Jupiter Police reported that their investigation into Wiseman was conducted in collaboration with the Secret Service and the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office. The investigation was initiated after receiving multiple online crime tips and direct concerns from local residents. A spokesperson for the Secret Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
