A Glenwood City police officer and two employees with the St. Croix County sheriff’s office all resigned last month amid allegations of sexual improprieties, according to public records released to the Leader-Telegram via an open records request.

Joe Heath resigned Aug. 3 from the Glenwood City Police Department after an investigation indicated he had sexual relations with a number of women, including at the police station.

Erik Dunn and Erica Balcerek resigned from St. Croix County employment after reports indicated the two were involved in a sex act in a room off a hallway outside the clerk of courts office in June.

Those resignations come on the heels of a revelation in July that Hudson police officer John Worden resigned in May for spending about half his work time for personal business and admitting using police resources for nearly 100 sexual encounters while on duty.

Heath, of Plum City, started with the Glenwood City department in 2003.

Chief Robert Darwin declined Wednesday to elaborate on the investigation that led to Heath’s resignation, saying only that he initiated the probe in mid-June after hearing rumors about Heath’s conduct.

Darwin expressed concern that Heath’s actions tarnish the department and police in general.

St. Croix County sheriff’s Investigator James Haefner and Lt. Cathy Borgschatz conducted the investigation of Heath, which indicates he had sexual contact, conversation and intercourse with numerous women while he was on and off duty.

The investigators interviewed several women about their sexual activities with Heath, but reports suggest there may be more women whom Heath had sexual relations with over the years.

“The investigation was limited in numbers because we felt there was ample policy violations for the Chief Bob Darwin and Glenwood City to act in a disciplinary manner,” according to the report.

One instance indicates Heath was having sexual relations with a woman who was using methamphetamine and did nothing to report her use and did not notify her probation agent.

That woman told her probation agent about the relationship with Heath, which triggered the investigation.

Reports indicate Heath, while on duty and wearing his uniform, attempted to pursue a sexual relationship with a woman, who said she later admitted to performing sex acts with him while he was off-duty because she felt pressured because of his job.

One woman said she had sex with Heath seven times between 2014 and 2015, five times while he was on duty, including in the Glenwood City police headquarters while he was in uniform and wearing a gun.

That same woman said Heath sent her up to 20 photos of his penis, including some while he was on duty in his squad car.

No criminal charges have been filed against Heath, who could not be reached Wednesday for comment.

Darwin, chief since 2003, said his office is in the process of filling the vacancy.

In the St. Croix County case, separation agreements between the county and Dunn and Balcerek indicate their resignations were effective Aug. 1. Both failed to conduct themselves to necessary standards of conduct, according to the agreements.

Sheriff John Shilts on Wednesday said an investigation started when word was spreading about a possible incident between the two.

Dunn worked part time for the county until becoming a deputy, a process server and later a court services officer, all total about 10 years.

Balcerek, a law enforcement clerk, worked about six years with the county.

According to records, Dunn was in the court security office across from the clerk of courts office on June 3 when he summoned Balcerek for computer software assistance.

Balcerek said she and Dunn were about to leave the room with one-way windows when Dunn kissed her and asked her to perform a sex act. “It seemed like a dare,” Balcerek reported.

Balcerek said she performed the act after Dunn exposed himself and then quickly left the room and went back to her office. She said there were no previous sexual encounters with Dunn, but said he had groped her at other times.

Dunn, in a letter to the county, apologized “for any embarrassment” he caused the county, the department and Shilts. In another note, he said the incident lasted about 30 seconds, and the two stopped “due to the fear of being caught.”
