The warden of Waupun Correctional Institution in Wisconsin, Randall Hepp, was unexpectedly jailed just hours before a scheduled news conference to discuss investigations into multiple deaths at the facility. Hepp was booked into the Dodge County Jail on Wednesday morning, with no specific details provided on the reasons for his arrest or potential charges he might face.
State Senator Van Wanggaard revealed that Hepp and several others would be arrested and charged with crimes related to their roles at the prison. Wanggaard, who chairs the state Senate committee overseeing prisons, mentioned that the charges could include felonies, although the exact number of individuals to be charged and the nature of the charges were not disclosed.
