Milwaukee, WI – Kevin Carr, the United
States Marshal for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced the arrest
of Everett Bergemann on October 25, 2012. Bergemann had been wanted by the
Sheboygan Police Department, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections and the
Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department on numerous felony charges, including
Stalking, Probation Violation, Escape and Failure to Surrender.
Approximately three weeks prior to Bergemann's arrest he began to threaten
his ex-girlfriend, her family and her new boyfriend through social media and
text messages. As the days progressed the threats intensified and became
very specific death threats. After the ex-girlfriend’s tires were slashed on
her vehicle, the threats were reported to law enforcement and the warrants
were issued. During the local investigation it was learned that Bergemann
was in possession of a .44 magnum handgun. The ex-girlfriend admitted that
she provided Bergemann with the gun while they were still together. Prior to
the U.S. Marshals involvement, the Sheboygan Police Department attempted to
arrest Bergemann at a local residence, at which time Bergemann fled on foot
and escaped.
The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force (MFTF) were able to track Bergemann to
an Appleton, Wisconsin address. On 10/25/2012, the MFTF, supported by the
Appleton Police Department, converged on the target residence. During the
approach to the rear of the residence Bergemann, and an associate, were
located in a back parking area of the property. Bergemann was arrested
without incident. A consent search of the residence located a cellphone and
several papers that were seized as evidence in Bergemann's current Stalking
charges. However, the .44 magnum handgun was not recovered.
