On Tuesday, Jan. 15, the Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office was notified and began an investigation of two separate incidents involving South Winneshiek High School students.

One of the incidents occurred at the high school in Calmar, while the other occurred in rural Winneshiek County near Fort Atkinson. Both incidents involved assaults that occurred on a student.

On Monday, Jan. 28, the Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office completed the investigation and submitted the case to the prosecutor.

As a result of the investigation, the Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office filed charges on five current and former South Winneshiek students.

Braxton Smith was charged in adult court with aggravated assault with intent to commit sexual assault, while four additional juveniles were referred to juvenile court.

Due to public information laws, the Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office is not able to release any additional details pertaining to the four juveniles.

The Winneshiek County Attorney’s Office turned over the prosecution of the cases to the Allamakee County Attorney’s Office due to a conflict of interest.
