Police in Wisconsin respond to unusual home intrusion by 'masked bandits'
WAUSAU, Wis. (WFRV) – Police officers in central Wisconsin were faced with multiple 'masked bandits' while recently responding to what they called an unusual home intrusion report. In a post on social media by the Wausau Police Department, multiple 'masked suspects' were found inside a home on Wausau's east side, with two others later found loitering on the roof. Local artist helps capture WFRV Local 5's 70 years of news Officers say no arrests were needed, however, the raccoons were given a firm warning to vacate the premises, a warning police say was largely ignored. While this situation was not too serious, the police are using it to give the public an important reminder. First, to avoid raccoons being near or coming inside a home, residents should make sure to secure their trash cans, pet food, and bird feeders. They should also seal any possible easy access points of a home, like the attic, chimneys, or screens. If residents do encounter raccoons in or around their home, officials say not to approach the animals as they can bite or scratch if threatened and could be carrying diseases like rabies. Instead, residents should call a licensed wildlife removal service for safe and humane assistance or contact a local humane society or DNR office for additional guidance. These 'masked bandits' may look cute, but it's best to admire them from a distance! The Wausua Police Department Officers did add that if there is an immediate safety concern, residents can and should contact their local police department. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Former University of Arkansas professor pleads not guilty to possessing CSAM
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A former University of Arkansas professor accused of possessing child sexual abuse materials has pleaded not guilty, according to court documents. Joshua McGee, 34, was arrested on July 11 for one count of possession of child pornography. McGee entered a not guilty plea during his arraignment on Aug. 11. His trial is set to begin on Oct. 9 at 8 a.m. at the Washington County Courthouse. A preliminary report said that in June, the Fayetteville Police Department started an investigation after an IP address registered to McGee had downloaded 'large amounts' of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM). Investigators found that the IP address had downloaded files from June to July 2025. Officers went to McGee's residence on July 11 to speak with him. McGee confessed to downloading multiple files of CSAM as recently as a week before being interviewed. However, when asked if he had CSAM stored on his phone or other electronic devices, McGee said no. Missouri man pleads not guilty to sexually enticing Pea Ridge teen McGee's cell phone and electronic devices were searched and investigators found CSAM. A thumb drive reportedly contained multiple folders of CSAM, each labeled with specific categories. A hidden folder app on McGee's cell phone also contained CSAM, according to the report. A spokesperson with the University of Arkansas told KNWA/FOX24 following McGee's arrest that he was a teaching assistant professor of exercise science, and he had been placed on administrative leave. McGee's profile has since been removed from the university's website. KNWA/FOX24 reached out to the university on Aug. 12, and the spokesperson said that McGee is no longer employed by the university. McGee was released from the Washington County Detention Center on a $5,000 bond. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
