BARABOO — Two people were taken into custody Thursday morning in connection with arson at Circus World Museum earlier this week, said Baraboo Police Lt. Robert Sinden.
The two — Kory Evert, 20, and a 16-year-old male — face tentative charges of arson, criminal damage to property and trespassing. Sinden said the charges cover not only the Circus World Museum fire, which damaged an exhibition housing rare circus wagons, but other incidents of graffiti in Baraboo.
Sinden said the suspects were identified with the help of information from the Crimestoppers tip telephone line. Both were released pending a court appearance.
