TOWN OF WESCOTT, Wis. — The Shawano County Sheriff’s Office is warning anyone venturing onto the ice after a van fell through Shawano Lake on Tuesday morning.

The driver was delivering food to someone ice fishing on the lake when the vehicle broke through the ice, according to the sheriff’s office.

The driver exited the vehicle and left the area before law enforcement arrived. Deputies later located the driver, who was taken to a hospital and arrested on an "unrelated matter" after being released.
