Kewaskum Police Chief Tom Bishop released a press release regarding an incident on Tuesday, November 25. It provides an explanation below.

"In an effort to get accurate information out to the public, I want to clarify a detail regarding the threat made toward Kewaskum High School and Middle School last Tuesday. The threat our department investigated was not a bomb threat. It was a threat to harm students with a firearm.

Fond du Lac is investigating the same suspect for bomb threats made in their city. Our posting of the Fond du Lac press release was intended to keep the community informed about related developments, and since most of the details were the same, it made sense to share one release.

I apologize for not being clear with this detail and for the confusion. Please be aware the suspect has been in custody in another county since he was arrested Tuesday and faces multiple charges in multiple jurisdictions.

More details will come out very soon once formal charges are filed with the Washington County District Attorney's Office which will take place this week."
