RINGLE, Wis. — A Wisconsin fugitive wanted on child sexual assault and child pornography charges hid out for more than three years in a makeshift bunker powered by solar panels and a pedal generator before a hunter stumbled onto him last week, police said.
The door was unlatched so he went inside. He discovered 44-year-old Jeremiah Button, who disappeared in February 2016 just weeks before he was scheduled to stand trial on child sexual assault and child pornography charges. He moved away and called police, guiding them to the bunker's door. A 20-minute stand-off ensued before Button surrendered. Marathon County Sheriff's Deputy Matt Kecker said Button seemed almost glad for human interaction.
Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Stefonek said Button set up solar panels on the bunker's roof to power LED lights, radios, cooling fans and all manner of electronic equipment. He also had a pedal-powered generator for cloudy days. The bunker was small enough that it stayed warm in winter and cool in summer.
