Eau Claire, Wisconsin - On Friday, the Eau Claire Police Department (ECPD) in a press release reported that on October 10, 2024, ECPD was called to assist with an Anoka County,  Minnesota missing persons case. That missing person was located at a hotel in Eau Claire. It was later learned this missing person came to Eau Claire to pay $32,000 to who they thought was an agent with the FBI. 

After the transfer of money was made, the victim learned this was a scam and reported it to police. When ECPD contacted the victim, they gave officers a description of the suspect. While officers were inside talking with hotel staff, the suspect walked into the lobby. 

Officers made contact with the suspect, identified as Chetankumar Patel, 40, and recovered the $32,000. Patel was then taken into custody and is charged with one felony count for Theft by False Representation. 

A similar case unfolded within the same week. ECPD was made aware of a fraud complaint after a tip came in from a local bank. It was learned that a customer of theirs had lost $60,000 in cash after an alleged "courier" came to the victim's apartment to pick it up. The victim told police the scam began with an email asking to renew their anti-virus program. The victim was then contacted by someone who claimed to be from the Better Business Bureau, then the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The victim was told they were part of a scam and needed to pay money. They would later meet a suspect to pay $29,500 they withdrew from their account. 

The next day, the victim was told to pay another $29,500 as the transaction didn't go through. The victim withdrew the money and paid a different suspect. 

The investigation continues on both of these cases. 

In the meantime, ECPD wants to alert the public on these fraud cases. It's important to know that the FBI will never contact you and ask you for money. The FBI and other agencies will also never ask you to keep these requests secret. If you ever have a question or hesitation about whether you are being scammed, take a moment, assess the situation and when in doubt, contact your local law enforcement.

The called location changed from the app to inside the school and a search was conducted. 

No one was located inside the school armed with an AR, which police now say was a false call alarm similar to police "swatting" calls. 

Social media posts indicated a weapon was located, but police have not confirmed, if a weapon was recovered from inside the school.

Police continue to investigate the false 911 call to determine, if a student (or individuals) at the Waukegan High School originated the false police emergency call.

Wisconsin Needs Radical Refom And Oversight In Courts, Especially At The MAGA Controlled Waukesha County Family Court, Which Judges Committed Errors And Their Failure To Follow Domestic Abuse Protection Laws

Unfortunately, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers (D), Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez (D), Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul (D) and the majority of the Wisconsin State Supreme Court who are Democrats as well have failed to apply State laws and oversight of the MAGA/Republican controlled Waukesha County family court, which judges repeatedly committed errors, and won't follow the State's domestic abuse protection laws and have Illegally taken 4 children from their mother in the Julie Valadez vs. Ricardo Valadez divorce case # 2018FA000296.

Waukesha, Wisconsin - The Waukesha County family court has been known to be the most corrupt court system in Wisconsin, after it became known that multiple Judges Michael J. Aprahamian and Ralph M.  Ramirez engaged in illegal acts that led to multiple errors and who failed to follow State domestic abuse protection laws in the infamous Julie Valadez vs. Ricardo Valadez divorce case. The Julie divorce case dilemma was first published by Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) who broke the story on August 2021. (http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2021/08/temporary-stay-granted-in-finding-of.html)

Both Judges Aprahamian and Ramirez were removed after the Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled that they committed multiple errors in Julie's divorce case, that resulted in the illegal placement of her 4 children with the known abusive father, Ricardo Valadez, instead with Julie. (http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2024/06/waukesha-county-family-court-judge.html)

Today, Waukesha County family court Judge Jennifer R. Dorow has been assigned to Julie's divorce case. After the Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled that multiple errors have occurred in her case, Judge Dorow will now hold an evidentiary hearing on November 1, 2024, which will be the third evidentiary hearing in Julie's case. Judges Aprahamian and Ramirez previously held their own evidentiary hearings and yet, they continued to ignore to apply State domestic abuse protection laws in Julie's case, which led to having her 4 children taken away and placed with the abusive father, without even holding any court proceedings to see, if Julie was an unfit mother, in otherwords, Julie wasn't given due process of the law and she continues to fight today the Waukesha County family court corrupt system hoping that her children will be allowed to see their mother.

On October 1, 2024, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals District 2 ordered for the respondent (Judge Dorow) to file a response to the petition of Writ Mandamus (to comply with the law) no later than November 1, 2024. (Case: Julie Valadez vs Jennifer Dorow #2024AP001945-W)

What's ironic in this case, is that Ricardo Valadez never petition the court to have full custody of the 4 children. Ricardo and Julie had agreed to have joint custody, but Judge Aprahamian decided to place the 4 children with the abusive father without just cause and Judge Ramirez followed his decision after the Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled twice that they both committed errors in Julie's case and were forced to recuse themselves from the case.

On September 24, 2024, Julie Valadez posted on her Facebook (FB) account, "Right here in Wisconsin I have been unlawfully ordered to jail 5 times with 5 appellate reversals and a custody and placement reversal by the appellate court that the Waukesha court still refuses to comply with and they continue to threaten me with jail all related to the unlawful custody and placement orders they continue in defiance of the law and appellate orders."

Julie now resides in Canada and has sought refugee asylum. 

Julie's divorce case also exposed the widespread corruption in both Waukesha and Walworth Counties, involving the Delavan Police Department, where Delavan Police Detective Trevor G. Hinman made a false police report allegedly accusing Julie of kidnap minor to sexually assault, regarding Julie's 15-year-old son who ran away on January 10, 2023 from his abusive father and crossed into Canada to be with his mother. Julie was criminally charged on February 3, 2023 with two felony counts for interfere with child custody-other parent including party to a crime, and interfere with custody-after custody order including party to a crime. (http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2023/06/julie-valadez-ordered-released-from.html)

Julie had reached out to Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers and Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul about her case, but none have acted to hold the Waukesha County family court system accountable for not following State laws regarding domestic abuse protection laws for abused spouses and their children.

HNNUSA spoke with Kaul on September 17, 2024 at a Southside Milwaukee non-profit organization's event about Julie's case, and Kaul confirmed to HNNUSA that he didn't known about her case. Julie wrote a letter in July 2021 to Wisconsin Attorney General Kaul seeking help in her case, but Kaul never received her letter from his administrative staff at the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

Justice for Julie Valadez and her children!
