Outagamie County human resources director arrested, is jailed in Sauk County

FOX 11 has learned Westbrook was taken into custody in Neenah after multiple agencies, including the Neenah Police Department and the State Department of Justice, executed a search warrant as part of a Kenosha County investigation.

The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office told FOX 11 it won’t be releasing any information about Westbrook’s arrest yet, as it’s part of a much larger investigation where the safety of children is a concern.

According to his LinkedIn account, Westbrook started working for Outagamie County in September of 2023. He worked in a similar capacity for the City of Sheboygan and CESA-6 in 2022 and 2023, staying in each position for less than a year. Before working in human resources, he was the city attorney in Neenah..

Outagamie County officials tell FOX 11 they learned about Westbrook’s arrest Friday morning from law enforcement. Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson’s office released this statement Friday:

We are shocked by the charges and have begun the process to terminate the individual. We will continue to cooperate with authorities and do all that we can to assist in the investigation.

Sauk County sheriff’s officials say Westbrook is scheduled to appear in court on Monday afternoon.
