Authorities in western Wisconsin are investigating after a memorial for a fallen Sawyer County sheriff’s deputy was burned.
Officers say the memorial for Deputy Michael Villiard in the Village of Couderay was lit on fire late Tuesday night. Investigators say they found evidence indicating the fire was intentionally set.
The Sawyer County Sheriff’s Office says it is seeking the public’s help in determining those responsible for this “cowardly act.”
Deputy Villiard died in the line of duty in July of 1998.
