Drug trafficking charges for La Crosse woman, said to be dealing with infant nearby

Drug trafficking charges have been filed against a La Crosse woman, following an arrest this week. 

Anna Zierfus is accused of dealing meth to an informant at her north La Crosse home last December. 

Police say Zierfus’s 1-year-old child was nearby when the drug deal took place. 

Zierfus also reportedly has been found carrying meth twice in the past month.  Her bond has been set at $1,000 cash.  

In other court cases, a public defender is being appointed for a La Crosse man who’s accused of repeated sexual assaults against the same child. 

Vanin McKinnon was charged earlier this month with assaulting a young girl many times over a five-year period.  The assaults allegedly began in 2008. 

McKinnon is serving a prison sentence in Oshkosh for a previous case.     

Also, a suspect in a La Crosse shooting earlier this month is still trying to find a defense lawyer. 

Julius Lloyd is accused of shooting and wounding another person on Easter Sunday in a north La Crosse neighborhood, and he faces an attempted murder charge. 

Lloyd was arrested days after the shooting, during a traffic stop.  His next court appearance is scheduled in two weeks.
