todayFebruary 18, 2015

A former Waupun police lieutenant has admitted to nearly 60 burglaries across the state.  Former Waupun police officer Brad Young appeared in Green Lake County Circuit Court Tuesday and entered no contest pleas to burglaries in seven counties including Fond du lac, Dodge and Green Lake.  As part of a plea agreement prosecutors have agreed to charge Young with one count of burglary in each county and recommend 10 years in prison.  Each felony count carries a maximum penalty of more than 12 years in prison. Young was arrested in August of 2013 following an alleged multi-county crime spree and subsequent high speed chase in northern Wisconsin.  According to a criminal complaint Young told investigators he committed the crimes due to financial issues which included gambling.
