The Shawano Police Department had a busy weekend, responding to a range of incidents, from threats involving firearms to public lewdness and reckless driving.
Around 11 a.m., officers responded to a serious threat on South Bartlett Street, where a man allegedly claimed to have a hidden gun and made violent threats toward a woman and her property.

Later in the day, a disturbing call came from Memorial Park. Witnesses reported a man engaging in lewd behavior at a public pavilion.

Elsewhere in the city, police responded to two separate reckless driving incidents, including one on South River Street involving two cars reportedly chasing and trying to strike each other. Another case on South Union Street later that evening involved an anonymous caller reporting dangerous driving. Officers are continuing their investigation into both incidents.
