Your mind can be at ease now knowing that an attempted murder suspect who officials warned may be in the Kewaunee County or Door County area is now in custody. Officials arrested Cody Krueger, who was wanted in connection to an attempted murder in Oconto, around 7:15 AM on Saturday morning near the town of Lena. Krueger had been known to frequent the Algoma area, which was listed as a potential hiding spot in the week-long pursuit, along with Door County. 

Officials received a call about a reckless driver in Lena on Friday around 3:15 PM and the driver, identified as Krueger, was able to flee from the pursuit on foot. After receiving a tip about Krueger’s whereabouts, officials executed a search warrant at a Lena residence but did not locate Krueger until Saturday morning, when he was found hiding in a wooded area. The Oconto Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Oconto Police Department, Suring Police Department, Gillett Police Department, Oconto Falls Police Department, Lena Police Department, The Marinette County Sheriff’s Office, Brown County Sheriff’s Office, Wisconsin State Patrol, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and Oconto County Emergency Management.
