Jesse Hansen-Schumann
WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI (WSAU) — A Wood County jail inmate has entered a plea for charges of solicitation of intentional homicide.
Jesse Hansen-Schumann entered a not guilty plea on Thursday. Investigators believe he was plotting to kill two Wood County correctional officers because they had previously held him accountable for disciplinary infractions. According to the complaint Hansen-Schumann had filed more than 40 grievances against the officers, saying they were making up lies about him.
A fellow inmate, who has not been named, said Hansen-Schumann approached him asking for help with the plot, offering to kill the fellow inmate’s spouse in return.
Investigators say that the plot involved jumping the officers while standing in an area of the jail that doesn’t have security camera coverage.
The second inmate said they didn’t want anything to do with the plot and didn’t want to get in trouble if Hansen-Schumann did carry it out.
In addition to soliciting homicide charges the 32-year-old also faces misdemeanor counts for disorderly conduct and bail jumping. A not guilty plea on those counts was entered at a previous appearance.
Hansen-Schumann is being held on bond. His next court appearance is November 22nd.
