Update: Judge declines arrest warrant for Minocqua Brewing Co. owner
An Oneida County judge has declined an arrest warrant for Kirk Bangstad, owner of Minocqua Brewing Co., according to online court records. The arrest warrant was entered into the record on Wednesday, related to a defamation case filed after Bangstad falsely implied that a newspaper publisher let his own brother die for financial gain. Court records show that the plaintiff in the case, Gregg Walker, filed a notice of motion for sanctions against Bangstad and asked the judge to find the brewery owner in contempt of court and issue an arrest warrant.
