Jason P. Gohlke, age 29, Edgerton, WIMr. Gohlke was arrested for Battery.
Victim(s)
Male, age 44, MadisonDetails
An Edgerton father told a police officer that he "lost it" when a motorist began shaking his head at him as he tried to quiet his toddler son. The men were inside different cars that were both stopped for a light on S. Gammon Rd. Saturday afternoon. The victim, who was driving, said he didn't approve of how the father was treating the child, and he showed his disgust with a slow shake of the head. The father, who was in the passenger seat of his vehicle, interpreted the victim's head movement as a way of calling him a bad parent. That's when he got out, walked over to the victim's open window, and delivered a punch to the 44-year old man's head. Witnessing the whole thing was an off-duty Middleton Police official. He called in the needed information in order for the MPD to contact both victim and suspect. The victim said he was going to call 911, but decided not to after he lost site of the suspect's vehicle. He was grateful that a concerned citizen had called in the road-rage incident.Released 08/20/2012 at 11:04 AM by PIO Joel DeSpain
