Details

A Madison man was arrested in Juneau County early this morning. He was being sought by the MPD following domestic violence that took place last evening at a storage locker off of Packers Ave., and also near his residence on Cherokee Circle. The suspect's wife said, while they were at the storage facility, her husband struck her with a board, and poured gasoline on her, threatening to light her on fire. He also destroyed her cell phones at that location. She says they returned to their residence, where she struggled with him outside. She cried out for help, and several neighbors came to her aid. She was transported to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The suspect drove away and was picked up later by Juneau County authorities.
