EAGLE RIVER, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – A Northwoods man is in custody after being on the run for six months.
A press release from the Vilas County Sheriff’s Office says that Frank Schuman was arrested on Saturday, January 7, 2023, for a charge of substantial battery related to domestic violence.
According to the press release, “at the time of the arrest, Frank Schuman was out on felony bond for numerous offenses against women, to include substantial battery, false imprisonment, reckless endangering safety, and strangulation.”

Following OCSO’s request, another victim came forward. Villas County commended Oneida County’s message and is asking for anyone with information about Schuman’s criminal activity.
Schuman appeared in court Monday, January 9, and is being held in the Vilas County Jail on a $15,000 cash bond with conditions. Schuman is to have no contact with the victim, be fitted with a GPS bracelet, not leave Oneida and Vilas County, and have no weapons or firearms.
His next appearance in court is Friday, January 13, 2023.
