Good morning, I'm Wayne Ballester for Civic Media News.
Authorities in Winnebago County are investigating the deaths of three people at a home in the 500 block of Division Street in the village of Winnick County.
Winnick County and Omro Police and Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to the residence shortly before 7 p.m.
Friday night for a medical incident and welfare check.
Deputies found three deceased individuals inside the home.
Due to the circumstances of the incident, Winnick County Police requested the Sheriff's Office become the primary investigating agency.
Sheriff's officials say based on evidence
at the scene and information gathered during the investigation, this was determined to be an isolated incident and there is no danger or threat to the public.
A 19-year-old fondle-like man wanted in connection with a recent prowling incident turned himself in last Thursday.
Fondle-like police had obtained a nationwide felony bail jumping arrest warrant for Justice Butson in connection with a July 22nd prowling incident in the 500 block of Rockrose Drive.
Police executed a search warrant in the 1600 block of Primrose Lane Thursday trying to locate Butson.
He wasn't there but turned himself in later that afternoon.
Home surveillance from the July 22nd
incident helped the investigation.
Police were concerned because of multiple home entries and attempted home entries in the neighborhood this past February.
Butson was booked into the Fond du Laie County Jail on the active felony arrest warrant.
Meanwhile, storm cleanup efforts will continue today as crews work to remove storm damage debris across targeted areas from Monashia, Nina and Fox Crossing after a tornado hit the area last Monday.

Bob Nelson has more for Civic Media News.
City Administrator Adam Sontag says they had to wait on the equipment and materials.
Slowing down the project is the sanitary sewer portion.
Sontag says they hit bedrock, which
put them behind.
When sewers laid, they usually do about 200 to 250 feet a day.
They were at about 50 feet a day.
So it took a lot longer to get the sewer in in that stretch, but we're working with the contractors to try to push forward a more aggressive schedule.
That stretches street to where the bedrock was from Scott Street to East Water Street.
Sontag says as they ready for the State Highway 23 project in the city in 2030 they decided to upsize the sanitary sewer from 6 inch to 10 inch.
The Houston Street project is a total reconstruction project including water, sanitary sewer, road, sidewalk, driveway, and curb and gutter replacement.
