Repeat Offender Caught with Cocaine and Cash During Wisconsin Traffic Stop

A Wisconsin man already out on ten separate bonds is facing more legal trouble after police say they found him with a large amount of cocaine and cash during a traffic stop.

According to the Holmen Police Department, officers pulled over a vehicle near U.S. Highway 53 and Sylvester Road around 1:50 a.m. on Saturday. During a search of the vehicle, officers discovered approximately 170 grams — about one-third of a pound — of suspected cocaine, valued at roughly $17,000 on the street. Police also found $4,500 in cash.

The driver, identified as Mayking Murillo-Palacios, was arrested and booked into the La Crosse County Jail. He is now facing multiple charges, including:

  • Possession with Intent to Deliver Cocaine (over 40 grams)
  • Five counts of Felony Bail Jumping
  • Five counts of Misdemeanor Bail Jumping

Authorities say Murillo-Palacios was already out on ten separate bonds at the time of his arrest — five for felonies and five for misdemeanors. He was also charged with possession of cocaine in Monroe County in May 2025.

Following his latest arrest, Murillo-Palacios appeared before a La Crosse County Circuit Court judge on June 24 and was released on a $20,000 signature bond.

No further details have been released as the investigation continues.
