(Waupun) Dodge County’s District Attorney has dropped charges against one of the former Waupun Correctional workers who was arrested last summer. A felony misconduct in office charge against 42-year-old Jeramie Chalker of Brandon was dismissed.
He no longer faces any charges in connection with inmate deaths at the prison. Chalker met with investigators and told them he was instructed by his supervisor at the prison to fill out the rounds sheets, and that he was just following chain of command.
District Attorney Andrea Will says dismissal of the charge was in the “interest of justice.” Former Warden Randall Hepp and several other former employees are still charged in connection with the prison deaths in Waupun.
