One woman from Fond du Lac County is facing charges of arson for the alleged destruction of a deer stand.
If convicted, Patricia Lemasa could face a fine of at most $10,000, jail time up to 3 years and 6 months, or both.
Fond du Lac Sheriffs responded to a call of a fire on Saturday, September 18, near the Town of Waupun. According to the report, the Sheriffs headed to the area near Highway 49 and County Highway “AW.”
Once on scene, Deputies immediately reported a deer stand on fire, with flames coming from the top. The Alto Fire Department handled extinguishing the fire. The owner of the stand explained to the FDL Sheriff’s Department that the stand had been on his property for many years and that no one else uses it.
