Monroe County D.A.; Kelsey Charge Was Serious One

Former Tomah alderman and mayoral candidate LeRoy Kelsey was found guilty

Thursday of felony false swearing. The charge came about when WIZM news, back in March, learned that Kelsey lied about his 1990 felony conviction on forms declaring his candidacy for public office in Tomah. He was found guilty of theft from the Sparta American Legion back in 1990. Monroe County District Attorney Kevin Chroninger tells us not matter the sentence, it was a serious charge.
