Any scooter violations are subject to a fine of $25.00.

On Thursday, June 3, 2021, the Sheboygan Police Department investigated the report of a man who had been stabbed in the 1800 block of Bell Ave.

The investigation determined that there was a gathering at a residence in the 1800 block of Bell Ave, when an argument broke out between one of the guests and a resident from that location. During the disturbance a 39-year-old Oshkosh man brandished a knife and stabbed the resident multiple times. This resulted in non-life threatening injuries to the 29-year-old victim, who was treated and released from the hospital.

The suspect was located in the area and taken into custody. He has been referred to the Sheboygan County District Attorney’s Office for a charge of substantial battery and resisting arrest, and was taken to jail.  The victim was also referred for a charge of battery and jailed for a probation violation.

The Sheboygan Police Department would like to bring increased awareness to a surge of suspected drug overdoses in our community. In 24 hours our department has responded to three suspected overdose cases, one of which led to the death of a 30-year-old Sheboygan woman.

During the course of these investigations, officers are encountering various illegal drugs with fentanyl or suspected fentanyl mixed in. When purchasing drugs on the street, there is a chance of getting something even more dangerous since there is no way of knowing the strength or contents. Fentanyl is a highly potent opioid responsible for many overdose deaths around the world.  With the discovery of fentanyl mixed with various other drugs including meth, cocaine, and heroin, the risk of overdose can extend to those who use other illegal drugs.

The impact of drug abuse goes far beyond the addicted individual. If you suffer from substance use disorder, we encourage you to take the tough step of seeking treatment. If you know someone who suffers from substance use disorder, we recommend you learn the signs of an overdose and how to respond should you suspect an overdose, including how to give Naloxone (Narcan) to counteract an opioid overdose.  Information about treatment and other resources are available from the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA.gov) or locally from Healthy Sheboygan County 2020’s subcommittee on mental health and substance abuse (healthysheboygancounty.org/committees/mental-health-and-substance-abuse-committee/resources/)

Please seek immediate medical treatment if you or someone you know is suffering from or showing signs of a drug overdose by calling 911. Seconds truly can make the difference.
