A several months long independent outside investigation of a Fond du Lac police detective is over without any criminal charges being brought forward. The nature of the investigation conducted by a special prosecutor from Outagamie County of detective Bill Ledger has never been made public. Fond du Lac city attorney Deb Hoffman says the special prosecutor’s investigation was separate from the police department’s internal investigation which did not proceed during the criminal review. Hoffman says the City is assessing next steps regarding the internal investigation now that the criminal review is complete. Ledger has been on paid administrative leave since last August.
