  1. Look closer. The whole Sheriff’s Dept is like Love Island on crack. Everything is ignored or hidden until the person is no longer a loyal ass kisser… then they’re targeted.

    The sheriff knows who didn’t vote for him. They are all on the hot seat now.

    1. Sure is! I had a lieutenant texting me, I ended up blocking him on my phone. He was dating a past correctional officer from downtown. A couple days or so after this he proposed to his now wife.

  2. Hasn’t there been quite a bit of that lately… seems he’s not the only one sending dick pics. Isn’t there two others… at least.

          1. Please share, maybe his new department would appreciate an anonymous tip regarding him. Now that he has no family to essentially give him a position and let him move through the ranks and cover up all his bullshit.

      1. I did hear rumor that he got a heads up on the investigation and ran to TN. Who abruptly quits a job after being there so long and goes out of state? Shady

        1. You mean Zarletti? He sure did run and fast! Does seem shady that he quit and left so fast after being with the county for so many years! I did also hear rumor he is a golden boy and got a heads up on the upcoming investigation. Nothing surprises me with Kenosha county.
          I wish Kevin Mathewson would do an article about who gets promoted and how they are connected to the higher ups county wide







  3. Yup I was married 2 years to a man at sheriff department we are divorced. It was awful. I can’t believe how they treat women and children.

    1. I have no clue who you are but I am very sorry you were put through that. I know it doesn’t mean much but there are some that have been married for over 25 years have great kids and have never cheated. I know that doesn’t help but its not everyone.

      4
      2
  4. Who the fuck would want to a picture of this guys junk? What are people thinking when they do shit like this? I just don’t get it.

  5. Zarletti resigned for the same reason. He was sending pics of his ding dong to KSD employees. He got caught while doing an investigation on the Flock camera issue. When interviewing the suspect the suspect pulled out his phone and asked if this was ding dong photo. OOOOPS!

  6. What the heck is going on in Kenosha county? So much sexual harassment! You have this with the Lt, the current candidate for clerk of courts Sheffler, one that fled to TN. I feel sorry for the women who have to go to work at these places.

  7. No way!! He is an amazing friendly guy! I don’t believe this at all! Maybe it’s political! Some people don’t like when others are happy! How about the local attorneys and their dating woman half their ages…. is that harassment???

    1
    2
    1. Why would you resign if it wasn’t true? You got the union and attorneys to back you. I would seriously off myself if I spent so many years working towards a pension just to lose it for being stupid. Not quite sure how this guy can even look at himself in a mirror.

      6
      1
  8. Maybe someone could take the time to review why other new lieutenants get promoted. Why he said he was going to leave and the sheriff office is in deep doo doo instead of letting the loser leave they promote him to a higher rank. If someone could figure out why he was leaving or what makes him qualified for a lieutenant role!
    Ohhhhh and one more to dig into, why is the county of Kenosha funding non sworn office staff to attend out of country training.. ( an office clerical employee attending training and conferences) and making the county look horrible why she’s in attendance…. Please and thank you







  9. Examine the evidence, Compare the photos to the junk. Let me guess, there’s a head, a shaft some balls and some pubic hairs. Guilty!😳
