SAUK CITY, WI (WTAQ) – The Sauk Prairie Police Chief says Officer Matt Alt was arrested December first on three preliminary charges.
The charges include misconduct in public office, possession of a narcotic drug, and possession or illegally obtaining a prescription drug. Officials say the drugs involved were opiates that were used on and off duty.
No formal charges have yet been filed.
The Police Chief says they requested an investigation from DCI November 9th after an internal process revealed an issue needed to be investigated. Earlier, the department termed it a “public integrity issue.”
Alt has been with the department for over 17 years.
