The plaintiff in a Wisconsin case is seeking justice for what he claims to be a wrongful imprisonment based on false allegations. Kenneth M. Gray filed a complaint on January 20, 2026, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin against several individuals associated with the Department of Corrections and the State of Wisconsin.
According to Gray’s complaint, his ordeal began on March 5, 2025, when Alexis Fox made multiple calls to the Oshkosh Police Department, which led to his arrest by Parole Agent Marilynn Hale without being informed of any charges or having his Miranda Rights read. He was detained at Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility and faced allegations that included selling illegal drugs and threatening Fox. These accusations were later found dubious due to Fox’s history of unreliable statements influenced by alcohol use.
Gray argues that his detention violated his constitutional rights under the Fourth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments. He accuses the defendants of deliberate indifference to his confinement conditions and serious medical needs resulting from electronic monitoring. The complaint details how Gray’s employment and education were disrupted during his incarceration from March 6 to July 3, 2025.
Gray seeks various forms of relief from the court: compensation for injuries suffered, punitive damages against individual defendants for their reckless disregard of his rights, injunctive relief compelling changes within the Department of Corrections, reinstatement of lost wages, removal of certain officials from their positions due to abuse of power, and eradication of remaining court costs and restitution.
The legal representation for this case includes Allison Ritter as Gray’s attorney during hearings before Administrative Law Judge Martha C. Carlson. The case is identified as Case No. 26-cv-49-jdp.
