Shawano police handled a wide range of calls from arrests, school incidents, and a reported scam involving gift cards.
Just after midnight, officers responded to a bail jumping complaint on East Center Street after a caller reported a woman believed to be intoxicated and possibly violating bond conditions. That case remains active.
Later in the morning, police investigated a reported scam at Community Alternatives on South Main Street. Authorities say an employee was tricked by an email posing as a supervisor and purchased eight 200-dollar gift cards, sending the card numbers to the scammer. Police remind the public that legitimate employers will never request gift cards by email.
Officers were also called to a Kwik Trip on East Green Bay Street for a trespassing complaint, and to several incidents at Shawano Community High School involving juvenile and tobacco-related issues.
Additional calls included a hit-and-run vehicle damage report near Aldi’s, welfare checks, vehicle lockouts, and multiple 911 hang-up calls that were checked and cleared.
