Menomonie Police release sex offender information

MENOMONIE POLICE DEPARTMENT 

SEX OFFENDER INFORMATION BULLETIN

Gary L. Wayerski, DOB 08/16/1955

July 11, 2025

Menomonie Police Chief Rick Hollister is releasing the following information pursuant to Wisconsin State Statute 301.46(2m), which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offender’s release or relocation when, in the discretion of the agency, the release of information will enhance public safety, awareness, and protection. The individual who appears on this notification has been convicted of sex offenses.

Sex offenders have always lived in our communities, but it was not until the WI Sex Offender Registry and the Community Notification Law was enacted that law enforcement was able to share this information with the community. Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate, or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated. 

Release Date:  On July 15, 2025, Mr. Wayerksi will be released from prison to the City of Menomonie and will be homeless. Upon release, Mr. Wayerski will be placed on Intensive Supervision, subject to GPS monitoring with geographic restrictions to Dunn County, and is subject to the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry Program for life. The WI Sex Offender Registry can be located at  https://appsdoc.wi.gov/public.

This offender has served the incarceration sentence imposed on him by the courts. He is NOT wanted by the police at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather, it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public. 

If you have questions regarding this release, you may contact: Trudy Meister-Sex Offender Registry Specialist at (608) 240-5830 or Probation Agent Helen Smith at (715) 232-1159.
