Mother, Daughter Charged After Selling Pills to Undercover Police

A Port Washington mother and her daughter are facing charges after they were caught selling Oxycodone pills to undercover police from August through November.

Tania Wiedenhoeft, 40, and Ariana S. Wiedenhoeft, 19, were charged in Ozaukee County Circuit Court on Tuesday with five total counts of delivery of a controlled narcotic. If convicted, Tania could face up to 60 years in prison and Ariana could face up to 15 years in prison.

According to the criminal complaint:

An undercover police officer set up a drug deal with Tania Wiedenhoeft in August where she agreed to sell him 40 Oxycodone pills for $440 in the parking lot of a Grafton department store.

They then met at the parking lot where Ariana Wiedenhoeft got out of a car and met the officer, told him she was Tania’s daughter and conducted the deal.

In September, October and November, Tania Wiedenhoeft again sold Oxycodone pills to the undercover police officers in Grafton, Saukville and Port Washington. On each occasion she sold at least 40 pills to the officer.

Both are currently being held in county jail on cash bail while awaiting trial; they are both set to appear in court at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
