Late Night Chaos: Shawano PD Responds to Suspicious Cars, Street Incidents, and Hospital Threats” turned into a busy and bizarre day for Shawano police, with over 40 calls ranging from minor fender benders to serious threats at the local hospital. Shortly after midnight, officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle at the Odisha House of Rest. A car parked in the lot was seen with people inside “lighting something,” according to the caller. Officers cleared the scene with no charges. Around 1:30 a.m., emergency responders were called to E Division and South Andrews where an intoxicated man was found unconscious on a sidewalk after reportedly hitting his head. He was transported for medical care. Less than an hour later, a welfare check on Smalley Street revealed a woman carrying a cat in her purse and reportedly slamming it on the ground. Police intervened, and animal welfare was contacted. At 3 a.m., ThedaCare Medical Center requested police after a patient began threatening staff. Officers calmed the man and no charges were filed. By sunrise, reports turned more unusual—officers responded to a lewd behavior complaint involving a couple reportedly having sex in a truck outside Shawano Estates. Other notable incidents include a shoplifting report at Goodwill, a disturbance involving neighbors and aggressive dogs, and several reckless driving complaints on local highways. No injuries were reported in most incidents, but Shawano PD reminds the public to call 911 for suspicious or dangerous behavior.
Clintonville police responded to a steady stream of calls on Monday, with officers conducting multiple extra patrols and business checks throughout the early morning hours — including stops at Pickerel Point Playground, Picnic Point, and several locations along 7th Street and Green Tree Road. Three ambulance calls came in — one just after 4 a.m. on 7th Street, another mid-morning on East 14th, and a third late afternoon on 16th Street. Officers were also called to investigate suspicious activity, including a vehicle on Flora Way and a person spotted on East 2nd Street. Several animal-related calls came in as well — including reports of neglect on Bennett Street and a nuisance complaint on Flora Circle. Traffic enforcement was active, with at least eight stops recorded — mainly along Main Street and Green Tree Road. A car-versus-deer crash was also reported on North 12th Street. Mutual aid was provided twice, including a late-night call on East Main Street. Police remind residents to report any suspicious activity
It was a busy Monday for the Shawano County Sheriff’s Office, with more than two dozen incidents logged across the region. It started early with a car vs. deer crash just after 4 a.m. on Highway 29 near Leopolis, followed by multiple traffic hazards, including a ladder in the roadway and large chunks of broken pavement near Shawano, both creating dangerous driving conditions. At 6:25 a.m., deputies were called to Bowler for a disturbance involving a woman at a residence on Putnam Lane. The situation was resolved without arrests. Throughout the morning and into the afternoon, reckless driving reports poured in from across the county — including incidents on Highway 29, Highway 156, and near Cecil, with several drivers reported swerving or nodding off behind the wheel. Deputies also handled a string of 911 calls, some from malfunctioning phones, and responded to multiple animal welfare concerns. One call reported a bull steer tied up in the sun, while another raised concerns about a horse left without water. In Wittenberg, a suspicious 911 hang-up and a disabled vehicle on County Q capped off a day filled with unpredictable calls. And finally, over in Bowler, Stockbridge-Munsee police reported their own deer crash — this time involving a squad car. No injuries, but some damage to the vehicle. Authorities remind drivers to stay alert on the roads and report hazards or suspicious activity by calling 911.
