KESHENA, WI (WTAQ) – A Menominee Tribal Police officer has been accused of having inappropriate contact with a 15-year-old.
The unnamed officer was arrested Wednesday, but formal charges had not been filed at last word.
Tribal officials heard allegations earlier this week that the officer had inappropriate communications with the teen on social media.
In a statement, Tribal Chairman Gary Besaw credited the work of the Tribal Police Department.
“This type of situation is never easy for a community. We commend our Tribal Police Department and partnering agencies for handling this matter in an expedient and professional manner.”
He added that he expects charges to be filed.
The Tribal Police Investigation was assisted by the FBI and the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation.
