Search warrants served at Rhinelander City Hall in record tampering case

RHINELANDER — Officers from three law enforcement agencies executed search warrants last week at Rhinelander City Hall as part of an ongoing investigation involving alleged misconduct and tampering with public records.

According to the warrant, city administrator Daniel Guild is suspected of failing to release public records in response to requests by the media and law enforcement, as well as “altering email content to present it as the original,” the Northwoods River News reported.

The council is expected to discuss Guild’s possible suspension on Dec. 9.
