Grant County will conduct warning siren testing in all municipalities on Monday. In some areas, this will consist of a brief “growl” test, where the siren is activated and then quickly silenced. In other communities, the tests will run for a full siren cycle.

These tests are part of the transition to our new countywide radio system and are being conducted to confirm that all equipment is operating reliably and as designed.

These tests are NOT a part of Wisconsin's statewide tornado drill, which will take place on Thursday, April 16th (stay tuned for more outreach on that!)

Richland County Death Results in Criminal Charges

Sheriff Clay Porter reports that a criminal complaint has been issued against Judd Allen Frazier, 56, for the criminal charges of Felony Murder and Felon in Possession of a Firearm, as a result of an ongoing death investigation of an adult male from rural Richland County.

On September 29, 2025, deputies with the Richland County Sheriff's Office responded to a medical call in rural Richland County and located an adult male who was deceased at the scene. An investigation was immediately started into the circumstances surrounding the death.

Through the course of the investigation, deputies learned of a physical altercation that occurred on September 26, 2025, involving the deceased victim. Information gathered from the scene and subsequent investigative efforts led to the criminal charges.

“Our thoughts are with the victim and his family during this difficult time,” said Sheriff Porter. “We remain committed to thoroughly investigating this matter and ensuring that justice is pursued.”

The Richland County Sheriff's Office was assisted with the investigation by the following agencies: Muscoda EMS, Richland County Special Response Team, Richland Center Police Department, Richland County Coroner's Office, Richland Center Fire Department, Richland County District Attorney's Office, Boscobel Police Department and Dane County Medical Examiner's Office.
