31 May 2022 News
Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s deputies were involved in two water rescues efforts on Lake Winnebago Memorial Day. The first was to assist Calumet County with a capsized sailboat. Deputies were able to upright and secure the sailboat and it was towed back to a private residence. The occupant refused medical attention. The second water rescue occurred about 8:41 pm and involved a canoe that flipped over in front of N7206 Winnebago Drive in the Town of Fond du Lac. The occupant was getting a ride back to shore from a pontoon boat. Deputies were waiting for him on shore when he jumped off the pontoon boat about 50 yards from shore. Deputies eventually pulled him back to shore just after 10 pm. The 42-year-old Oshkosh man refused medical treatment and was arrested for operating a boat while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and felony bail jumping.
