(The Center Square) – No official complaint has been filed after a co-owner of a Sister Bay restaurant and bar allegedly burned a bartender’s Charlie Kirk hoodie.

The Door County Sheriff’s Department said that an officer did receive a call about the incident but the caller did not want to report the incident as the victim of a crime.

A co-owner of Husby’s Food and Spirits in Sister Bay, Chad Kodanko, wrote that he is “stepping away from the business and all of its affairs” after the incident, where he is accused of burning the shirt. Kodanko also resigned his post as a Sister Bay village trustee.

Bartender Robert Meredith said that he will no longer work at Husby’s, according to Fox 11.

The sheriff’s office said that the caller who asked about the incident said that he would speak to an attorney before deciding if he would file charges.

“Recent media coverage has implied that the Sheriff’s Office failed to investigate this matter,” the department wrote on social media. “That implication is incorrect. As of today, December 30, 2025, no party with firsthand personal knowledge has reported this incident as a crime to the Door County Sheriff’s Office.”

Kodanko wrote a post on the Husby’s Facebook page regarding stepping away from the business.

“First and foremost, I want to apologize for my inappropriate behavior and for all of the damage it has caused to the employees, the community, our patrons and my business partners,” Kodanko wrote. “My goal has never been to divide people and my actions did that. Due to threats of violence towards our employees and myself, effective immediately, I am stepping away from the business and all of its affairs.”
