KAUKAUNA, WI (WTAQ) – A Facebook post that’s gone viral is causing some heartburn in Kaukauna.
A female resident claims an elderly man tried abducting her child and assaulted her during an incident last Sunday. That post was made Wednesday.
“We were called there for a landlord-tenant type dispute,” says Kaukauna Police Lt. Jamie Graff. “And a male party there was arrested for disorderly conduct.”
Graff identified that man as Henry Drescher. However, Graff says there is no ongoing investigation and other officials indicate there is no evidence of what the woman is claiming on Facebook.
Drescher was taken to the Outagamie County Jail. He’s since posted bond and was released. A single charge of disorderly conduct has been referred to the district attorney’s office, according to Graff.
Graff also cautioned people who use social media sites, like Facebook, about jumping to conclusions with regard to rumors.
“You have to be careful about what information you’re reading and what’s being shared and not getting caught up with truth versus rumors,” said Graff. “If there ever is a major public safety, law enforcement in your community will be notifying you of those issues.”
