Sheboygan,WI (WHBL) - Sheboygan Council President Alderman Don Hammond says this case reminds him of the city’s troubled past when recalled mayor Bob Ryan drew media attention for alcohol–fueled run ins with the law
Hammond says,” It sure does. The type of media press we like up here isn’t this type of press.”
Except this time the allegations are more dire, and could land Fourth District Alderman Kevin Matichek Behind bars for at least Sixty Years
The thirty three year old Alderman is charged sexually assaulting a child – possibly as young as age fourteen. Don Hammond calls the allegations, if true,”Disappointing.”
Sheboygan police allege in a criminal complaint that Maticheck had several encounters with the child.
Alderman Hammond says the Common Council members are weighing a number of options on dealing with Maticheck’s seat – which is up for re-election in sixty days
“Certainly we’ve got options. We can remove him. Certainly he has the option of resigning as well,” says Hammond.
Hammond says that he will await more information from a press conference by the Sheboygan Police Department which is scheduled for later today, before charting a course of action.
