A northwestern Wisconsin police chief has been placed on unpaid suspension for two weeks after being ticketed for illegally shooting a deer. The infraction came during Wisconsin’s bow hunting season. Chief Jared Zwiefelhofer was accused of using his department-issued A-R-style .223 caliber gun. The Bloomer Police Commission held a meeting to determine his fate Tuesday. The chief told commission members he believes he can still be an effective officer for the community.
