Alissa N. Reinke was arrested on suspicion of felony bail jumping and possession of methamphetamine following a traffic stop in the 700 block of St. Clair Street. During the stop, officers learned Reinke, a passenger in the vehicle, had active warrants. In a search of a purse found on the floor of the vehicle, officers located eight syringes that appeared used, two blue tourniquets, a digital scale, two yellow scoops and a plastic container with crystals inside that tested positive for methamphetamine. In 2014, Reinke faced charges related to the drug-related death of Victor Gadzinski of Manitowoc. Timothy L. Miller was charged with reckless homicide in the case and was sentenced to three years in prison with seven years of extended supervision. Toxicology tests showed fentanyl, a narcotic pain medication, was a contributing factor in Gadzinski's death. In a June 2014 Herald Times Reporter article, Manitowoc Police Department Detective Erik Kowalski said Miller bought fentanyl patches from Reinke and then provided them to Gadzinski. Online court records show Reinke was found guilty and sentenced to four years of probation in 2014 for manufacture/deliver Schedule I, II narcotics (fentanyl) and party to a crime manufacture/deliver Schedule I, II narcotics (fentanyl), both felonies. Court records also show Reinke was charged with the following in 2017: On June 2, with possess methamphetamine - second or subsequent offense, a felony; On July 27, with felony bail jumping and misdemeanor possess drug paraphernalia; On Sept. 27, with three misdemeanor counts of issue of worthless checks less than $2,500; and On Oct. 6, with deliver methamphetamine - second or subsequent offense (less than 3 grams).

When a boy of five years he moved to Manitowoc with his parents where his father was a bridge tender on the old Eighth street bridge for 24 years. After receiving his education in both Lutheran and public schools of the city, he joined the local fire departmen in 1905 when 18 years of age. At that time all of the fire fighting equipment was horse drawn and the young fireman enrolled as a driver. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant two years later and in several years was made a captain. Was State President Upon the retirement of Chief J.H. Kratz in 1927, and the promotion of assistant chief James Kuplic to chief, Gaedke was made the assistant chief. He continued in that position until succeeding Kuplic as chief when the latter was named to head the local police department in September, 1936. For years Chief Gaedke had been in charge of the drill schools conducted weekly at the northside station.

ARCHIE GALBRAITH EXPLOSION ON THE ANN ARBOR NO. 5 AT FRANKFORT KILLS THREE MEN Archie Gilbraith, One of Engineers, This City, May be One of Men Killed Outright Wife Leaves For Frankfort Bulletin Mrs. Gilbraith departed this afternoon for Frankfort on Ann Arbor No. 5. Just before she left she received word that her husband’s collar bone had been fractured and that he had been scalded with steam about the face and hands. Later today another report to the Ann Arbor office stated that the body of “A.Gilbert” had been recovered, together with that of Wm. Freeman and Lon Boyd. It is thought the name Gilbert was confused in the message and may be that of Gilbraith and if the message is true, indicated that the local man was killed instead of seriously injured and that the message to Mrs. Gilbraith here announcing only injuries, was sent to allay her fears. Word was received here shortly before noon today of a serious explosion on board the Ann Arbor No. 5 while she lay at her docks at Frankfort, Michigan, resulting in the death of three men, including Second Assistant Engineer, William Freeman. Details are meager and relatives of Archie Gilbraith, one of the engineers, and Louis Hanson, employee of this city, first mate, are anxious as to their safety. First messages today stated that Mr. Gilbraith was badly but not fatally injured. The other two men killed were a coal passer and a water tender. Hanson, according to messages was not near the scene of the explosion and was uninjured. The accident occurred at 9:30 and probably was caused by the explosion of a steam pipe. It is thought that an oversupply of gas was generated by the draft furnaces while the vessel was lying in port awaiting the boarding of a show troupe for Manistique. R.H. Reynolds, marine superintendent, in this city today received the first word of the explosion and is awaiting further details. In the meantime the family of Mr. Gilbraith is awaiting messages telling of the extent of his injuries.

JULIA BARTA GARDNER MRS. I. GARDNER, NEE JULIA BARTA, WRITES NOTE, TELLING INTENTION, PLACES IT UNDER HER PILLOW AND THEN STEALS OUT TO RIVER DOCK Despondent in the belief that she never would recover from tubercular affliction, her mind affected since the death of her babe a year ago and with other trouble that had preyed on her so that she could endure it no longer, Mrs I. S. Gardner, nee Julia Barta of this city, ended all in the river last night leaving a tear stained letter for the family to read when they missed her this morning. In the letter Mrs. Gardner requested her parents not to mourn for her, that she had thought out her solution for herself and refused to be a burden on them any longer and that in the end they would find that she had chosen the better course for she would never be well again. She related how for weeks she had fought off the desire to end her existence in the river and had many times come to the point when she was ready to take the finel step and then became afraid when the actual attempt was to be made. She asked that Mr. Gardner's people be not notified since for it would be expensive to come here from the West and the letter bade them an affectionate farewell. Mrs. Gardner was married five years ago and left with her husband for Cleveland, Ohio, and other cities of this state. Mr. Gardner was tubercular at that time and his wife soon contracted the desease. Recently she returned here and her mind was affected since the death of her baby a year ago. Her family tried in every way to quiet her and set her mind at rest but she was imbued with the desire of committing suicide, though she herself did all she could to fight off the desire. ... She is survived by a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bartha(sic). Mrs Gardner was 28 years of age, sisters, Mrs. Samuel Lewis , Lodi, Mrs. Jos. Kaiser, and the Misses Blanche, Cleveland, Ohio, and Albie, this city. Her brothers are Fred, Lodi, and Emil, this city.

DALE I. GARRIGAN Dale I. Garrigan Slain in Chicago Once Resided In Manitowoc Three Bullets Fired Into His Right Side Dale I. Garrigan, 42, Chicago hotel clerk, veteran of World War II, and former Manitowoc resident, was shot and killed in the lobby of the Waldorf hotel in that city last night by a man identified by the police as Weaver Carrington, 52, a former clerk at the hotel. The murderer escaped but was taken into custody later in a hospital by the police. Witnesses told police the gunman walked up to Garrigan, a former army lieutenant, and fired one shot. Garrigan tried to take the gun away and the man fired three more shots. Garrigan fell with three bullet holes through his right side. The killer dropped his gun into a waste basket, paused at a water fountain to swallow several pills and fled. He dropped a few and they are to be chemically tested to see if they are poisonous. Rivals for Girl Police at the Woodlawn station in Chicago said the shooting possibly grew out of their rivalry for Miss Rita Ullom, 35, a railway clerk and resident of the hotel. Carrington worked at the Waldorf until March. The shots were heard by Miss Ullom in her first floor room. She hurried down, saw Garrigan on the floor and ran to a corner drug store to call police. She fainted in the store and was taken to a hospital. She is to be questioned by the police when she is able to talk. Police Lt. John Murphy said police removed Carrington from a street car in a semi- conscious condition. Physicians at the hospital said he apparently was suffering from an overdose of sleeping powders. Although still in a stuporous condition, Murphy said, Carrington gave an oral statement that he shot Garrigan. He said that he and the dead man had been rivals over a woman hotel patron. Garrigan, whose mother, sister and brother reside here, is to be brought to Manitowoc for burial. Funeral services will be held at 2:45 p.m. Saturday at the Shimek and Schwartz funeral home with burial in Evergreen cemetery. The Rev. F. C. St. Clair will officiate.

He enlisted in the army quartermaster corp in 1941, attained the rank of first lieutenant and took part in the Normandy invasion. He was released from the service in November, 1946, and at that time spent some time in the city before returning to Chicago to take employment at the Waldorf hotel.
