MINOCQUA, Wis. (WAOW) -- An arrest warrant has been issued for Kirk Bangstad, the owner of Minocqua Brewing Company, in connection with a 2021 defamation case.

According to WSAU Radio, Bangstad was found to be in contempt after failing to appear in court in Rhinelander for a hearing on Wednesday. The hearing was in connection with a defamation case where Bangstad was found guilty of making false statements against Lakeland Times Publisher Gregg Walker's family.
