MINOCQUA - The publisher of the Lakeland Times has filed a motion to place a lien on Kirk Bangstad’s interest in the Minocqua Brewing Company to ensure payment of the defamation judgements against Bangstad and the company. If the judgement is not paid in a timely manner, the court could force the sale of the company to fulfill those obligations. Wisconsin state law says that a judgement creditor can request a charging order against a judgement debtor to ensure satisfaction of the judgement. The two judgments total over a million dollars. To date, Bangstad has not made any effort to make payments on the judgements and has indicated he has no intent of doing so.
