Five Antigo school employees were suspended after an investigation of the marijuana distribution ring in north-central Wisconsin, and it has now moved to Merrill schools.

John Lund, Antigo High School football coach and elementary school principal, was suspended after being charged for drug crimes related to the distribution ring. 

Peter Miller, retired athletic director, and substitute teacher, Anthony Crabb, both of Merill Area Public Schools, have both admitted to purchasing marijuana from the pot ring.  Miller admitted to buying pot from the distributor for 15 years.  They have not been charged, and were told by the Interim Superintendent Bruce Anderson their services are "not needed at this time."

Scott Schumacher, 30, of Kimberly, was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Friday after sexually assaulting a woman at a convenience store.

Schumacher sexually assaulted a woman at the Kwik Trip on Calumet Street in Appleton last May.  According to authorities, Schumacher was found after the incident in Buchanan with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  The sentencing was made at Outagamie County court.   

This was not the first crime Schumacher has committed, and police say he attempted to kidnap a woman in a separate incident.

Susan Bird-Winbun of Reedsburg is in the process of creating a domestic violence shelter and healing/rehabilitation program for abuse victims.  Bird-Winbun lost both of her children when her former boyfriend, David Yates, was convicted of killing her infant twins, Tyler and Susannah.

The name of the new organization is called the Fairy House Foundation.  According to Bird-Winbun, "We want to be more personalized and offer one-on-one services from beginning to end for our victims."  Teenage girls and woman make up the majority of her 25 clients.  They are still looking for a location in the Reedsburg, Baraboo, and Wisconsin Dells area to build a shelter for abuse victims.  

There is another organization similar to Fairy House Foundation for victims of domestic violence in the south central Wisconsin area called Hope House.  What's most important, according to Ellen Allen of Hope House, is "...to be very cautious about duplicating any services we offer in our small communities, because the funding is already stretched so much."

 Sage Ross, 18, of Cloquet, surrendered on Thursday night on charges of armed robbery as a party to a crime.

The court case dates back to a shooting that took place at 1627 1/2 Tower Avenue in September.  Rose could be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to forty years in prison if convicted.  She is accused of setting up the victim to be robbed at gunpoint through text messages.

According to Judicial Court Commissioner Rebecca Lovejoy in regards to Ross surrendering, "It does speak to her credibility to some extent that she turned herself in now. However, this crime was back from September 1st—a couple of months ago."

The preliminary hearing will be held on November 9.

If you or a loved one has been charged with armed robbery, it is important to have experienced representation to discuss your legal options and provide support.  Contact Appleton armed robbery defense lawyers of Kohler, Hart & Priebe at 414-271-9595 today.
