Lisbon Woman Charged After Alleged Threats at Richmond School

The woman, identified in a criminal complaint as Judith Plough, now faces a disorderly conduct count.

Overview

  • The incident unfolded around 1 p.m. when the 70-year-old entered Richmond School property to retrieve a loose dog, according to the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office.
  • Investigators say students tried to catch the dog, the woman made physical contact with two children, and she threatened school staff before leaving.
  • A criminal complaint alleges she told fourth graders she would shoot the teachers and made a throat-slashing gesture, which she told deputies was her brushing back her hair.
  • Deputies later arrested her and initially booked her on recommended charges including terroristic threats, intimidation of a witness, and disorderly conduct; prosecutors filed a disorderly conduct charge, and her bail was set at $1,000.
  • The sheriff’s office has increased patrols around the Lisbon campus as a precaution, and no injuries have been reported.
