Racine County sheriff: Supervisor posted man's bail, should be removed
Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling on Wednesday, Nov. 24 called for the immediate removal of a county supervisor who allegedly posted a man's $10,000 bail.
Video provided to FOX6 News by Schmaling shows that man – identified as Adrian Jefferson – with a high-powered weapon. The sheriff said Jefferson is currently facing a multitude of charges, accused of stealing SWAT equipment from a SWAT operator's home; that includes a pistol, sniper rifle and another fully-automatic rifle.
Jefferson is also facing felony charges of armed robbery, carrying a concealed weapon and intentionally pointing a firearm at law enforcement, the sheriff said.
The man Schmaling wants to see removed from the Racine County Board of Supervisors is Nick Demkse. The sheriff provided a photo that he says shows Demske posting Jefferson's bail.
By law, Jefferson is entitled to bail set by the court. However, in a statement, Schmaling said the supervisor's actions "put the public in grave danger" – and called for his immediate removal.
FOX6 News reached out to Demske for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Nick Demske (he/him/his) lives in Racine, Wisconsin, and serves in elected office as the County Supervisor of Racine County’s First District. Nick works at the Racine Public Library in a role he designed himself. His title is “Community Resources Librarian” and the role is built off of community organizing models.
In 2017, and every year since, Racine was identified as one of the 5 worst cities in the U.S. for Black Americans to live in. In 2019, Wisconsin was identified as the most segregated state in the nation. It is also the state that incarcerates more Black men per capita than any other. Racine has one of the most significant Black communities in the state and a large undocumented community, as well, whose challenges are very difficult to quantify. Because of this, Nick’s work focuses on connecting Black and Brown communities with access to library resources in atypical and innovative ways.
In 2019, Nick participated in an ALA workshop for librarians to become Racial Healing Circle Practitioners and to bring that practice back to the communities they serve. With his colleague and friend Elkid Alvarez Maldonado, Nick has helped bring this model to Racine and beyond, via both in-person and virtual events. Nick is also Founder and Director of the BONK! Music and Poetry Series, which for over a decade now has focused on bringing artists of color and other underrepresented voices to Racine. Past features include Afaa Michael Weaver, Tyehimba Jess, Naomi Shihab Nye, John Murillo, Kimberly Blaeser, Ross Gay, Timothy Liu, Erika L. Sánchez and many others.
