8-28-20 fdl police detective placed on paid administrative leave

A Fond du Lac police detective is under investigation.   Police chief Bill Lamb has confirmed that detective Bill Ledger has been placed on paid administrative leave.   Lamb says because it is a personnel matter the police department will not provide any additional details or information related to this issue.  Earlier this summer  representatives for United for Diversity and Ebony Vision met with Lamb regarding an officer’s conduct stemming from a Facebook post the officer made.   It’s not the first time Ledger’s conduct has come into question.  He came under fire in 2012 when he went on a political rant on Facebook following the District Attorney’s race and in 2016 for a Halloween post on social media that appeared to mock domestic violence.    In 2014 Ledger made an unsuccessful bid for Fond du Lac  County Sheriff.
