The following narrative outlines local law enforcement activity across Langlade County, synthesized chronologically from dispatch logs and deputy reports. Routine operations, traffic stops, unexpected civilian encounters, and unusual neighborhood disturbances are captured using localized dispatch communication standards.
Wednesday, May 27, 2026
The day commenced just after midnight with Unit 099 initiating a routine park patrol at Castle Park on 440 Field Street. Shortly thereafter, the same unit executed a traffic stop at the Kwik Trip on 815 S. Superior Street, issuing a verbal warning to a motorist for an altered exhaust system. As the early morning unfolded, Unit 1242 stepped in to assist a citizen near the intersection of Smith Avenue and Nantasket Street , followed by an information log shortly before 2:00 AM. Sunrise saw Unit 099 checking the beat around Clermont Street and 5th Avenue , later monitoring a secure bank deposit at the CoVantage drive-thru on 6th Avenue.
The morning shift quickened when the Highway Department requested a complete road closure on County Road F, blocking the stretch between Parkway Road and Suburban Acres ; the road was successfully cleared and reopened by mid-morning. Simultaneously, traffic was briefly impeded at State Road 64 and Zima Road due to a deer carcass on the roadway, which Unit 449 quickly moved off the pavement. Farther into town, Unit 099 responded to a probation and parole request at 2124 Clermont Street, successfully taking a subject into custody on a probation hold.
Civil matters and regulatory tasks occupied the afternoon. Unit 079 handled a dispute regarding a former tenant who had left belongings behind but promised to return them once retrieved from storage. On Sunnyside Road, a resident requested a deputy to measure a boat for a new DNR title , while Unit 439 resolved a standard vehicle lockout on US 45, wrapping up the assignment successfully. A 911 open-line hang-up on County Road CC revealed nothing more than normal background conversation. A more complex civil issue arose on Oak Road, where Clark’s Auto requested assistance recovering a loaner vehicle that a customer had kept for weeks without paying for repairs; the individual was advised to return the vehicle by June 1st.
Late-afternoon traffic enforcement yielded a series of verbal warnings. Unit 092 issued warnings for seatbelt violations on the 1700 block of Charlotte Street , and Unit 439 warned a driver for speeding at Neva Road and Washington Avenue. Meanwhile, Unit 098 flagged a vehicle at Neva Road and Kaplanek Avenue for a severely cracked windshield.
The evening turned investigative when Unit 432 responded to the Clermont Street lobby. A citizen reported spotting a distinctive garden planter on Maple Road that matched the description of one stolen from them the previous year ; an inspection confirmed it was the exact same model. At 7:58 PM, a high-priority domestic disturbance call sent Unit 3415 to County Road H, where neighbors reported a heated argument and distinct cries for help. Shortly after, a severe car-vs.-deer collision occurred on State Road 64. The impact left a black 2019 Jeep Cherokee smoking and leaking heavy fluids; Unit 432 cleared the dead deer while a flatbed was called to haul the wreckage away.
The night concluded with unique encounters: Unit 3413 checked on a Ram truck hauling a camper on Fifth Avenue Road, confirming the occupant had valid permission to park while working on a new trail. Finally, at 10:07 PM, a suspicious vehicle call at Polar Road and Rabe Lane turned out to be an avid midnight fisherman who admitted he frequently drives around at night and was simply confused by nearby campers.
Thursday, May 28, 2026
In the quiet post-midnight hours, a suspicious activity report on Jerome Street involving a box truck and flashlights near a building caused brief concern ; responding officers found everything was fine, as it was simply a crew power-washing the sidewalks. A short time later, a citizen on 10th Avenue reported a stray medium-sized dog , but the animal’s owner arrived down the street to retrieve it before enforcement was required. Routine morning beats swept through Langlade Road and Bissell Street.
Animal hazards re-emerged at 8:00 AM when a driver struck a deer on County Road K, miles west of State Road 55. The deer fled into the brush, and the motorist chose to complete an online report. At 8:46 AM, an emergency call regarding an unknown trespasser walking onto a property on County Road S was quickly defused when the "intruder" was identified as the local county transit bus. Traffic safety calls peaked when a motorist reported a white Jeep swerving erratically northbound on US 45 near County Road B; Unit 439 checked the entire stretch of highway up to the county line but was unable to locate the vehicle.
A burglary call at a residence on 5th Avenue triggered a swift response from Unit 090. Callers reported individuals propping ladders against the house and attempting to pull out an air conditioning unit ; upon arrival, the officer confirmed it was a legitimate maintenance crew completing authorized remodeling work. Nearby, Unit 079 provided a citizen escort for a resident recovering personal belongings on Clermont Street.
Midday 911 hang-ups tested dispatch tracking. A dropped call from an open line on Orchard Road led Unit 439 to a ginseng field. Because the dense agricultural fencing blocked the view, the property owner assisted the deputy, eventually locating a pickup truck parked harmlessly in the northeast corner of the field. Another VOIP-generated 911 call from County Line Road experienced severe connection issues, though it was eventually confirmed to be an accidental pocket dial from a local farm worker.
The afternoon brought minor property accidents, including a two-vehicle fender bender involving a black Dodge Journey on Superior Street , and another collision at Pierce Avenue and Clermont Street where Unit 097 assisted with traffic control. At 4:44 PM, an ongoing neighborhood feud on 10th Avenue escalated when a resident reported that a neighbor's dog ran onto her property and attempted to bite her.
As night fell, severe deer collisions resumed. A motorist on County Road M filed an online report after an animal strike , while a much more violent crash occurred at 9:24 PM on US 45 near County Road D. A white Hyundai Sonata struck a deer and careened off the road into the ditch. Unit 3415 arrived to transport the uninjured occupants, and Kegler’s Towing removed the heavily damaged sedan.
The day wrapped up with a string of fraud reports. One citizen lost a substantial sum after being tricked into purchasing gift cards , another reported a costly internet scam , and a third resident on Gruber Street narrowingly avoided financial loss during a phishing attempt and was provided with a fraud prevention brochure.
Friday, May 29, 2026
Fridays are typically busy, and this day began immediately with traffic stops. Unit 090 issued verbal warnings for defective tail lights on 3rd Avenue and Dorr Street at 12:30 AM , and again at 1:28 AM on Neva Road. At 2:41 AM, a sharp-eyed officer noticed a subject running down 9th Avenue toward Field Street. Units 090 and 099 heavily saturated and spotlighted the neighborhood but were unable to locate anyone or find any disturbed vehicles. Later that morning, Unit 3415 issued a written warning for a suspended license on County Road O , while Unit 449 issued a verbal warning for speed on County Road C. At 8:39 AM, Unit 086 executed a Department of Corrections warrant on Clermont Street, taking a subject into custody without incident.
Violence and theft marked the late morning hours. At 10:34 AM, a terrifying animal bite report came in from Price-Polar Road. A pedestrian walking down the road was suddenly ambushed and attacked by a loose group of dogs. The dogs broke the victim's skin before the owner managed to contain them. The victim declined immediate medical attention but requested deputy assistance to verify if the animals were vaccinated. Minutes later on Antigo Street, a female walked into the lobby to report a domestic incident connected to an ongoing prior case. In the afternoon, Unit 439 investigated a theft on Dorr Street, finding that an unknown suspect had attempted to steal a "Music in the Park" sign, leaving it heavily damaged and dangling from a single post.
Emergency medical assistance was requested on Hillside Road at 2:43 PM, where a young man fell approximately five feet off a ladder, striking his head directly on concrete and suffering severe bleeding.
The late afternoon brought severe traffic complaints. Unit 097 searched for a Volkswagen Jetta reportedly weaving through town at 70 mph , and Unit 431 hunted for a black silver Silverado swerving into the gravel shoulders on State Road 64 near Bolen Road. While the Silverado eluded police, Unit 431 did manage to stop another vehicle at that exact intersection for speeding.
Crime spiked at 6:55 PM on Edison Street when an alert neighbor reported a male suspect smoking a cigarette and actively trying to break into a home across the street. Unit 090 and 097 arrived rapidly, securing the perimeter and taking the suspect into custody right outside the front door.
Noise and neighborhood friction dominated the late hours. A dog barking incessantly on Balsam Street ceased just as Unit 090 arrived, resulting in an apology from the owner. At 10:05 PM, Unit 090 issued a citation for unnecessary acceleration during a traffic stop on Dorr Street. Shortly after, residents at Charlotte Court complained of blaring music, which responding officers determined was actually drifting from a live band performing at the Langlade County Fairgrounds. The night closed out with a call regarding a silver Silverado tearing up the grass and driving on the sidewalks of an apartment complex. Although the caller captured the reckless driving on video, the vehicle had fled, and the grounds were peaceful when officers arrived.
Saturday, May 30, 2026
The early hours saw routine assistance on 10th Avenue , followed by an immediate hang-up on Nantasket Street and a subsequent mental health welfare check on the same roadway. By 4:00 AM, Unit 090 completed a security beat at the Aspirus Langlade Hospital on E. 5th Avenue.
At 9:32 AM, a highly unusual traffic complaint came from State Road 64 and Roehrig Road. A concerned motorist reported seeing a young boy, roughly 10 years old, running down the highway looking highly distressed, closely pursued by two older males. Strangely, all three were wearing formal dress clothes and no vehicles were nearby. Unit 439 rushed to the area and intercepted the group, laughing as he discovered they were all adults simply participating in a local half-marathon.
The rest of the afternoon involved civil and minor criminal complaints. A citizen reported losing a substantial sum of money to a contractor , while Unit 439 investigated a trespass issue on Grudgeville Road involving a woman demanding her uncle be legally banned from her property. On State Road 64, Unit 439 recovered a discarded syringe in a ditch near Pioneer Road. Later that afternoon, Unit 094 disposed of two additional hypodermic needles found along the roadway at Avenue and Deleglise Street.
Parking complaints heavily restricted traffic on Kaplanek Avenue , while standard vehicle lockouts were resolved at Pick 'N Save and Two Angels. On State Road 64, a worker reported that his vehicle had been vandalized in the company parking lot the day before. At 3:30 PM, a homeowner on State Road 64 reported seeing a white GMC SUV park on his property for twenty minutes on security footage; Unit 439 checked the residence, but the vehicle had already departed.
The evening turned back to traffic safety. Unit 439 flagged a large sinkhole forming on the west side of State Road 55 just before Wolf Road, prompting an emergency email to the Highway Department to erect barricades. In town, Unit 097 stopped a Jeep driving down 5th Avenue with its hazard lights flashing , and later assisted an owner in capturing two loose dogs running near 7th Avenue.
Reckless driving complaints surged after dark. A driver on Price-Polar Road was issued a verbal warning for speed and failing to provide proof of insurance. At 9:11 PM, a homeowner on E. 10th Avenue Road reported a vehicle repeatedly tearing past his house at an estimated 90 mph; Unit 3415 patrolled the area but was unable to locate it. Similar "unable to locate" results occurred after reports of a pedestrian walking down the center of the lane on County Road HH , four suspicious vehicles gathering at the Summit Town Hall , and a mid-size SUV driving completely in the wrong lane on State Road 52, nearly running a caller off the road. The night concluded at midnight when Unit 1242 executed a high-priority arrest for bail jumping on Clermont Street.
Sunday, May 31, 2026
The early morning hours began with strict traffic enforcement. Unit 1242 issued a citation on State Road 64 for loud and unnecessary noise originating from 5th Avenue , while Unit 090 issued a citation at North Avenue and Charlotte Street for failure to obey a traffic sign. Suspicious activity checks were completed at the Kwik Trip on State Road 64 , and a jail law request was filed at the Langlade County Jail.
Animal complaints disrupted the morning at 8:34 AM, when a loose dog was reported running frantically through traffic near McDonald’s and Culver's on Neva Road. Unit 1242 searched the commercial strip but was unable to track down the canine. Speed enforcement continued in the afternoon, with Unit 098 issuing a warning on Clermont Street before conducting a foot beat at Rainbow Laundry on 5th Avenue.
Property crimes and severe accidents highlighted the afternoon. On County Road H, a property owner reported that his garage, located just northwest of the town hall, had been broken into. On Clear Lake Road, a hit-and-run collision left a car bumper sitting in the middle of the roadway; Unit 429 tracked the striking vehicle to a nearby address but found no one answering the front door.
A much more critical hit-and-run occurred at 6:22 PM on County Road V. Patrons at a local establishment reported that a late-90s or early-2000s black Chevy truck careened into a ditch, violently smashed into a parked black 2011 Subaru Forester, and sped away south on Star Neva Road. The impact left severe front passenger-side bumper damage and shattered plastic littering the parking lot. Responding units coordinated quickly, and by 7:11 PM, Unit 443 successfully located the vehicle and took the driver into custody.
The day's tension extended into the evening with a 911 hang-up from a residential area that sounded like a group of mothers talking after a baseball game , followed immediately by an urgent gun or shooting call on County Road V. At 8:02 PM, a resident reported finding a lost black-and-white Boston Terrier/Pitbull mix near US 45 and Now Road ; the microchipped dog was safely housed until it could be reunited with its family across the county line. The weekend wound down with an accidental open-line call from an elderly couple talking about cleaning house , a late-night fireworks complaint regarding neighbors setting off mortars every night at 10:00 PM , and a final hospital security check.
Monday, June 1, 2026
The first day of June started with routine documentation and early morning traffic stops, including an animal complaint regarding a loose dog wandering near the local escape room on 6th Avenue , and a registration warning on Superior Street. At 7:54 AM, Unit 449 clocked a speeder at State Road 64 and Shadey Road, issuing a verbal warning.
The early afternoon logs remained administrative, noting several follow-up investigations by Unit 086 , a juvenile offense report , and an automated test information event generated by the Safety Building's scheduler. Lobby traffic included a citizen asking for legal clarification on personal restrictions, who was promptly advised to consult a private lawyer. Vehicle lockouts remained steady, with Unit 429 unlocking a running red Bronco on N. Summit Lane.
Dangerous traffic conditions surged between 3:40 PM and 6:00 PM. Unit 447 issued a warning to a tan Chevy Crossover on US 45 for failing to signal and drifting out of its lane. Shortly after, a high-priority call came in regarding a maroon Pontiac G6 swerving wildly over the centerline, driving at highly inconsistent speeds, and passing vehicles without any license plates near US 45 and Huggins Road. Units 431 and 447 flooded the area but were unable to locate the car. A similar complaint regarding a silver Volvo swerving on US 45 was followed by Unit 429, though no traffic violations were observed. Later, a deeply concerning report emerged from County Road V, where a motorist was observed driving erratically down the highway while actively holding a beer in his hand ; the driver eluded responding officers.
In town, Unit 097 responded to a parking complaint regarding a dog left inside a vehicle in a handicap spot with the windows barely cracked , but the vehicle departed before arrival. A structural hazard was handled on Arctic Street, where a power line snapped and hung barely a yard from the ground near pole 8, prompting an emergency repair response from WPS. Evening traffic stops included a verbal warning for an expired registration on Superior Street and a formal citation issued on Lincoln Street to a driver operating without a valid license.
The night grew intensely dramatic at 8:24 PM when a terrifying domestic call came from a residence on Pit Road. A female caller contacted dispatch, crying hysterically and whispering that she was terrified of a male subject on the property, before abruptly hanging up because "he was coming". Units 098, 092, and 3412 rushed to the scene to locate her vehicle. At 8:42 PM, as Unit 3412 pulled into the driveway, the suspect's vehicle suddenly shifted into reverse and aggressively attempted to ram the squad car. The deputy avoided the collision, swiftly moved in, and managed to safely detain the combative suspect by 9:16 PM.
The final disturbing incident occurred just before midnight on Kriewaldt Road. A horrified homeowner reported hearing the voices of two men and a young boy talking directly outside his window. When they walked away, the resident discovered they had left a dead animal sitting directly on his doorstep. The prowlers briefly returned a short time later, but a thorough area sweep by Unit 3412 found nothing out of the ordinary.
Tuesday, June 2, 2026
The eerie events on Kriewaldt Road bled into Tuesday morning. At 3:31 AM, the exact same resident called dispatch in a panic, stating he could see a red light and a figure standing outside holding a video camera. Whenever the homeowner went outside to confront the individual, the prowler vanished into the darkness. Unit 3412 scanned the rural property but found no active tracks.
The morning shift focused on community safety and infrastructure. Unit 360 logged an informational brief regarding scheduled fire alarm testing at the hospital on E. 5th Avenue. Traffic enforcement was requested at County Road HH and County Road G, where a grey Chevy Silverado blew directly through a stop sign before speeding westbound on State Road 64.
Midday requests involved several wildlife calls. Unit 429 was dispatched to County Road F and Meadow Road, where a deer had been struck by a vehicle and was struggling severely in a field; the deputy humanely dispatched the animal with a single shot. Less than an hour later, the same unit had to dispatch a second injured deer "flopping" near an agricultural irrigation pump farther down Road F, requiring two shots. In town, a smoke scare on Graham Ave near North Elementary was defused when Unit 360 confirmed the smoke rising from the storm drains was a standard application of lime by the Department of Public Works.
The evening hours returned to community care. Unit 503 recovered a lost iPhone in a Galaxy-style case at Graham Avenue and Clermont Street, safely returning it to its owner an hour later. At 8:22 PM, an anonymous caller reported an animal neglect case on State Road 64, claiming six coonhounds were being kept at an abandoned property and looked emaciated. Unit 3414 investigated and contacted the owner, who proved that he and his father visit the property to feed and water the healthy hunting dogs twice a day. The night concluded with minor traffic stops on State Road 55 and Willard Avenue, resulting in standard equipment and speed warnings.
Wednesday, June 3, 2026
The multi-day log concluded during the early morning hours with a final wildlife hazard at 6:51 AM. A driver on County Road A near Rocky Road struck a deer, which immediately fled into the woods. Unit 429 arrived to clear a small piece of vehicular debris from the lane, and the driver was cleared to file a standard online accident report.
