Sergeant Brent Wilmot – Vilas County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In October 2020, Sergeant Wilmot was involved in an incident where inmate Donna Christensen exhibited disruptive behavior, including kicking her cell door and throwing a food container. Wilmot entered the cell, removed Christensen’s mattress and blanket as a sanction, and physically restrained her against the bunk for approximately 10 seconds. This incident was part of a series of events leading up to Christensen’s suicide in the Vilas County jail, resulting in a lawsuit alleging inadequate mental health care and supervision. The case, Christensen v. Weiss, was filed in 2022 and is ongoing.
