Law enforcement officials in Wisconsin’s Northwoods say criminals are returning to their old ways.
Crimes decreased in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, but Oneida County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Captain Tyler Young says things are picking up.
For a few nights, no one was booked into the jail. Now, it’s about three-to-five each night.
In Portage County, the number of bookings was off by half. Now, it’s getting busier there, too.
Wausau police say traffic crashes are down by about 70 percent over the last month and a half. Sometimes those crashes can lead to crimes like fleeing the scene or a fight.
