Shawano police responded to over two dozen incidents yesterday, ranging from juvenile drinking to welfare checks and suspicious activity.

One of the day’s most resource-heavy calls came from a gas station at 404 East Green Bay Street. Staff reported smoke coming from the ceiling. Multiple fire units responded and remained on scene for over an hour. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries.
Officers also responded to several welfare checks involving a homeless woman, who was seen at various locations throughout the day—reportedly acting erratically near Memorial Park.
Other notable calls included reckless driving on South Main Street, a suspicious vehicle outside the Odisha House of Rest, and a man reportedly passed out on the sidewalk with a head injury near East Division Street.
