The sheriff reports that Messer put his hand in his waistband as the sheriff pulled into the driveway. According to the police report, a female was trying to leave the residence and Messer wouldn’t let her leave. The female told officers that Messer “broke the table” after she confronted him about being drunk. She said Messer attempted to stop her when she tried to enter the house to get her belongings.

Sheriff Kirk attempted to make a traffic stop on Maynard for no taillight.

The sheriff noted a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Maynard’s breath. According to the police report, Maynard stated he had been taking Neurontin.

Fitchpatrick traveled 1-2 miles before he decided to stop. According to Adams, Fitchpatrick said he took off because he had two prior speeding tickets.

Ashley Harless, 41, of Tomahawk, was arrested March 1 in Tomahawk for assault, fourth degree (child abuse). Deputy Adams responded to a complaint from dispatch of an adult assaulting a 14-year-old. The officer spoke to the alleged victim, who said she was outside playing with another child on the trampoline when the other child started crying. The juvenile stated Harless came outside and told her to “shut up” when she tried to explain why the other child was crying. The juvenile said Harless told her to come to the steps and sit in front of her, then grabbed her by the hair of the head and tried to pull her into the house. According to the police report, the juvenile said when Harless let go, the juvenile tried to run through the yard, and Harless threw a vape and hit her on the left arm by the elbow leaving a knot and laceration.

Adams reported that Harless initially denied all the claims and said the juvenile was a “compulsive liar.” The deputy said he spoke to the other juvenile, who immediately stated, before being asked anything, that Harless “told me to tell you nothing happened so she didn’t go to jail.” The child allegedly said Harless “got mad and was trying to pull [juvenile] in the house by her hair.” According to Adams, Harless finally admitted to pulling the child’s hair and throwing the vape.
