Two charged with attempted burglary

Suspects caught on security cameras

Jared W. Mande, 28, Scandinavia, and Chadwick M. Beyersdorf, 30, Weyauwega, are charged with attempted burglary and criminal damage to property as party to a crime.

Mande is also charged as a repeat offender and with obstructing an officer.

Around midnight on Friday, May 18, 2018, Waupaca County deputies Dan Lewinski and Nate Nelson and Iola Police Officer Kurt Field responded to an alarm at Sandbur Corners at the corner of County Trunk E and State Highway 161 in the Town of Helvetia.

Officers found broken glass at the entrance, but no evidence of entry.

The damage was estimated at $1,600.

According to the criminal complaint, video surveillance showed two men wearing blue latex gloves, glasses and bandanas over their faces, slamming a splitting maul into the glass door.

When the door was hit for the third time, an audible alarm was activated, and the men fled the store on foot.

Shortly after 12:30 a.m., Deputy Bill Zeamer arrived with his K-9 partner, Arrow (now deceased).

They tracked the suspects north on County E to a field where tire tracks indicated a vehicle had been parked there recently.

Arrow found a plastic bottle of Nature’s Touch chocolate milk near the site where the vehicle had been parked.

The bottle was sent to the state crime lab for DNA analysis.

Around the same time, Deputy Josh Krueger reported seeing a vehicle parked in Ogdensburg.

Its license plate number was registered to Mande, who was on probation for carrying a concealed knife.

Probation officers, accompanied by deputies, went to Mande’s home on Smokey Valley Road in Scandinavia.

Mande told investigators he and Beyersdorf had been at home the night of the attempted burglary.

The officers reported finding blue latex gloves that matched those worn by the suspects seen in the video.

They also found bottles of the same brand of chocolate milk in Mande’s refrigerator.

Mande was swabbed for DNA.

On Nov. 11, 2018, test results from the state crime lab linked the DNA from the milk bottle found near the attempted break-in to Mande.

Mande was convicted of possession of narcotics and felony bail jumping on April 29, 2016, and placed on three years of probation.

On Feb. 22, 2018, Mande’s probation was revoked, and he was sentenced to 14 months in state prison.

On April 24, 2018, Mande was released from Dodge Correctional Institution on extended supervision.

On May 8, 2018, Beyersdorf was sentenced to 120 days in jail with 85 days credit and work release privileges after his probation was revoked for possession of marijuana, misdemeanor bail jumping and disorderly conduct.

Mande and Beyersdorf are not currently in custody and, according to the Department of Corrections, Mande has absconded.
