A Waupun Correctional inmate suspected of assaulting a corrections officer was recently arraigned in Dodge County Court. Thirty-four-year-old Ramon Alvarado Jr. pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned Thursday.

Guards had to use pepper spray on him and according to the criminal complaint he threatened to “kill them once he got out.” When his restraints were removed he kicked a guard in the knee.

Couple Donates Pet Oxygen Masks to Local Medical Services
Local residents Bob and Donna Lyon were simply watching the news when a lifesaving idea came to them. The couple watched a news segment about oxygen masks used for pets during emergencies likes house fires, and after consideration, they reached out to the Berlin Emergency Medical Services to inquire about donating these types of masks. The idea was welcomed, and the couple initially planned on donating just one set, but soon decided they wanted to provide enough for Green Lake County in its entirety. Now, as a result of this donation, the Green Lake County, Green Lake, Princeton, and Berlin EMS all have these types of oxygen masks on-hand. Three sizes are available, so they can be used on animals of various sizes. These masks are now ready for use, and they, when necessary, will be utilized throughout the county to provide oxygen for pets in need.
