A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Aug. 8 for a Milwaukee man suspected of dealing cocaine in Walworth County.
Boston J. Hubbert, 34, was charged July 24 in Walworth County Circuit Court with possession with intent to deliver cocaine and felony bail jumping, both as a repeater.
According to the criminal complaint, a deputy saw Sheila Pickett, 25, of Milwaukee, pick Hubbert up from the Huber Dorm in Elkhorn on June 14 and received a tip that Hubbert was dealing crack cocaine with Pickett. An officer followed Pickett and Hubbert to Kwik Trip where Hubbert, whose driver’s license is revoked, got into the driver’s seat of the car and drove to Speedway where he picked up Derek Schroeder, 32, of Delavan. The three then pulled into the Burger King parking lot, and the officer approached the car and saw Hubbert holding a bag of crack cocaine, according to the complaint.
Hubbert quickly tried to hide the cocaine under his legs, and the officer saw two other sandwich bags on the floor of the car that contained large amounts of cocaine, according to the complaint. The first bag contained 21 individual plastic bags of cocaine, and the second contained 14 individual bags of cocaine with a total weight of 7.82 grams, according to the complaint.
Hubbert was under bond conditions at the time on a charge of failing to report to jail and was convicted in Milwaukee County in 2016 of robbery with the threat of force.
