Follow Up - Should squads be used for personal business outside of the county? When they are used for personal business outside of the county, should fuel be purchased using a County credit card?
If your answer is no to both of these questions, then I would like to hear your input on the findings below.
History:
On October 29th, 2025, I had made two posts talking about Administrative take-home squad cars – specifically the Jail Captain, Jail Lieutenant, and Dispatch Captain. I provided a mileage log, in which Jail Captain Adam Wogsland logged 17,998 miles in 8 months. He also used his county issued fuel card to purchase fuel outside of Waupaca County a total of 17 times. Some of these locations included Green Bay, Manitowoc, Stevens Point, Plover, and Wild Rose. The total purchase of fuel to date was $3,086.28 (before tax exemption).
Captain Wogsland’s primary duties are held within the walls of the Waupaca County Sheriff’s Office, specifically the Jail. He does not respond to calls for service or patrol the roadways of Waupaca County. In fact, in those 8 months, he responded to a total of zero calls for service.
New Information:
Recently, it was asked by a concerned citizen if Captain Wogsland was using his squad car for personal business, both inside and outside of Waupaca County. Also provided, were screenshot photographs from a personal Facebook account where Capt. Wogsland was “tagged” in multiple events. One of these events attended was a baseball sporting event for a family member in Manitowoc, Wis. This occurred on June 21st, 2025 and according to the fuel receipt, on 06-21-2025, Capt. Wogsland had purchased fuel for $60.64 (tax exempt) at a gas station at 808 Memorial Dr. in Manitowoc.
There were several other fuel purchases in and around the Wisconsin Rapids, Plover, and Stevens Point area as well. There are several Facebook posts again showing Capt. Wogsland to have purchased fuel from gas stations in this same area - where family sporting events were taking place. (See attached post from PWYA page).
Conclusion:
As I have said so many times before – I do not enjoy making posts like these. I do not like negativity. I am, overall, such a positive person and always see the best in people. However, you, the tax paying citizens of this county, need to know what is going on at the Sheriff’s Office and within Waupaca County. It simply is not fair for you to be excluded from this decision making and lack of accountability. This information is factual and is not intended to be opinionated, harassing, threatening, or derogatory in any way. In reference to this concern, I, too, am a family man. I will encourage my staff to always put family first and to be there for your children. However, there must be a line that is drawn when it comes to being accountable to our taxpayers.
Simply put - this issue is not a political opponent versus opponent issue, rather right versus wrong issue.
As always, I welcome any questions, comments, concerns, or feedback!
Thank you!
