The Board Finds:
1. Linda Kilgore of Cameron, Wisconsin claims $8,578.89 for vehicle and property damage allegedly related to her employment as a Probation and Parole Agent with DOC. The claimant states that she served one of her offenders with revocation papers, at which time he threatened her. The revocation hearing was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on July 12, 2002. Around 3:00 a.m. on July 11, 2002, someone propped a lit propane torch under the gas tank of claimant's vehicle, which was parked in the driveway of her residence. The ensuing explosion and fire destroyed the vehicle and various personal items stored in the car, a tree and five bushes, damaged the driveway, and caused smoke damage to the home. An individual named Scott Ristow is suspected in the crime. The claimant states that Mr. Ristow has strong connections to Loren Purintun, the offender scheduled for revocation on July 12. The claimant believes that Mr. Purintun arranged the arson in retaliation for his revocation. The claimant received a settlement payment of $5,164.25 from her homeowner's insurance, but alleges that her actual damages totaled $13,743.14. The claimant states that she accepted the insurance payment under protest because she had to purchase a replacement vehicle for her family because the vehicle destroyed was their only car and they do not have access to public transportation. The claimant believes that the connection between Mr. Ristow and Mr. Purintun proves that this arson was a direct result of her actions as a Probation and Parole Agent and believes that DOC should reimburse her for her uninsured damages.
