In Shawano, it was a busy Sunday for local law enforcement, with a wide range of incidents keeping officers on the move.
Early in the morning, Shawano officers assisted the Menominee Tribal Police with an uncooperative patient at ThedaCare Medical Center. That incident was quickly followed by a welfare check on South Lafayette Street, where a man reported his girlfriend may have overdosed on painkillers. Emergency crews responded and remained on scene for nearly an hour.
Later that morning, police responded to a car lockout near Lincoln School Apartments and then took a theft report from Memorial Park involving a woman. Officers also checked on an elderly man after a fall alert was triggered by a Lifeline device—he was located and assisted.
Another welfare check was requested by a concerned mother in Neenah, worried about her ex-husband’s behavior in Shawano. In a separate call, a DoorDash delivery turned into a theft report when a neighbor allegedly took an order and refused to answer the door.
One of the more serious calls came at 6:19 PM, when police were dispatched to a residence on Acorn Street for a death investigation. Multiple units, including emergency medical personnel, responded and remained on scene for over an hour and a half.
Other calls throughout the day included a suspected shoplifter at a local convenience store, a report of drug activity in Franklin Park, and an attempt to locate a possibly intoxicated driver heading south on Highway 47-55.
Police also addressed a pothole creating a traffic hazard, and a group of men dressed in black reportedly discharging a firearm near Kuckuk Park late Sunday night.
And just before 1 AM Monday, officers responded to a noise complaint on East Maurer Street, where a large group was found having a bonfire with loud music.
