“A local blogger who purports to be a media organization began to circulate unverified information on his website and social media accounts,” Sheboygan Police Chief Christopher Domagalski said in a statement posted on the Department’s website. “The Information he posted and shared was not verified in any way as true or accurate and could have been found to be completely false with very little effort. His actions are irresponsible and demonstrate a complete lack of judgment and any sense of professional ethics or common sense. His actions created unnecessary fear within the Sheboygan and South High Communities!”

Chief Domagalski was furious with the website’s owner, who he identified as a 24 year-old Sheboygan resident named Asher Heimermann, and cautioned the public to “understand that ‘having a website and Facebook page does not make you a journalist!’ False Information that is spread without being verified as accurate or factual is dangerous, creates fear and damages communities.”

Asher Heimermann. Cassandra Haen knew that name all too well.

I heard Sheboygan mentioned on TV today, and that reminded me of the kid who used to promote himself here. Looks like he has become a real menace to his hometown.

1. I thought this was about the Sheboygan man who clogs toilets in the ladies rooms

A man has been jailed for repeatedly clogging up the women’s toilets at his workplace.

Patrick D Beeman was given a 150 day sentence and three years of probation after he was found guilty of five counts of criminal damage.

The 26-year-old from Wisconsin was caught after police discovered an overflowing toilet in the women’s bathroom at a community centre had been blocked by a plastic bottle, according to a criminal complaint. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/womens-toilets-clogged-man-jailed-patrick-beeman-wisconsin-sheboygan-a8984121.html

I think the upshot here is we shouldn't trust anyone from Sheboygan.

9. No, you've proven yourself to be ok

We need a few of Sheboyganians to be trustworthy enough that they can keep the others in check.

3. He was an annoying teenager

And now he is a jerk of an adult.

5. He seems to be making lots of enemies for being so young.

He may just end up pissing off the wrong person.

6. I believe we here at DU need some time to come together and discuss the implications of this story.

Conference call in 15 minutes, everyone?

10. LMAO!

Oh, I forgot about that!

7. Why was Sheboygan mentioned?

As to Heinie-man, he's faded back into the woodwork.

BTW, I live in Sheboygan, so yes I do have an interest in this.

11. It was just included as one of the areas hit by severe storms over the weekend.

But hearing the name of the town brought back memories of the shameless little self-promoter, so I did a quick google on him. I expected to just see more of his self-promotion, but I was surprised at the level of callousness described in the article. He went from being an annoying little shit to a truly despicable person.

12. He still is a self-appointed "important guy."

Has a Facebook page, that doesn't have much on it.

13. Holy Cow! There is a FB group about him, with 645 members too! 'Sheboygan Against Asher'

"Our town has its own "Dennis The Menace" his name is Asher Heimermann. This page is for Sheboygan County who knows how cruel this person can be."
