The day started just after midnight when a woman on Moh He Con Nuck Road turned herself in on a warrant, saying she missed a court date and had no ride to jail.
Shortly after, deputies responded to Pulaski, where a wounded deer was blocking a lane of traffic. Initially reported dead, the deer was still alive and had to be put down.
Harassment reports came from the jail, involving a no-contact order violation through letters. And in the early morning hours, a disturbance in Gresham led to deputies intervening in a domestic argument with a man pounding on a door and refusing to leave.
One of the more serious calls came from Shiocton, where a partial box of dynamite was found in a game farm’s basement during cleanup efforts. Authorities responded quickly to secure the area.
Throughout the day, deputies assisted in multiple fire-related calls, including a small grass fire near Leopolis and a residential call in Tigerton.
A pair of reckless driving complaints came in—one involving a driver speeding through Tigerton, and another near Highway 29. A report of a turkey collision with a pickup truck also made the log after it damaged the vehicle’s radiator.
Deputies also handled welfare checks, abandoned vehicles, and several 911 hang-up calls. One report led to the discovery of street signs found on private land, possibly stolen.
Later in the day, a dog bite in Shawano sent one person to the ER, described as a “really bad attack.” And late Wednesday night, a harassment complaint alleged threats and defamatory messages sent by a family member’s ex.
