WEST BEND — A man was arrested at a residence on Camp Silver Brook in West Bend on Sunday, March 15—an area owned by the Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast (GSWISE).
The Washington County Sheriff's Office informed GSWISE of a criminal complaint for a residence on their property, close to the camp, GSWISE said in a statement on Thursday.
GSWISE said that they were not aware of the situation prior to the arrest and launched their own investigation to find that an employee of theirs was involved and has since been put on leave.
According to open records, the person who was arrested is facing 13 charges for possession of a firearm-convicted of out-of-state felony, three counts of possession with intent to deliver/distribute a controlled substance on or near a youth center, maintain drug trafficking place, use of a dangerous weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia.
"The conduct listed in the criminal complaint is not consistent with Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast's values or our policies," Chief Executive Officer of GSWISE, Ana Simpson, said in a statement. "Our primary concern—now and always—is the safety of the girls in our care. We are committed to ensuring that our spaces remain safe for local Girl Scouts to explore and learn."
