Sheriff's Office

The Dane County Sheriff’s Office is the lead agency investigating the February 3, 2022  Officer Involved Shooting, which occurred near the intersection of American Parkway and East Park Blvd. in the City of Madison. This was a multi-jurisdictional incident, however no Dane County Sheriff’s Office deputies were involved in the incident.    

Federal, state and local law enforcement were working collaboratively to arrest Quadren Wilson, age 38 of Beaver Dam, when shots were fired. Mr. Wilson was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries and he has since been released from the hospital. Mr. Wilson is currently being held in the Dane County Jail on a DOC hold.  The Dane County Jail Medical Staff is tending to all of Mr. Wilson’s medical needs.     

Sheriff Kalvin Barrett is committed to conducting an objective, methodical and transparent investigation. At this time, investigators continue to interview involved individuals and potential witnesses. We are still processing the evidence collected and continue to look for additional evidence related to the incident. The mission of our investigation is to determine the facts and report the truth.  We ask for the community’s patience as we conduct our investigation.  

We will release additional information when it is appropriate to share and it does not interfere with the integrity of the investigation. 

Citizens who may have witnessed the incident or have video recordings are asked to call the Dane County tip line at (608) 284-6900.
