Wolf, Ginter Sentenced To Prison

Oneida County Sheriff's Department

Two sentences Friday for homicide charges in the Northwoods

. Earlier this week, 41 year old Shannon Wolf entered an Alford plea as part of a plea bargain and was found guilty of 2nd Degree Intentional Homicide for the 2003 death of Kenneth Wells in Rhinelander.

Friday in Rhinelander, Wolf was sentenced to 19 years in prison with 11 years of supervision after his release. Wolf was already serving a prison term for an incident in Rhinelander when his ex-wife Latoya was attacked. The new term will run concurrently, or at the same time,  as his current 12 year prison sentence for the other crime. He has served about 2.5 years for the first crime. Latoya Wolf's testimony against her ex-husband led to the new charges. She is also serving a prison sentence for her role in Wells' death.
