The day began quietly with a report on Pine St just after midnight, followed by a subsequent self-initiated activity by Unit 1242 on the same street at 5:05 AM. As the city woke up, a 911 hang-up call was received from Flight Rd at 8:15 AM, though no emergency was noted. Late morning brought a more serious matter when an abuse or neglect report was filed on Graham Ave at 11:25 AM, resulting in a formal report (26-00000206). Shortly after noon, officers were dispatched to the Walmart on State Rd 64 to assist with a vehicle lockout; a trucking company employee had accidentally locked the keys inside a car while preparing to pick it up. The afternoon included two welfare checks on 5th Ave starting at 4:24 PM. Earlier in the day, a civil standby was requested to help a party retrieve property from a residence, with the parties meeting officers on foot.
In the early hours, Unit 1242 was active with a bank deposit at CoVantage Drive Thru on 6th Ave at 1:09 AM, followed quickly by a traffic stop at the intersection of Neva Rd and Willard Ave at 1:18 AM where a verbal warning (VW) was issued for failing to dim high beams. At 1:49 AM, a home check request was completed with everything appearing "10-2," meaning the officer and location were okay. Routine business checks continued through 1:57 AM, and at 2:49 AM, Unit 099 investigated suspicious activity involving an unoccupied and secure vehicle. Just before dawn, at 5:28 AM, a traffic stop at 6th Ave and Superior St resulted in a written warning (WW) for speeding and failing to carry a driver's license. The evening saw more significant incidents, including a property damage accident at 5:53 PM involving two vehicles at the Walgreens on Neva Rd; fortunately, there were no injuries and both cars remained drivable. The night concluded with a retail theft report on Neva Rd at 8:23 PM and a final home check at 9:41 PM that was cleared as 10-2.
The early morning followed a familiar pattern with a bank deposit at 1:44 AM and a home check at 2:03 AM that appeared 10-2. A traffic stop was conducted at N. Superior St and Badger Ave at 2:08 AM. As the morning progressed, an NCIC check was performed at 5:32 AM, and a follow-up investigation at 6:18 AM led to a subject being taken into custody by 6:35 AM. Later, at 8:31 AM, officers assisted a citizen at the McDonald's on Neva Rd. The afternoon involved an animal complaint at 2:39 PM regarding a wandering dog that was nearly hit by a vehicle. The day ended with a few miscellaneous calls, including a 911 hang-up at 6:32 PM where the caller confirmed it was an accidental dial, an intoxicated subject report at 6:57 PM, and a disorderly conduct call at 7:18 PM.
The weekend started with routine checks: a bank deposit at CoVantage at 12:18 AM, a home check at 12:27 AM (cleared 10-2), and a business walk-through by Units 090 and 099 at 12:48 AM. After an NCIC check at 2:15 AM and a business check at 2:21 AM, officers assisted another agency at 3:47 AM. Sunrise brought more activity, including a traffic stop at 7:36 AM at the corner of Forrest Rd and S. Superior St for defective brake lights, which resulted in a verbal warning. Morning calls also included an information report at 8:37 AM and an alarm at 9:13 AM that was cleared as 10-2. The logs for this period conclude with a mental health call at 9:43 AM and a welfare check at 9:35 AM.
The day began with early morning property checks in the town of Antigo (AN-tih-goh), where deputies found everything 10-2 (signal good/okay) with no signs of intruders at residences on County Rd X and Neffswitch Rd. Nature called for intervention at US 45 and County Rd A in Neva (NEE-vuh), where a deer had been hit but remained alive in the northbound lane. A more distressing animal complaint arose on County Rd G in Rolling (ROLL), where a neighbor's dogs were caught chasing cattle and had unfortunately killed a calf; one dog was secured while the other fled. In Summit (SUML), a resident reported criminal damage to a mailbox on 1st Ave, which appeared to have been struck by gunshots within the last two weeks.
Midday brought a report of suspicious activity on Polar (POH-luhr) Rd, where a male in a blueish-grey GMC truck was spotted watching a house. When contacted by a deputy, the driver claimed he was simply driving by to check on the place and looking for a horse-shoeing business. As evening fell, deputies responded to a burglary on Badger Tr at Badger Ranch Rd in Wolf River (WOLL), discovering a truck and trailer at a cabin with broken windows and open doors.
Law enforcement activity on Thursday was marked by domestic disturbances and unusual calls. In Upham (YOU-fam), a deputy responded to Merlin St for a domestic dispute involving an emotional female who had been in a physical fight; the situation eventually required a transport. Later that afternoon, another domestic dispute was reported at the intersection of US 45 and County Rd G, where occupants of a white Cadillac sedan were seen fighting before driving away.
In a bizarre report from Wolf River (WOLL), a worker on State Rd 64 received a strange phone call from a male who eventually began asking for the caller's socks. Accidental calls also kept dispatchers busy; a resident on County Rd AA in Antigo (AN-tih-goh) accidentally triggered a 911 hang-up while telling her husband they should watch the show Emergency. The night concluded with traffic complaints, including a maroon Sorento swerving near Now Rd and a report of a male walking in the middle of the road at County Rd Y and County Rd HH in Ackley (ACKL).
Friday saw a high volume of traffic enforcement and civil disputes. VW (Verbal Warnings) for speed and registration were issued throughout the day at locations including US 45 and County Rd N , and US 45 at Industrial Park Rd. A civil matter regarding the distribution of lumber was reported after the passing of a local resident , and on Cole St in Elcho (EL-koh), a resident requested an officer regarding a niece whose behavior was becoming increasingly aggressive.
The day also included several roadside assists and animal reports. A vehicle hit a deer on State Rd 55 and Wolf Rd , while another deer was reported alive but stuck in a ditch at State Rd 64 and W 5th Ave. A controlled burn was monitored on County Rd S in Polar (POH-luhr) , and a 911 hang-up on Violet Way was confirmed to be accidental and 10-2.
The weekend began with a traffic complaint involving passengers hanging out the windows of a red Chevy Equinox on US 45. In Langlade (LANG-layd), a gas drive-off totaling $90.37 was reported at a station on State Rd 55. A private investigator notified the office they would be operating a grey Toyota Sienna in the area of Old E Rd for several hours.
Suspicious activity peaked late at night on State Rd 55 when a homeowner reported a snowmobile stopping near a treeline; the caller feared the occupants were entering the woods to plan a break-in. Additional safety concerns were raised regarding a school bus on State Rd 64 and Roehrig Rd, which was reportedly speeding and passing other vehicles in no-passing zones. The night ended with the removal of a deer carcass from State Rd 55 and Lost Lake Rd.
Property damage was the focus of Sunday morning on S Pratt Rd in the Village (VILL) of Post Lake, where a snowmobile reportedly intentionally ran over trees on a resident's property. In Antigo (AN-tih-goh), a resident who had locked their keys inside their home on Superior St eventually managed to gain entry through a cellar door, canceling the need for an officer.
Traffic stops remained steady, with a VW for speed issued at County Rd K and Lost Lake Rd , and two more warnings given near the intersection of State Rd 64 and Ackley (ACKL) Rd—one for speed and another for defective trailer lights. Property checks on Pickerel Lake Rd remained secure with no movement observed.
Early Monday morning, a passerby reported a deer was still alive after being hit on State Rd 55 near Sawyer Lake Rd; the assignment was marked 10-24 (completed) after deputies responded. In Elcho (EL-koh), a blue Honda Elantra with a missing rear tire was found on County Rd K and tagged for removal.
An animal complaint on Spring Rd in Ackley (ACKL) involved a malnourished and neglected dog that had wandered onto a property; the responding deputy was eventually able to coordinate the return of the dog to its owner. Business and property checks continued throughout the day on County Rd X and County Rd T to ensure local sites remained secure.
The reporting period concluded with a mix of road hazards and traffic enforcement. Just after midnight, debris was found blocking the road at US 45 and Valley Vista Rd in Rolling (ROLL). A home check on County Rd X noted that while the property was dark and secure, a new yard sign had been placed at the end of the driveway. Early morning traffic stops resulted in VWs for a defective headlight on US 45 and another for speed and failing to provide proof of insurance.
