A jury will decide the fate of a former Fond du Lac Police Department officer accused of a crime.
Richard C. Woodruff, 467 Rockrose Drive, appeared in court Tuesday morning for a hearing that resulted in Fond du Lac County Circuit Court Judge Richard Nuss scheduling a two-day trial.
Washington County Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Hanson said all requested documents about the alleged theft of two Wal-Mart gift cards from the Cops for Kids Foundation were delivered to the defense.
Before Woodruff's attorney, Kirk Everson, left the courtroom, he told Nuss he believed he did not receive all discovery information from the prosecution. Nuss said if the Fond du Lac Police Department is withholding any information about the case, that information would be excluded from a jury trial.
Woodruff is accused of using a $100 gift card to partially pay for a power washer June 27 and a $50 card to purchase food on July 5, according to the criminal complaint.
Surveillance videos show a man — identified as Woodruff by a Police Department employee — using the cards, the report states.
Six BP gift cards were also reported missing or had been cashed, according to the complaint.
The criminal investigation was handled by the Sheboygan Police Department.
Washington County District Attorney Todd K. Martens made the charging decision.
