WXOWLA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Father Patrick Umberger has a preliminary hearing this morning in La Crosse County Circuit Court. The hearings are to show that prosecutors have enough evidence to support the charges.
Umberger was arrested two weeks ago after an investigation by the state's Justice Department and Onalaska Police. Umberger admitted in a criminal complaint that he had used his church owned computer to view and store pornographic images of children. Pending the outcome of the case, the Diocese of La Crosse has suspended him from duties. He was serving as pastor of St. Patrick's in Onalaska at the time of his arrest.
We will have a crew in court today and will bring you more information here on wxow.com and on our Live at Five, 6pm, and 10pm Reports.
