Court records show that in March and April 2024, agents with the Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group and Manitowoc County Drug Task Force used informants to make four controlled buys of methamphetamine from Xiong.

Agents arrested Xiong and searched his residence in Neenah on May 16, 2024, finding a loaded 9mm pistol and a box of ammunition.

At the time of his drug trafficking and firearm possession, Xiong had prior felony convictions in Outagamie and Brown Counties for aggravated battery, soliciting a child to participate in gang activity, possessing amphetamine with intent to distribute, and bail jumping.

Xiong was on extended supervision in Wisconsin at the time of his offenses, which authorities revoked, returning him to state prison. Judge Griesbach ordered Xiong’s federal prison term to run consecutively to his state prison time.

The Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group Drug Unit, the Manitowoc County Drug Task Force, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Wisconsin Department of Justice—Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration investigated the case.
