CHILTON – A Town of Brillion woman facing trial in May for stealing over $300,000 from a neighbor is now wanted as a fugitive. A warrant for felony bail-jumping was issued on Friday, March 17, for Jessica L. Bethke, 29, after the Calumet County Sheriff’s Department was unable to locate her.

Back in October of 2016, she was released from jail under $2,500 cash bond after she was charged in Calumet County with felony theft by false representation. At the time, she was also charged in Brown County with felony possession of cocaine with the intent to deliver.

When Bethke was released from the Calumet County Jail on bond, she was under orders to live at her father’s home in the Town of Brillion and to be home every night from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

On February 24, sheriff’s department Sergeant Eric Voland learned that she had not been at the home north of Brillion since late October.

Anyone knowing her whereabouts is asked to call the sheriff’s department at 920-849-2335.
