Shawano Police responded to a variety of calls throughout the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.
The day began early at ThedaCare Medical Center, where staff reported concerns about several individuals preparing to leave the hospital while under the influence. Officers arrived within minutes to monitor the situation and ensure no impaired driving occurred.
Just after sunrise, officers assisted with traffic control for the annual Turkey Trot in downtown Shawano.
Later in the morning, police were called to an apartment building on East Richmond Street after a strong odor was reported in the hallway. Officers determined the smell was coming from garbage left outside a neighboring unit, and the tenant was advised to remove it.
Multiple noise complaints came in from the area around Sturgeon Park, with callers reporting loud rumbling powerful enough to shake nearby homes.
In the afternoon, police and fire crews responded to a call on South Sawyer Street. Several fire units and city utilities arrived to assist, and the scene was cleared after about 30 minutes.
A short time later, officers assisted other agencies after reports that a blue SUV struck a pole on Upper Red Lake Road before continuing down the roadway. Units located the vehicle around a bend near a guardrail and worked to investigate the crash.
By early evening, officers helped retrieve a bicycle reported stolen months earlier after the owner was contacted online by someone who located it. Police also performed a welfare check for a resident concerned about a family member locked inside a bedroom and not responding.
Other calls included a pair of vehicle lockouts—one with the engine still running—and a late-night traffic stop involving a driver operating after revocation.
Clintonville Police handled a steady series of calls throughout Thursday, beginning with several overnight business checks along Industrial Avenue, Summer Street, and Industrial Court. All locations were found secure, also officers conducted extra patrols across neighborhood streets, including 20th Street, Brent Street, and Anne Street, as part of routine holiday coverage.
Just before eight, police responded to an alarm on South Main Street. No issues were reported once officers arrived and cleared the property.
A family-related call came in shortly after 8:30 on East Morning Glory Drive, followed late in the morning by a hit-and-run on West Madison Street. Police are continuing to look into the incident.
In the early afternoon, Clintonville units assisted another agency near Highway 45 and County Highway N, followed shortly by mutual aid support on Lakeshore Road.

The day wrapped up with a late-night suspicious person report on North Main Street.
The Shawano County Sheriff’s Office responded to a steady series of incidents throughout Thanksgiving Day, beginning just after midnight with a property-damage crash at Highway 29 and Highway 160 near Pulaski. No injuries were reported.
A short time later, deputies were called to North Airport Drive for reckless driving after witnesses reported several trucks doing donuts in a parking lot. The vehicles left the area after deputies arrived.
Deputies also conducted two welfare checks overnight, including a medical alert activation where responders were unable to make immediate contact with the caller, and another involving a neighbor concerned about unusual behavior at a lakeside condo complex.
Late in the morning, deputies investigated an abandoned vehicle on Poplar Road and assisted another agency after a suspicious vehicle was reported outside an assisted living facility.
Around midday, deputies were called twice for trespassing complaints—one in Cecil involving someone seen on home security cameras, and another in the Shawano area related to a family dispute.
Through the afternoon and evening, deputies handled several more traffic-related incidents, including two non-injury crashes near mile marker 208 on Highway 29. In both cases, vehicles ended up in the median without serious harm.
Later in the evening, deputies assisted with multiple abandoned 911 calls traced to a tower site, responded to a suspicious-person report on Warrington Avenue in Cecil, and cleared a late-night security alarm at the Veterans Office in Shawano.
