Aquanis M. Williams, a 37-year-old Milwaukee man, has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for trafficking drugs in Oshkosh, WI. Williams, also known as Pirate, was found guilty of distributing controlled substances, including methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine, in Oshkosh from January to May 2025.

According to court records, Williams was arrested on May 29, 2025, after a search of his residence yielded three firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, $4,500 in cash, 700 grams of methamphetamine, 100 grams of cocaine, and 27 grams of fentanyl. Williams admitted to possessing the firearms and controlled substances and stated that he planned to purchase one kilogram of fentanyl later that day.

Williams has a significant prior criminal record, including three prior convictions for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and a prior conviction for pointing a firearm at a law enforcement officer.

The case was investigated by the Oshkosh Police Department – Vice and Narcotics Unit, with assistance from the Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group – Drug Unit (LWAM), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Milwaukee Police Department, and North Central High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA). It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Alex Duros.

Williams will serve a 156-month sentence for distributing controlled substances in Oshkosh and possessing firearms as a convicted felon. The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Byron B. Conway on December 15, 2025.
