Portage County District Attorney Tom Eagon said three people — Linda Dietze, 23, of Plover, Carlos Cummings, 25, of Stevens Point, and the victim’s wife, Carla Glodowski, 43, of Rosholt — were each jailed on $50,000 cash bond after appearing via video Thursday in Portage County Circuit Court.
Judge Thomas Flugaur ruled prosecutors presented enough evidence to believe the trio committed a crime, allowing them to be held in jail, and he gave the state until Dec. 2 to formally charge them, Eagon said.
Tuesday afternoon’s shooting seriously wounded 50-year-old James Glodowski of Rosholt, who was hospitalized in Marshfield on Friday in good condition, spokeswoman Carla David said.
According to Eagon, the plot unfolded when Dietze called James Glodowski and told him she had evidence his wife was cheating on him and some money she owed him.
They agreed to meet in Zenoff Park where they play bingo, Eagon said.
After Cummings dropped her off at the park, Dietze walked to Glodowski’s truck, handed him a videotape and shot him four times with a .22-caliber pistol, telling him she was sorry but his wife made her do it, Eagon said.
Glodowski, who was shot once in the head and three times in the shoulder, told investigators Dietze’s first name and said his wife could provide her last name, Eagon said.
Eagon said Carla Glodowski “believed she was in a relationship” with Cummings, she told him she could not get a divorce and said her husband needed to be “gotten rid of.”
Cummings said he knew someone who had a gun, the prosecutor said.
Carla Glodowski indicated to investigators that she and Cummings had a “lock box at a local bank” with $4,000 in it, Eagon said.
Stevens Point Deputy Police Chief Jim Dowling said James Glodowski knew Dietze through his wife.
The shooting caused nearby Stevens Point High School to be temporarily locked down.
