WAUPACA, Wis. — Waupaca County Sheriff Tim Wilz wins a contentious Republican primary for his position.
Wilz defeated Sgt. Cameron Durrant by nearly 1,500 votes.
Wilz and District Attorney Veronica Isherwood have been engaged in a battle this summer over accusations that deputies and investigators in the sheriff’s department had changed incident reports without informing prosecutors or defense attorneys.
Isherwood has requested a special prosecutor look into the results of a state investigation, while Wilz has called for the Department of Justice to conduct an investigation into the district attorney’s office.
