What Secrets Did This Corrupt Mt. Pleasant Police Chief Take to His Grave?

 Must have had a guilty conscience... 

 

Timothy Joseph Zarzecki, 63 years young, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Sunday, February 1, 2026, as the result of a heart attack.

Tim was born in Racine, Wisconsin, on May 6, 1962, to the late Thomas and Barbara (née Spinski) Zarzecki Sr. He attended St. Edward's and St. Joseph's Schools and graduated from St. Catherine's High School. Tim went on to attend the University of Wisconsin–Parkside while working full time, eventually earning a degree in Business. 

 

Tim began his working career at Racine Cyclery. He later worked at the Piggly Wiggly on Spring Street before beginning his law enforcement career as a Wisconsin State Trooper. On January 17, 1988, Tim transferred to the Mount Pleasant Police Department patrol division. He was later promoted to Sergeant, supervising all three patrol shifts.

Well respected among his peers, Tim was eventually promoted to Chief of Police, a role in which he proudly led the department for 10 years. He retired on November 9, 2018, after 30 years of dedicated service. Never one to sit still, Tim also served as Interim Village Administrator for the Village of Mount Pleasant during the final year and a half of his police career, a position in which he excelled. With tremendous amount of experience, Tim also taught criminal justice at Gateway Technical College. In retirement, Tim continued his commitment to service as a fraud investigator for Educators Credit Union, a position he held at the time of his passing. 

He tried and failed to become a double dipping POS.  

 UNION GROVE (AP) -- A Wisconsin police chief has been arrested after a domestic incident.

Racine County Sheriff Chris Schmaling says Mount Pleasant Police Chief Tim Zarzecki was arrested Friday night, June 8th at his home in Union Grove on suspicion of disorderly conduct-domestic abuse. He was taken to the Racine County Jail, where he was booked and released after posting bail.

The sheriff said the chief was very cooperative. The sheriff would not give details of the incident.

Mount Pleasant Police Capt. Brian Smith says it was Zarzecki's wife who called police. He says the investigation has to run its course, but he does not believe the chief did anything wrong and that he'll be vindicated.

Zarzecki does not have a listed phone number and could not be reached for comment.

Outgoing Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling: The Self-Serving Sheriff Who Built A Florida Real Estate Portfolio While Questions Of Favoritism And Personal Misconduct Followed Him

 From Kenosha County Eye:

 RACINE, Wis. — After 16 years as Racine County’s top law enforcement officer, outgoing Sheriff Christopher Schmaling is preparing to leave office with questions surrounding his private business interests, political relationships, and personal conduct. Among the most controversial allegations is a claim documented in a 2018 Kenosha Police Department investigation that Schmaling exchanged intimate text messages with Kelly Kruse, a former Racine County Board supervisor and longtime executive director of Downtown Racine Corporation. Kruse has denied having an affair with Schmaling, and the messages have not been independently authenticated by Kenosha County Eye. Schmaling did not respond to two communications from KCE seeking comment.

Schmaling, who took office in January 2011, has served four consecutive four-year terms as sheriff. During his tenure, a private security company associated with him began operating in Wisconsin, while public property records identified two Florida real estate transactions under his name totaling approximately $1.19 million. Schmaling is also reportedly a real estate agent, and allegations that he has spent substantial time working outside Wisconsin in recent years raise further questions about how he balances private employment with his responsibilities as sheriff. His administration also faced disciplinary controversies involving senior employees, including Captain Cary Madrigal and Deputy Emil Ortiz.

SOMERS, Wis. — Parents of students at Somers Elementary School are furious with the Kenosha Unified School District (KUSD) after school officials sent a vague notification Friday morning informing families that an employee was under investigation, without identifying the employee or explaining the nature of the allegations. Kenosha County Eye has learned that the employee is Charles Thomas Basaldua, 49, of Mount Pleasant, a fifth-grade teacher at the school who is under criminal investigation concerning allegations of inappropriate conduct toward students. Basaldua denied any wrongdoing when contacted by Kenosha County Eye Friday, maintaining that he is being falsely accused.

Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil’s girlfriend arrested for domestic assault

 The girlfriend of Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil was arrested Sunday for reportedly striking the singer.

Rainbow Hannah Andreani, 45, was booked in Williamson County, Tenn., for alleged domestic assault, according to arrest records viewed by the Los Angeles Times. Andreani posted a $5,000 bond and was released Monday. She is due in court Dec. 3, according to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office.

 

Andreani’s arrest occurred after she allegedly hit Neil, 65, TMZ reported.

The makeup artist, who goes by “Rain Hannah,” and Neil have been in a relationship since 2011, according to People. In 2025, she was aboard Neil’s Learjet when it was involved in a fatal crash in Scottsdale, Ariz. The aircraft left the runway when landing, collided with a parked plane and killed one pilot. Neil was not on the plane.

Racine County Sheriff Candidate Cary Madrigal Lost Court Fight After Records Show She Seemingly Tried To Cover Up Misconduct Tied To Deputy Later Convicted Of Child Sexual Exploitation and Pornography, Bestiality

Past history of Racine County Republicans in LE at Racine County Sheriff's Office shows a pattern:

 RACINE COUNTY, Wis. — Racine County Sheriff candidate Captain Cary Madrigal lost her attempt to keep disciplinary records from public view after arguing in court filings that release of the records would unfairly damage her reputation, candidacy and privacy interests. A judge ultimately ordered the documents released, records that detail allegations she failed to properly respond to concerns involving a deputy who was later convicted in a major child pornography and child sexual exploitation case.

 

 Sex Offender and Former Racine County Sheriff’s Deputy Preston K. Kite, 37, of Union Grove

 The records include allegations and witness statements involving a possible personal relationship between Madrigal and former deputy Preston Kite outside the workplace, including claims Kite rented property from her, concerns investigators re-interviewed Madrigal after receiving information they believed was inconsistent with portions of her earlier statements, and allegations she warned an employee he was on “thin ice” after referring to Kite as a “pedophile.” The records ultimately resulted in Madrigal receiving a 10-day suspension without pay tied to her handling of complaints involving Kite.

The records show Madrigal received a 10-day suspension without pay after an internal Racine County Sheriff’s Office investigation concluded she violated departmental policy in her handling of complaints and concerns involving former deputy Preston Kite.

According to the disciplinary findings, sheriff’s office employees raised concerns in 2023 about Kite allegedly sending “dick pics” and engaging in troubling conduct. Investigators concluded Madrigal failed to properly elevate the concerns, failed to ensure documentation was created and failed to take sufficient supervisory action despite serving as a captain and one of the highest-ranking members of the agency.

The file also contains witness statements suggesting some employees believed Madrigal had a personal relationship with Kite or that Kite rented property from her. The investigation materials do not establish a romantic relationship between the two, but investigators documented concerns from employees who questioned whether Madrigal’s relationship with Kite affected their confidence she would take action against him.

 Your children will never be safe around these alleged Racine County Child Predators:

 

 RACINE, Wis. — Racine County Sheriff's Captain Cary Madrigal was placed on paid administrative leave Friday, barred from restricted areas of the Sheriff's Office, and is now at the center of growing questions involving four powerful public officials who supported her failed campaign for sheriff: Racine County Sheriff Chris Schmaling, Kenosha County Sheriff David Zoerner, Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson (D), and Union Grove Union High School Board President Diane Skewes. The revelation that Skewes also publicly endorsed Madrigal is particularly significant because Thomas Johnson, 51, the Union Grove school administrator charged with two child pornography felonies, reportedly told investigators that Skewes knew his phones were "clean" and suggested someone from the Racine County Sheriff's Office had contacted her. Madrigal, who lost Tuesday's election, told Kenosha County Eye she had "no comment" when contacted by telephone. With both sheriffs and the district attorney politically connected to Madrigal, questions are mounting about who could independently investigate any improper disclosure of confidential information. Officials have not disclosed why Madrigal was placed on leave, and no evidence has established that she leaked information to Johnson or Skewes.

Secret Affairs, Sex at School, Explicit Voicemails, Alleged Lies And Sudden Resignation: Explosive Court Documents Expose Scandal Behind Union Grove Superintendent’s Child Pornography Arrest

 

 

Union Grove WI.  — Thomas William Johnson, 51, of Burlington, the married Union Grove Union High School District administrator charged Thursday with two child pornography felonies, is at the center of an explosive scandal involving a secret six-year affair with Danielle Marshall, 56, of Mount Pleasant, a longtime Union Grove Elementary School teacher who submitted her retirement or resignation Friday after 30 years with the district. Newly obtained court documents reveal allegations of sexual encounters on school property, sexually explicit voicemails, deleted phone records, and conflicting statements to investigators. Marshall, who is also described as married in the investigative records, submitted her retirement/resignation request just two days after Johnson's arrest and on the same day Kenosha County Eye began questioning school officials about the affair and alleged sexual activity at the elementary school.
