Lawmaker’s Daughter Due In Court In Drug Case

The daughter of state Assembly finance chairman John Nygren is due back in court today (Thursday) on new drug allegations. Brown County prosecutors were expected to file charges shortly before Cassandra Nygren’s court appearance. The 28-year-old Green Bay woman and her 33-year-old fiancee Shawn Gray were arrested last week, on suspicion of providing prescription fentanyl that killed 31-year-old Jennifer Skeen and her unborn baby in June near Green Bay. Both suspects had bond hearings last week, and Gray was expected to make his next court appearance tomorrow (Friday). Cassandra Nygren has long struggled with a drug problem, and her father made it the impetus for about 30 bills approved in the past four years to fight opioid and heroin addiction.
