KESHENA, Wis. (AP) _ A Menominee Nation police officer who was suspended last week shot and wounded a woman and assaulted a man Wednesday before fleeing the reservation, according to a federal arrest warrant.
Gregory G. Bork, 37, is charged with aggravated assault in U.S. District Court. He remained at large Wednesday afternoon, according to the FBI.
“We will pursue locating and apprehending him like any other violent criminal,” FBI agent Raymond Greco said.
Bork, a tribal police officer for four years, is accused of shooting Crystal L. Chapman, 23, in her right leg during a bedroom confrontation early Wednesday at a rural Keshena home.
Michael A. Chevalier, 27, told police he was sleeping at his home with Chapman, his girlfriend, when Bork came into the house and into the bedroom, according to a criminal complaint.
Chevalier’s mother is Bork’s former girlfriend, the complaint said.
Bork yelled at Chevalier and blamed him for the relationship ending, the complaint said.
“Bork repeatedly said he was going to kill Chevalier,” according to the complaint.
Bork and Chevalier got into a fight, and Chevalier was hit in the head with the butt of the gun before Chevalier left the house, the complaint said.
Chapman told investigators she was standing up when Bork pointed the gun at her and shot her once in the leg.
Tribal Police Chief Judy Duquain said Bork was suspended with pay from her 14-officer force last week pending an investigation of a domestic dispute he was involved in while off-duty in Shawano.
That incident involved a niece of his ex-girlfriend, she said.
Duquain said the department had no other discipline problems with Bork.
“To me, this is a little bit out of his character,” Duquain said.
Greco said law enforcement agencies in a five-state area were told to watch for Bork, who is possibly driving a 1992 burgundy Ford Ranger.
“We have no information whether he is here or has completely fled the area,” Greco said.
The gun used in the shooting was Bork’s personal weapon, not his department firearm, Duquain said.
