In September 2023, Sheriff Hakes was the subject of a closed session meeting by the county board, which his attorney claimed violated Wisconsin’s Open Meeting Law. The meeting discussed alleged misconduct by Hakes without providing him prior notice or an opportunity to defend himself. The attorney argued that this lack of due process was unfair and potentially illegal.
