Verona nurse convicted of felonies
MONROE — A Verona nurse faces years in prison after he was convicted of felony charges related to pain medication taken from patients at the New Glarus home while he was caring for patients at the 87-bed, skilled-nursing facility.

Brian C. Jung, 50, a contract nurse who worked just a single shift on Jan. 9, 2025, was also charged with a misdemeanor for unwanted touching of another nurse; and also for an incident in which he allegedly barged into a bathroom while a female nurse was partially clothed.

As a result, Jung was charged with one count each of misdemeanor invasion of privacy and misdemeanor disorderly conduct; and fourth degree sexual assault. All told the defendant faced nine charges, including felony theft of movable property (special circumstances), obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, imitation of a controlled substance, and intentionally neglecting a resident — causing bodily harm.

But he was convicted on only three of the charges by a Green County jury last month — obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, falsely presenting a non-controlled substance; and intentionally abuse patients — cause bodily harm. It took the jury less than four hours to reach its verdict, according to court records.

Jung was reportedly under the influence of something other than alcohol on that shift, nurses told authorities, according to the criminal complaint filed against him. And when he administered nightly pain meds to two patients, prosecutors allege Jung likely substituted something else for the actual pain meds, which were powerful opiates.

Thus, both patients complained of persistent pain after their regular pain meds were given by Jung, the complaint said.

That same winter night, a nurse complained that Jung grabbed her buttocks at a nursing station and that at some point in the shift he opened a bathroom door while a nurse was inside.

The felony charges against Jung each carry a potential prison sentence of between 3 and 6 years. Jung has been free pending trial on a $2,000 signature bond, court records indicate.

Sentencing was set for 9 a.m., Friday, Sept. 4 before Circuit Judge Jane Bucher.

When the call comes in, our crew needs to be ready—not just with the right skills, but with the physical strength to get the job done safely.

​Here are five of our Belleville Volunteer Fire Department crew putting in the sweat equity and finishing up a tough morning workout! 💦

​While these five are in the spotlight today, readiness is a department-wide commitment. Whether it’s solo lifting sessions, daily walks/runs, cycling, group fitness classes, or local sports leagues, our firefighters are constantly putting in the off-hours work to stay strong, healthy, and ready to respond.

​We train hard so we can show up for our community when you need us most.
