James Stoltenow

Deputy Sheriff Jim Stoltenow succumbed to injuries he received in an automobile crash on January 20, 1987, on Greenbay Street in Shawano, Wisconsin. Deputy Stoltenow was assisting in a vehicle pursuit of a stolen truck initiated by the Oneida Tribal Police Department en route to set up a roadblock on Wisconsin Highway 29. He was driving behind another patrol car to set up the roadblock when a vehicle pulled into his path. As he attempted to avoid the car, he struck a utility pole and another vehicle. He was transported to St. Vincent Hospital, where he died a week later after never regaining consciousness. Three teenagers were arrested for theft of the stolen truck. Deputy Stoltenow was a United States Navy veteran and had served with the Shawano County Sheriff's Department for eight years.

He was survived by his expectant wife, a son, and parents.
