RHINELANDER - Police accuse an Eagle River woman and her ex-husband of threatening and locking up a nurse practitioner in a Minocqua office last week, according to police.
Wednesday in an Oneida County courtroom a judge decided there was enough evidence to move forward with the case against 39-year-old Jillian Buza. According to a criminal complaint the Buzas locked the practitioner in the Marshfield Clinic office because she was trying to wean Jillian off opioids.
Police said her ex-husband held a hatchet and meat tenderizer to the nurse practitioner's face.
Minocqua Police Department Sergeant David Geiss testified about what Jillian did in that office, in court Wednesday.

RHINELANDER - Nicolet College offers incoming students a faster way to get through the hassle of the college application process.Wednesday's "Quick Start" day in Rhinelander gave students one-on-one attention with career coaches and college advisors.
Nicolet staff walked students through applications, assessments and financial aid to make sure they don't get overwhelmed.
Career coach Angeline von Neupert said "Quick Start" gives students and staff an opportunity to get to know each other.
"It's really neat to get to know the students individually and kind of walk them through the process. It's cool to come together as a team. We're usually scheduling them and then they come back and go back and forth," said von Neupert
Fall classes start in August. If students missed Quick Start day they can schedule a meeting with a Nicolet College advisor.
