Sheriff's offices in Ashland and Iron County published press releases regarding a man who was wanted in several counties for burglary. It was determined his name is Toby Mullins and that he is 50 years old and resides in Rib Lake in Taylor County.
Toby was wanted for questioning involving the breaking and entering of a cabin on Pine Lake. He was suspected in multiple burglaries in Ashland, Iron, Price, Sawyer, Taylor, and Winnebago Counties. It was believed he was targeting remote cabins in National Forest areas. He has prior convictions for such crimes, as well as crimes of resisting/obstructing and substantial battery.
On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at approximately 12:15 p.m., a deputy in Fond du Lac County was on patrol and observed a man riding a bicycle southbound on Lakeshore Drive in the Town of Friendship. The man matched the description of Toby, and the deputy realized that. He attempted to make contact with the suspect, but Toby fled southbound on his bicycle along Lakeshore Drive. He then abandoned his bicycle and continued on foot onto private property, where the deputy temporarily lost sight of the suspect.
According to the Fond du Lac Sheriff's Office, "Additional deputies, Wisconsin State Patrol troopers, and City of Fond du Lac police officers responded to the area and established a perimeter to assist in locating and apprehending the suspect. A sheriff's office sergeant and K-9 partner were deployed to conduct a track. With the assistance of an unmanned aerial system (drone) providing aerial overwatch and following an approximately 200-yard K-9 track through a dense marsh, law enforcement personnel located the suspect and took him into custody without further incident.
"The suspect was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for medical clearance and will subsequently be transported to the Fond du Lac County Jail."
The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Wisconsin State Patrol, City of Fond du Lac Police Department, Van Dyne 1st Responders, and North Fond du Lac Ambulance.
