On 3/4/25, Officer Gardinier and Officer Ostergaard were dispatched for a 911 hangup. A little boy called 911 saying his mom was being bad and needed to go to jail. When Officers arrived he said his mom ate his ice cream and needed to go to jail for it. He told them he no longer wanted her to go to jail and just wanted some ice cream.
Officers responded back today to surprise him with some ice cream after he decided he didn’t want mom in trouble anymore!

Did you know that Mount Pleasant played a part in the Underground Railroad? Several homes in the area are rumored to have served as safe houses for escaping slaves, but none are still standing today.
The Milton House, in Milton, WI is the only certified Underground Railroad site in WI that is still standing (link in comments).
