Steven Brandenburg was charged with attempted criminal damage to property in Ozaukee County for allegedly sabotaging 500+ doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
GRAFTON, Wis. - A former Aurora pharmacist is now charged in connection with the alleged sabotage of 500+ doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Steven Brandenburg, 46, appeared in Ozaukee County court on Tuesday, Jan. 19 -- now charged with attempted criminal damage to property, a misdemeanor.
Brandenburg is accused of intentionally removing hundreds of doses of the Moderna vaccine from refrigeration in December 2020 at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton. According to court filings, Brandenburg did this out of a belief they were unsafe -- and would alter a person's DNA.
