The Portage Co. Sheriff’s Office is looking for Winston L. Wilson.

A criminal warrant for Wilson, 39, was issued in 2013 when he missed an appearance in Portage Co. Circuit Court. His last known address was in Faribault, Minn.

Wilson was charged in November 2012 with second-degree recklessly endangering safety and manufacturing/delivering heroin, second offense. Both counts include a habitual criminality modifier, which could add additional time to any sentence he receives if he is convicted.
