OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/02/2023, members of the Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group (MEG) conducted an undercover drug investigation involving Nathan J. Briese. After a controlled purchase of narcotics, undercover officers attempted to arrest Briese at a Mobil gas station on South Commercial Street in Neenah. Briese ran into the store and toward the rear coolers. Surveillance video showed him turning toward the pursuing officers and reaching into his waistband to pull a handgun. Two undercover officers, one from the Appleton Police Department and one from the Outagamie County Sheriff's Office, fired a total of four rounds, striking Briese. Officers provided medical aid until EMS arrived, but Briese died after being transported to a hospital.
The Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office investigated the shooting. In October 2023, the Sheboygan County District Attorney concluded the officers' use of deadly force was legally justified and declined to file criminal charges. Because of ongoing undercover assignments, the identities of the officers were not publicly released. Surveillance video of the incident was released on October 20, 2023.
