todayAugust 4, 2017

WFDL news has learned that two Wisconsin Department of Corrections wardens were suspended for poaching walleye on Lake Erie.  Records obtained from the state show that Columbia prison warden, Mike Dittman, and Green Bay Correctional deputy warden, Steve Schueler, each received a three day suspension without pay for violating department standards of employee conduct.  Dittman, Schueler  and four retired former wardens and a sergeant were cited in May for multiple trips…catching the  walleye limit, leaving, and catching more fish later in the day.   They all were fined and lose their fishing privileges in Ohio and Wisconsin for a year.  An Ohio judge imposed and stayed a ten day jail sentence.
