On Friday, March 6th the Baron County Sheriff’s Department was contacted by the Washburn County Sheriff’s Department regarding a possible theft case occurring at the Sheriff’s Department.
The Barron County Sheriff’s Department assigned a detective to this case and over the course of that investigation took 35 year old Brian Wyberg into custody and he is being held in the Barron County Jail on charges of Theft, Illegally Possesses Prescription Drugs and Misconduct in Public Office.
Washburn County Sheriff Dennis Stuart says that Wyberg has been employed at the Sheriff’s Office for 6 years and was serving as a dispatch/jailer and that he has placed Wyberg on administrative leave pending the outcome of this investigation.
At this point in the investigation it appears Wyberg is the only Sheriff’s Office employee connected to this investigation. This is all the information we are releasing at this time as this case remains active.
