Local Law Enforcement Activity – April 16
SHAWANO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
The Shawano County Sheriff’s Office responded to about 40 incidents across the county Thursday, ranging from 911 calls and crashes to animal complaints, road issues and drug arrests.
Deputies handled several 911 calls throughout the day and overnight, including abandoned or open-line calls in Bonduel, Navarino, Bowler and other parts of the county.
One of the morning’s early incidents included a reckless driving report on Highway 29 near mile marker 231. Deputies also responded to a road closure near Shawano Avenue and Edwards Street by the dam after a large washout created a dangerous hole along the shoulder.
Traffic and roadway issues continued through the day. Deputies dealt with a traffic hazard on County Road N in the Birnamwood area after a farm truck blocked the roadway while pumping manure without a flag person. Two separate crashes were reported later in the afternoon, including one at Highway 22 and Rose Brook Road and another at Highway 45 and Bluebird Road.
Animal calls kept deputies busy as well. A delivery driver was bitten by a dog in the Bonduel area, another report involved a loose and aggressive dog near Ho-Chunk Road in Wittenberg, and a second dog-bite incident was reported later in the afternoon. Deputies also handled a barking dog complaint in Marion.
Several calls involved public safety and welfare concerns. Deputies conducted a welfare check in the Pulaski area after a caregiver reported suicidal comments. Deputies also assisted fire crews near Maple Road and Silver Creek Road and helped with a medical alarm in Bowler where a man reported his throat was closing.
Other calls included a vehicle lockout in Bonduel, a UTV repossession in Shawano, a property damage complaint involving water pumped into a ditch that damaged a roadway near Pulaski, a trespassing complaint in Aniwa, and suspicious activity reported in Birnamwood.
Drug activity led to multiple incidents in the evening. Deputies located drug paraphernalia during one call and later made an arrest following a traffic stop that resulted in suspected methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and a felony bail-jumping charge.
The evening ended with additional 911 calls, disturbance reports in Bowler and Gresham, and an OWI arrest near North Genesee Street and Westgor Avenue in the Village of Wittenberg.
