Prairie du Chien Police Make Arrest For Stolen Weapons

Prairie du Chien police have made another arrest tied to stolen weapons. 25 year old Jonathan Baum of La Crosse was arrested at this residence and charged with possession of stolen property and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Prairie du Chien police and the La Crosse County Sheriff’s Department executed a search warrant at Baum’s residence related to numerous thefts within Prairie du Chien and Crawford County. During the search of the residence, investigators located stolen firearms and ammunition. It marked the fourth search warrant executed this month tied to a string of local thefts. Last week, authorities reported that four people — two from Prairie du Chien and two from La Crosse — were arrested on several charges following a series of burglaries and thefts that involved bicycles, firearms and vehicles that were investigated by authorities in Clayton and Allamakee counties in Iowa and in Crawford and La Crosse counties in Wisconsin.
