Racine County Sheriff Orders Immediate Removal Of Flock Cameras After Learning Company Retains, Monetizes Data
RACINE, Wis. — Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling has ordered the immediate removal of every Flock license plate reader camera operated by the Racine County Sheriff’s Office after learning the company appears to be collecting, retaining and monetizing information far beyond what the agency believed it had agreed to. The decision comes less than two months after a Walworth County judge ordered Racine County law enforcement agencies to turn over unredacted investigative records in a separate Kenosha County Eye John Doe proceeding involving allegations that Racine County Sheriff’s Deputy Emil Ortiz improperly used the Flock system. Schmaling announced Friday that his office has obtained legal counsel and is taking steps to terminate its agreement with Flock after discovering what he described as a serious breach of the public’s trust. The

Pringle Nature Center Secures New 10-Year Lease With Kenosha County
BRISTOL, Wis. — The Pringle Nature Center will continue operating at Bristol Woods Park for at least another decade after Kenosha County and the nonprofit organization entered into a new 10-year lease agreement. Kenosha County Executive Samantha Kerkman joined county parks officials and Pringle Nature Center leaders Wednesday for a ceremonial signing of the agreement, which was recently approved by the Kenosha County Board. “This is really a great partnership that started many years ago, and I want to thank our forefathers for putting this together,” a county spokesperson said. “This is what makes us stronger as a community and a county, when we work together with our public-private partnerships.” The Pringle Nature Center traces its roots to a $50,000 donation made in 1983 by the family of Robert D.

Catch, Release, Repeat: Everyone Saw It Coming Except “Catch & Release” Kellum – Hours After He Let Woman Facing 41 Years Walk For Free, She Allegedly Violated Bond Again; Now Facing More Than 65 Years
Krystyna M. Rogers, 36, of Kenosha(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) KENOSHA, Wis. — Everyone saw this coming. Apparently, Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum did not. On Thursday, Kellum lived up to his nickname and released 36-year-old Krystyna M. Rogers without requiring her to pay a penny, even though she was already facing 10 criminal charges in four open cases, including six felony bail-jumping counts and more than 41 years behind bars. The logic behind repeatedly releasing someone accused of repeatedly violating previous releases was difficult enough to understand Thursday. By Friday, it looked even worse. Prosecutors filed yet another felony case against Rogers, alleging that just hours after Kellum let her walk out of custody, she again violated her bond conditions. This time she picked up four

He appeared before Court Commissioner Daniel E. Kellum Friday afternoon, where District Attorney Xavier Solis appeared for the state. Kellum set Dinaso’s bail at $25,000 cash.

Former Wilmot Student Sentenced To Maximum Prison Time Requested By Prosecutors In Child Pornography Case After Earlier No-Cash Bail Sparked Outrage
KENOSHA, Wis. — Former Wilmot Union High School student Jason A. Kotarba, 17, of Twin Lakes, was sentenced Friday to the maximum prison time requested by prosecutors: 4½ years of initial confinement, followed by six years of extended supervision, after Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Heather Iverson imposed the prosecution’s recommendation in full and ordered all three sentences to run consecutively. The substantial prison sentence comes after a controversial beginning to the case, including Judge Chad Kerkman (D) releasing Kotarba from juvenile detention and initially considering not waiving him into adult court, according to information discussed at Friday’s hearing, and Court Commissioner William “Bargain Bail Billy” Michel II later releasing Kotarba on no-cash bail. Judge Jodi Meier subsequently imposed a $25,000 cash bond and barred Kotarba from Wilmot Union High

A Kenosha County Eye photographer, BC, was nearby and responded to the scene. Photographs taken by BC depict a man on

KUSD Ends Districtwide Free Meal Program At 17 Schools, Citing Depleted Food Service Reserves And $250,000 Monthly Cost
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha Unified School District families are facing a significant change to the district’s school meal program this year, with 17 schools no longer participating in a program that previously provided breakfast and lunch to every student at no charge regardless of household income. The change has generated questions and calls from parents during the opening days of the 2026-27 school year. KUSD officials told the Kenosha County Eye that the decision was financial: continuing to provide universally free meals districtwide would have cost the district approximately $250,000 every month beyond what the federal meal program would reimburse. KUSD expanded the Community Eligibility Program, or CEP, to the entire district during the 2022-23 school year. CEP is a federal program that allows qualifying schools to provide breakfast and

Kenosha Unified Girls Make History With First-Ever Flag Football Games
KENOSHA, Wis. — About 70 girls from Kenosha Unified School District made school history Wednesday, taking the field for the district’s first-ever girls flag football games. Teams from Bradford, Indian Trail and Tremper high schools competed Sept. 2 at Hammes Field at Racine Case High School as part of the Donald Driver-Driven NFL FLAG Football League. Each school fielded a team of approximately 24 girls, and each team played two games during the inaugural competition. The league is designed to give female athletes an opportunity to learn and compete in football in a non-contact format. According to KUSD, the program emphasizes football fundamentals, teamwork, sportsmanship and character development while allowing athletes of varying skill levels to participate. “We are honored to be part of this pioneering initiative in Southeast Wisconsin

Second KUSD Mold Problem In Days: Bullen Middle School Closed Friday For Professional Remediation
KENOSHA, Wis. — Bullen Middle School will be closed Friday, Sept. 4, after staff discovered mold inside the building Thursday, marking the second mold-related disruption at a Kenosha Unified School District building in just days. Bullen Principal Matthew St. Martin notified families and staff Thursday evening that mold had been discovered in the building earlier in the day. According to the notice, KUSD’s Facilities Department contacted Environmental Management Consulting, Inc. to perform what the district described as a comprehensive visual assessment. Following that assessment, professional remediation was recommended. “School will be canceled tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 4, while this work takes place,” St. Martin wrote. “Crews will seal affected areas, clean surfaces, and operate air scrubbers as part of the process.” The latest discovery comes only days after mold remediation disrupted

Kenosha County Sheriff Lied To Community About Flock Investigation, Like He Has So Many Times Before: Kenosha County Eye Has The Receipts
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha County Sheriff David Zoerner told the public that his administration took the Frank McGrath Flock scandal seriously “from the outset” and made sure the matter was independently reviewed for possible criminal conduct. Newly obtained records tell a much different story. The evidence shows the Sheriff’s Office had already completed its internal investigation, had not referred criminal charges, and had not “gone that route” until Kenosha County Eye spent months pressing the issue, directly confronted Zoerner over a nearly identical Milwaukee Flock prosecution, and made clear the matter was not going away. The records are also unmistakable about when the outside criminal investigation actually began. In a Sept. 1 public-records response, Zoerner’s own office expressly identified Feb. 26, 2026, as “the date of the initial request for

Kenosha Mayor, Police Chief Defend License Plate Readers, Tout Crime-Solving Successes And New Privacy Guardrails
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha Mayor David Bogdala and Police Chief Patrick Patton issued a joint statement Thursday defending the city’s use of Automated License Plate Reader technology, pointing to several major criminal investigations in which the technology assisted police while emphasizing new restrictions intended to protect residents’ privacy. The statement comes as the city transitions away from the Flock ALPR system and toward technology provided by Axon. According to Bogdala and Patton, Kenosha began that process in January 2026 as part of an ongoing evaluation of law-enforcement technology, privacy protections and accountability. “Technology has become an important tool in modern law enforcement,” Bogdala and Patton said. “When used appropriately, Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology can help the Kenosha Police Department locate stolen vehicles, identify vehicles connected to serious crimes,

$805 a Case: How Kenosha’s Flat-Fee Public Defender Contract Pays a Lawyer to Avoid Trial
KENOSH COUNTY, Wis. — Kenosha County Eye has obtained, through a public records request to the Wisconsin State Public Defender’s Office, the contract governing Attorney Aileen Henry’s fixed-fee misdemeanor defense work for indigent clients in Kenosha County. The numbers in that contract, combined with what CCAP shows about Henry’s current caseload, describe a payment structure that a national body of legal scholarship says predictably produces exactly what local defense attorneys say they’re seeing: a lawyer who resolves cases fast and almost never goes to trial. The contractUnder her current agreement with the SPD’s Assigned Counsel Division, running July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, Henry is authorized to take up to 150 misdemeanor and misdemeanor-traffic cases in Kenosha County at a flat rate of $805 per case — paid the

Financially Failing KTEC Public Charter School Spends More Than $132,000 With Local Marketing Firm, Uses Bizarre AI-Generated Children In Ads
KENOSHA, Wis. — A failing taxpayer-funded public charter school whose latest audit shows it lost nearly $380,000 in one year and ended the year nearly $250,000 in the red has recorded more than $132,000 in bills from a local marketing firm since June 2024, according to financial records obtained by Kenosha County Eye. The school’s independent auditors have repeatedly identified what they call a “significant deficiency” in KTEC’s financial reporting controls. The firm is Dooley & Associates, owned by Jenifer Dooley-Hogan. The relationship isn’t new. When Angela Andersson was principal of KTEC while it still operated under the Kenosha Unified School District, KUSD records showed $6,750 paid to Dooley & Associates in 2021 for “Marketing, Branding & Capital.” KCE questioned the spending at the time, including why a school with

Police Say More Than 400 Child Pornography Files Found On Daybreak Youth Pastor’s Phone; 20 New Felonies Added
KENOSHA, Wis. — Prosecutors have added 20 felony child-pornography charges against Dale Robert Nixon, 43, of Kenosha, after police say a forensic examination of his cellphone uncovered more than 400 files of child pornography, also known as child sexual abuse material, or CSAM. The material described in the amended criminal complaint includes some of the most horrific forms of CSAM imaginable, allegedly depicting the sexual abuse of infants, toddlers and other prepubescent children. Nixon, a longtime Daybreak Church elder and youth pastor, was already facing extraordinarily serious allegations that he sexually assaulted his adopted daughter beginning when she was approximately 10 years old and continuing for about five years. The girl estimated the assaults occurred at least weekly, totaling approximately 260 incidents, and Detective Brittni Bray wrote that the actual

Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office(File Photo by Kevin Mathewson, Kenosha County Eye) SALEM LAKES, Wis. — A 22-year-old Trevor woman was charged Thursday with misdemeanor disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier after authorities say she called 911 and claimed she had killed her father, set her house on fire and was going to kill the president of the United States.

Kenosha County Eye has made the unusual and difficult decision not to identify the defendant in this case. The allegations are unquestionably newsworthy, but the circumstances described in the criminal complaint raise serious and obvious concerns about her mental health, and

True To His “Catch & Release” Nickname, Kellum Catches A Big One And Throws Her Back: Woman Facing More Than 41 Years Gets Three New Felony Bail-Jumping Charges And No-Cash Bail
Krystyna M. Rogers, 36, of Kenosha(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum lived up to his nickname Thursday.

Rogers, 36, of Kenosha, is now facing 10 open criminal charges across four separate cases and a maximum of more than 41 years behind bars, including six felony bail-jumping counts. When someone keeps racking up new criminal cases while already out on bail, and the latest case alone brings three more felony bail-jumping charges, one might expect the bail to go up, not disappear entirely. Kellum apparently saw it differently. After Rogers was brought into court in custody on those three new felony bail-jumping charges, Kellum let her walk

Salem Lakes Trustee Resigns Months After Election; Residents Fear Tom Strachan Appointment Could Signal Return To Village’s Darkest Days

Sources tell Kenosha County Eye that former Salem Lakes Fire Commission Chairman Tom Strachan is poised to receive the appointment, with critics warning that putting Strachan back into a powerful Village position could represent a return to what they describe as some of Salem Lakes’ darkest and most dysfunctional days.
