According to the criminal complaint, on Aug. 4 at 7:35 a.m., a Shawano County sheriff’s deputy responded to a complaint in the Town of Angelica, where Bahr was allegedly contacted by another deputy, as he was allegedly washing a piece of equipment in the driveway. At 7:43 a.m., Bahr allegedly fled from the residence on a three-wheeled ATV. While searching, another deputy allegedly found one firearm in a vehicle at the residence.

When looking for Bahr, the Shawano County Special Response Team, Menominee County Drone Unit and Brown County SWAT were contacted, and they assisted. When asking residents if they have seen Bahr, one neighbor allegedly said that they say Bahr leaving a field edge on County Road S with a shotgun across his lap.

At 11:49 a.m., Bahr’s mother was leaving to the residence where Bahr was spotted. She allegedly told law enforcement that Bahr told her that he had planned on committing suicide, or was going to “shoot it out with the cops.” She then allegedly gave law enforcement two spots where Bahr could be.

On Aug. 7, Bahr was located and brought into custody at Motel 6 in Green Bay. When searching Bahr’s residence, deputies found seven firearms, one box of meth smoking drug paraphernalia with two digital scales, THC drug paraphernalia, 667.8 grams of THC, four mason jars with green, leafy substances, a plastic gallon sized bag with a green, leafy substance, aluminum foil with several cut straws and six shotgun shells that were on a sling.

According to Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, Bahr currently has six other open cases in Shawano County, with the first coming from October 2021.

Shawano-Menominee County Circuit Court Judge William Kussel Jr. set a cash bond of $75,000 and scheduled a status conference for Sep. 6.
