The Door County Sheriff’s Department and the Sturgeon Bay Police Department want to hear from you if you relied on an 80-year-old Nasewaupee man to do your taxes or give you financial advice. Last Thursday, the two departments served a search warrant to Dale Pautsch after they conducted lengthy, complex fraud investigations into his work.  Pautsch was arrested and remains in custody after his court appearance on Friday. He is charged with four different counts related to money laundering and theft in crimes against an elderly or disabled person. Door County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says they have discovered two victims of Pautsch’s. The fear is that there could be more if people did not do their homework before working with Pautsch or his ROS Consultants, Inc. business.

The investigation is ongoing, so if you have information or worked with Pautsch and ROS Consultants, Inc., you are encouraged to contact Door County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Jon Gilson at 920-746-2555 or Sturgeon Bay Police Department Sgt. Investigator Luke Diebele at 920-746-2429.
