WAUPUN, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A former Waupun correctional officer pleads no contest in connection to the deaths of two inmates.
Sarah Ransbottom was initially charged with misconduct in public office but pleaded no contest last week to a lesser charge of violating laws governing state institutions.
A criminal complaint alleges Ransbottom signed on record that she had completed cell checks on February 21. Security camera footage showed she hadn’t.
Inmate Donald Maier was found dead the following day.
Nine people, including Ransbottom and former Waupun warden Randall Hepp, are charged in connection to the deaths of Maier and another inmate.
