Judge moves jail worker misconduct case forward

CRANDON - The case against a Forest County woman accusing her of releasing confidential information as a county jail worker will move forward after a preliminary hearing Monday.

59-year-old Jeanie Pitts faces seven felonies after the Forest County court accepted an amended criminal complaint with one dropped charge and one lowered charge.

Prosecutors believe she used her job at the Forest County Jail to give out confidential information to an informant. That informant had told investigators in September 2014 that Pitts had, in the past, provided him with the names of three other confidential informants cooperating with law enforcement.
