Auto theft An Antigo man is due to make an initial court appearance Monday on a felony charge of auto theft that allegedly took place in the village of Aniwa in March. Jason W. Schreiber, 37, was arrested on the evening of March 21 after he allegedly sped away from an attempt by a Langlade County sheriff’s deputy to pull him over. The chase led into Shawano County where Schreiber abandoned the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot before he was taken into custody, according to the criminal complaint. The vehicle turned out to have been stolen from a residence in Aniwa, according to the complaint. Schreiber could face a maximum six years in prison and $10,000 fine if convicted of auto theft. He is also charged with three counts of felony bail jumping, which carries the same possible penalty.
