Wisconsin man arrested in drug and gun bust at girl scout campgrounds

WEST BEND, WI — Washington County deputies say a Girl Scouts camp in West Bend, Wisconsin, was the site of a drug and illegal firearms operation uncovered earlier this month.

Deputies responded to a domestic violence call at a home on the Camp Silver Brook grounds on March 15 where they located and arrested 48yearold Paul David. David lived at the property with his wife, who is a Girl Scouts employee, and their two children.

According to court documents, investigators found nearly 700 grams of marijuana, nine marijuana plants, psychoactive mushrooms, and 13 guns stored in areas accessible to children.

Deputies say David is a convicted felon and is prohibited from possessing firearms.

Girl Scouts officials said no scouts were harmed and confirmed the employee has been placed on leave. David has since posted bail, left the campgrounds, and is barred from coming within 1,000 feet of the property.

His next court appearance is scheduled for May.

Wisconsin’s ‘false spring’ ends, cold weather returns

Looking past Saturday’s radiant sunshine is a reminder that, no matter how much we love Wisconsin’s early spring warm spells, Wisconsin weather will never love us back.

When the sun goes down, so too will the false spring, according to the National Weather Service.

The temperature overnight is forecasted to drop to the mid- to upper-30s, with winds up to 30 miles per hour in southeast Wisconsin.

By morning, the high temperature will reach the low-40s, with a 20% chance of light rain and up to 20 mile-per-hour winds.

From there, it will only get colder. Monday will see a brief return to cooler temperatures, with a mid-40 degree high. The prospect of spring may well return March 24, with Tuesday temperatures said to reach the lower 50s.

Caroline Harvey gives Wisconsin hockey its seventh Patty Kazmaier winner

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA – Caroline Harvey didn’t need the Patty Kazmaier Award to certify her greatness as a college hockey player.

But the confirmation had to be nice.

The senior defender became the seventh Wisconsin Badger to claim the honor for the best player in the college game Saturday, March 21. Harvey is also the third defender to win the award.

Harvey received the award during a live broadcast on the NHL Network. Penn State’s Tessa Janecki and Minnesota’s Abbey Murphy were also in the top three finalists.

While Harvey is just the third defender to win, one of her strengths is how much of a threat she is offensively. During the Badgers’ overtime win against Penn State on Friday, she recorded her 200^th point, just the 10^th Badger to reach that milestone.

This has been her best season. Despite missing eight games while competing for gold-medal winning Team USA at the Olympics, she still has matched her point total of last season.

This season Harvey ranks second in the nation with 1.97 points per game and leads all defenders with 0.56 goals per game.

With the announcement, Wisconsin moves ahead of Harvard for the most Patty Kazmaier Award winners with seven.

Here are UW’s winners of the award: Forward Sara Bauer, 2006; goaltender Jessie Vetter, 2009; forward Meghan Duggan, 2011; forward Brianna Decker, 2012; goaltender Ann-Renee Desbiens, 2018; forward Casey O’Brien, 2025.
