Fox Crossing Municipal Judge Len Kachinsky appeared in court Monday as a defendant in a felony stalking case.

The court set a signature bond at $1,000. Conditions of the bond state that Kachinsky cannot go to the Fox Crossing Municipal Building for any reason except to pay bills or absentee voting.

He was also ordered to provide a DNA sample to the Sheriff's Office.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has suspended Kachinsky from the bench, saying he cannot "properly discharge his official duties."

Action 2 News obtained a criminal complaint detailing the allegations against Kachinsky.

Kachinsky's court clerk says he's been harassing her since April of 2017, then retaliated against her to the point of serving her with termination papers in March and describing knowledge about where her extended relatives live.

According to the criminal complaint, the clerk says Kachinsky's behavior became increasingly bizarre after he returned to work after a long illness: Asking her to join in photographs for his daughter, knowing that her mother visited because of her Facebook location, and one time staring at her and making cat noises for 45 minutes. She says after she asked him to keep their relationship professional, he would request meetings but then only discuss personal matter.

She went to village officials, who told Kachinsky repeatedly to stop the harassing behavior. But his interest in her personal life continued.

Then in November, Kachinsky sent her an email citing "continued surveillance by the Administration," and warning about bringing "fire and fury" to the municipal building. The police chief questioned Kachinsky that same day. Kachinsky told the chief he didn't own weapons and didn't mean that phrase in a violent way, but then added if he did have weapons "you would have something."

In December, Kachinsky requested a letter of reprimand be placed in the court clerk's personnel file, saying she never responded positively to a birthday card, Christmas greetings or a Facebook post praising her, or when he brushed snow off her car.

In February, she obtained a restraining order from Winnebago County court to stop the harassing behavior. Police say Kachinsky sent her an email "almost immediately after this hearing."

Kachinsky is charged with Felony Stalking and two misdemeanor counts of Violating a Restraining Order.

He's due back in court on Sept. 27.

If convicted, the charges can total 5 years behind bars.

Kachinsky served as Brendan Dassey's public defender following Dassey's arrest for the murder of Teresa Halbach in Manitowoc County.

The attorneys who would appeal the case argued that Kachinsky provided ineffective counsel for Dassey, who was later convicted of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide.

Kachinsky's effort to get Dassey a plea deal was detailed on the Netflix docuseries "Making A Murderer."

Dassey's case was appealed up to the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court
