Sheriff B. Fife Is In Wisconsin!!

You may think that Deputy B. Fife is still in North Carolina.  You're wrong.  He moved to Marquette County, WI. and did something just like you'd expect.

And now he'll pay for it.

Brief:  girl goes on school trip, returns early with class due to China Flu concerns.  Comes down with symptoms of China Flu.  Self-isolates, doesn't get better, goes to the hospital.  Doctors run the test, can't confirm China Flu, but agree that she probably has it.

She posts the story on Instagram to warn her HS pals that they, too, may have it.

School District calls the cops, alleging that the girl is "faking it" to get out of classes.  County Sheriff B. Fife (not his real name) sends Deputy, who.............

This rumor had caught the attention of our Public Health Department and she was involved in putting a stop to this nonsense.”...

W.I.L.L. is suing B. Fife.

...The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) filed a lawsuit in federal court Thursday against Marquette County Sheriff Joseph Konrath and a Patrol Sergeant for violating the First and Fourteenth Amendment rights of an Oxford, Wisconsin teen. The lawsuit results from a March incident where Marquette County law enforcement threatened the teen and her parents with arrest unless an Instagram post was removed.  Deputy Counsel Luke Berg said, “There are no circumstances that would allow law enforcement to police social media in this way....
