“There is no basis for any type of allegation for felony criminal activity. None,” said Kelemen’s attorney, Jim Birnbaum. “We will vigorously defend against any such suggestion.”

Campbell Chairman Scott Johnson said Kelemen continues to work while town board members await a charging decision. He said he did not know what sanction the chief would face if prosecutors file charges.

“I think on the surface it sounds worse than what actually happened,” Johnson said.

La Crosse police launched an investigation in January when Luce discovered someone had used his name and email address to register him on pornography and dating websites and on healthcare.gov.

Investigators through subpoenas found the internet address used to register Luce on Match.com belonged to the town of Campbell, and the address for the insurance website matched Kelemen’s home computer. Of the sites visited from those two computers, only representatives from Match.com and Selectquote.com responded to police.

La Crosse police sent the investigation to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department to avoid a conflict of interest.
