The alleged incident is said to have taken place inside a room at the hotel.
In a statement, the Great Wolf Lodge said they are cooperating with the Fitchburg Police Department and that Ngabe has been suspended.
“We are aware of an alleged incident involving two employees that is currently being investigated by the Fitchburg Police Department. We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to issues of this nature, and are assisting local authorities with their investigation. We have suspended the employee under police investigation and extended our support to the other pack member involved.”

He is due back in court on March 12 for a pre-trial conference.
