SHAWANO, Wis. (WBAY) - A Shawano County judge reduced bond for Ann Retzlaff from $25,000 to $15,000 at a hearing Thursday.
Retzlaff, the owner of Annies Campground in Gresham, is charged with eluding an officer, recklessly endangering safety, and resisting/obstructing for a six-mile chase in Shawano and Menominee counties, during which prosecutors say she almost hit two deputies. Authorities say deputies were trying to pull her over for failing to stop at a stop light.
This week, Retzlaff filed federal lawsuits against a deputy with the Menominee County Sheriffs Department and another deputy with the Shawano County Sheriffs Office.
The lawsuits were filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin on May 16. Both suits accuse the deputies of 12 federal crimes, including Conspiracy for Cover Up of Human Trafficking, Violation of Freedom to Travel Kidnapping, Police Brutality, Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Assault and Battery Personal Property Damage, and Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law. She also says her Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights were violated.

Interesting police report. I don't have the ambition to read the whole thing.
Are the Posse Comitatus still a thing in that part of the state after all these years? Looks as if she would fit right in.
The thing that sucks the most is no one cares and her business will keep going right along.
