As previously released, on Monday, June 29th, 2020 at about 3:46 AM, the Sauk County Communications Center received a 911 call from a North Freedom residence reporting that someone was throwing something at and breaking the windows of their home, to include the master bedroom windows.

The caller then identified the suspect as Gary W. Dickson, who is the resident’s son and step-son, and that he was shooting a gun at the home and not throwing items.

Based on this investigation, a probable cause statement was presented to and signed by a Sauk County Circuit Court Judge charging Gary W. Dickson, 37 of Reedsburg, with 2 counts of Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide.

Additional charges of two counts of First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety by Use of a Dangerous Weapon, Burglary while armed to an occupied dwelling, Theft of a Firearm and Felony Bail jumping will be referred to the Sauk County District Attorney’s Office within the coming days.
