KESHENA, WI (WTAQ) – The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin’s legislature has voted to remove Police Chief Mark Waukau from his position.
“The decision was made to uphold the previous motion. The police chief has been removed.”
No further statement is being given at this time and Waukau may still appeal the action, according to Chairman Douglas Cox.
“The former chief still has some due process rights under our tribal law that we are waiting to hear back on if he is pursuing that which could result in court proceedings.”
A special meeting of the tribal legislature to address the issue was held on Monday, according to their agenda.
It’s not immediately clear when further information will be issued by the tribe.
