RACINE, WI (WSAU) Kenosha City Alderman G. John Ruffolo is locked up in the Racine County Jail awaiting stalking charges.
Ruffolo was arrested Tuesday morning at his home, and will be in court Wednesday according to the Wisconsin Department of Justice. Because the 54-year-old is a public official, a special prosecutor will handle the case instead of the county District Attorney.
No charges have yet been filed. The specifics of the allegation have not been made public. Neighbors say police seized a computer and took several bags of evidence from Ruffolo’s home.
