According to Naze’s news release, the Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation turned over materials from its investigation to his office Sept. 29.
Information released by state investigators last month revealed officers were called at 7:55 p.m. to a disturbance in an area about 2 miles south of State 29, on County AB. When officers arrived, they found Whitmire threatening a woman and nearby residents with a knife.
Tlachac and three others — Sheriff’s Sgt. Dustin E. Smidle, deputy Jordan D. Salentine and Kewaunee Police officer Brian D. Gale — were placed on paid administrative leave while the DOJ investigated the shooting. Gale has returned to work.
