Chippewa County’s recently elected sheriff, Travis Hakes, is facing undisclosed allegations that have prompted the Chippewa County Board to convene a closed-door meeting to discuss his future.
The meeting, which lasted for four hours, yielded no definitive decisions regarding Sheriff Hakes’ status, leading to the scheduling of another session next month for further deliberations.
The board’s decision to address these allegations followed a complaint from an employee regarding Sheriff Hakes’ conduct within the workplace.
However, the specific details of the complaint remain undisclosed.
It should be noted that Sheriff Hakes assumed office after winning the election last autumn.
