The incident was classified as “Misuse of 9-1-1 System – report emergency knowing no emergency exists,” and the call log indicates the incident resulted in an arrest.

The criminal complaint was filed July 20, with Ross County Sheriff’s Deputy Jacob JoHansen listed as the complainant. Reisinger is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on Aug. 21, with a jury trial set for Aug. 25 if necessary.
