Case: Reckless Homicide Arrests made in Washington County Fatal Overdose
Authority: Lieutenant of Detectives Tim Kemps
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Force, in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigations Overdose Death Initiative (ODI), conducted two early morning operations in the City of Milwaukee on Thursday. A search warrant was served by the Wisconsin DCI joint tactical team with assistance from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team in the 9500 block of W. Lisbon Ave in connection with a July overdose death in the Town of Farmington that was being investigated jointly by the major crimes and drug task force divisions. A Milwaukee man was taken into custody by the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office on local gun and drug charges after 32 grams of fentanyl, around 100 grams of cocaine, and two firearms were recovered during the search warrant.
Investigators then responded to a residence in the 4700 block of N 51st Street, where they had served a search warrant in connection with the same case in August. This time, it was to serve arrest warrants for reckless homicide. One of the suspects, 52-year-old Andrew Outlaw, was located and taken into custody without incident by the tactical unit. Later in the day, he made his initial appearance in front of the Honorable Judge Michael Kenitz, where he was given a $250,000 cash bond. He remains in custody at Washington County Jail.
Washington County investigators also had an arrest warrant for a 40-year-old former Washington County resident, Ryan Immel (photo attached), who had been residing at the residence in Milwaukee. He was not located and remains at large. Investigators believe he may be in the La Crosse area. If anyone has information on his whereabouts, they are encouraged to contact local authorities or email Lt. Tim Kemps at

Washington County Sheriff Martin Schulteis said, “The Washington County Sheriff’s Office remains grateful for the partnership that we have built with the Wisconsin DCI ODI group. This group continues to be an invaluable partner with our agency. It is because of this collaboration that Washington County Sheriff’s Investigators can infiltrate and bring drug dealers to justice anywhere outside our jurisdictional boundaries. Many of these drug dealers feel they can operate with impunity and sell this poison to our residents. When they see a Washington County Sheriff’s Office Armored Rescue Vehicle rolling down the streets of Milwaukee and see the amount of time, effort, and passion our investigators and the Washington County District Attorney’s Office put into these cases, it is my hope they think twice.”
Andrew Outlaw and Ryan Immel face up to 60 years in prison on the First-Degree Reckless Homicide Charges. This case remains open, and further individuals could be charged in the future in connection with the death.
