‘The parents were focused on holding their son accountable,’ said Capt. Dan Baumann of the Waukesha Police Department.
‘These parents were courageous for what they did and should be commended.’
Investigators worked up through five layers of dealers before they discovered where the Huffhines brothers’ set up their operations headquarters in a Bristol condominium, which had been rented under a false name.

Aside from the drug operation, the barely furnished condo had only a table, chairs and television.

Initially, the brothers paid workers $20 an hour and even maintained time cards, Sheriff Beth said.
But they later discovered they could maximize profits by paying workers 30 cents per cartridge filled, according to Beth.
The filled cartridges were packaged in brightly colored boxes touting the names of fruit or candy flavors.
‘It looks like candy in these vaping cigarettes. It’s not candy, it’s highly potent drugs,’ said Beth.
A simultaneous raid was conducted on the Huffhines home in nearby Paddock Lake, where the brothers lived with their mother and grandfather.
Inside that home, police recovered $59,000 in cash and eight firearms and ammunition.
Also found were nine cell phones, 0.6 Grams of cocaine, 10.6 grams of marijuana, and nine Xanax pills.
In a report this week, the Centers for Disease Control said that six have died and at least 380 have been severely sickened from vaping-related illness.
In nearly all cases, patients reported using THC vape cartridges before falling ill, though a few said they only used nicotine e-cigarettes, the CDC said..
