in cash.
He faces multiple counts of being a felon in possession of firearms.
Peil appeared in Chippwa County Court Thursday.
