Austen Schalow
Austen Schalow, 27, appeared in La Crosse County Circuit court Tuesday on seven charges, including possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession with intent to deliver narcotics, manufacture/deliver THC, possession with intent to deliver THC, possession with intent to deliver schedule IV drugs, maintaining a drug trafficking place, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Last summer, a confidential informant told officers Schalow had showed them a photo of around 200 marijuana plants in his basement and stated Schalow said he paid a woman with cash or marijuana to come to his home for âsexual favors.â Officers in July 2020 began looking into Schalow, who is under supervision from the Wisconsin Department of Corrections Probation Office for domestic abuse related convictions, and have been monitoring his social media since.
