MADISON, Wis. — A Chippewa Falls man faces multiple charges following his indictment by a federal grand jury in the Western District of Wisconsin. Michael Raskie Jr., 42, is accused of firearm possession as a convicted felon, along with possessing unregistered silencers.
The indictment details that Raskie allegedly possessed the firearms and silencers on January 14 of this year. His case came to the attention of law enforcement through a collaboration involving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Madison Crime Gun Taskforce, the Lake Hallie Police Department, and the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office.
Possessing a firearm is a serious offense for anyone with a felony conviction, and the inclusion of silencers adds further complication to Raskie’s legal troubles. The investigation highlights ongoing efforts by local and federal law enforcement agencies to address gun violence and illegal firearms possession in the region.
The consequences Raskie may face could be significant if convicted on any of the charges, reflecting the stringent laws governing firearm ownership and regulation.
As this case unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the collaboration among various law enforcement agencies in tackling firearm-related crimes, with a focus on public safety and community vigilance.
