51-year-old Syliva Wapp has pleaded guilty to a felony charge of manufacturing/delivering Schedule I, II narcotics. Three other charges were dismissed.

In July, she was sentenced to serve three years in prison and three years extended supervision on that charge.

That sentence was stayed, and it was ordered that Sylvia Wapp serve three years probation. A condition of that probation is one year in jail.

Sylvia Wapp

Neighbors told FOX6 News people were constantly going in and out of the family's home on Oakdale Drive in Waukesha. Sharon Thims knew something was up, and her suspicions were confirmed when authorities showed up in full force.

"I opened the door and here is the SWAT Team and the Bomb Squad and there was an officer by my garage and up there and three unmarked squad cars," Thims said.

According to a criminal complaint issued in this case, a detective and a confidential informant went to the home on January 21st, 2015 and purchased morphine pills with pre-recorded currency on two separate occasions. That same day, the detective and confidential informant met Andrew Wapp III outside of a nearby Target store twice.

A surveillance team watched Andrew Wapp III leave the home and head to the store's parking lot, where he supposedly sold morphine pills to the detective and informant.

When authorities searched the home a few days later, they found four safes containing numerous pills, pill cutters and crushers, and a pipe for smoking marijuana that Jessica Wapp admitted belonged to her.

Jessica Wapp was hesitant to talk about the allegations. Records show her father indicated they were just trying to make ends meet.

"My parents have a lot of medical issues. They are sick and my dad is disabled -- so taking it a day at a time," Jessica Wapp said.

As for where all of the pills came from, Andrew Wapp III says he had an old prescription for the morphine pills, and he got others from his mother-in-law. Police say Sylvia Wapp admitted to buying pills from someone in Waukesha.
