Waukesha Man Gets Jail, Probation for OWI and Disorderly Conduct Cases

A man who was arrested for violating a domestic abuse no-contact order after his wife’s body was found at the bottom of a staircase last November was sentenced to probation and jail on other charges.

John F. Brannon, 46, of Waukesha was in court Monday where he was sentenced to four months in jail and a $686 fine, plus restitution, for charges of causing an injury by operating while intoxicated and hit-and-run causing injury. 

Brannon was sentenced to 90 days jail in a disorderly conduct case related to a Nov. 27 incident involving his wife, 47-year-old Ginger Brannon.

The jail sentences are consecutive to each other. Brannon will receive 69 days of credit for time he already has served in jail.

Ginger Brannon died Nov. 30 in the 500 block of West College Avenue.

Capt. Dennis Angle recently told Waukesha Patch the investigation into the woman’s death is ongoing and the police department has not forwarded any charges to the Waukesha County district attorney’s office.

The cause of death has not yet been determined, but Angle said the toxicology report showed Ginger Brannon was intoxicated at the time of her death.
