someone At that lime Bauer faced me and I saw him bnng hiS hands out In front of him At that

bouncers and as the area was very confined approximately 3 feet Wide by approximately 6 feet long
Case # 154206 PO STEPHEN E HEIMSNESS 2792 Page 3 of6
I told the bouncers that we did not wish their help at that time Police Officer Urso and I repeatedly
ordered Bauer to get on the ground but he did not do so and he continued to hold his left arm out and
stiff arm me In the face With Police Officer Ursa s help I was then able to direct Bauer onto the floor
In that confined area where he continued to resist our efforts I did feel him turning back and forth
and pushing against me With hiS left hand on my torso
As Bauer was confined In a small area and we were unable to move to any POSition of advantage I
then grasped Bauer S outstretched left arm at hiS Wrist near hiS left elbow and dragged him to the west
out Into the portion of the entryway several feet mto the bar area
As I was dOing thiS Bauer did turn on hiS Side and continued to resist efforts by twisting and turning
and I did feel a reSistive tension In Bauer S left arm Police Officer Ursa and I repeatedly ordered
Bauer to get onto hiS stomach but he did not do So
As I know from profeSSional experience In working the State St area for several years on the night
shift at bar time bar room floors are often littered With debriS including bottles and broken glass
Given the nature of the InCident up until thiS pomt that Bauer had struck someone In Ihe face Wllh the
glass breaking I did not Wish Bauer to gain any advantage on us or be able to pick anything up and
use It as a weapon against us I then delivered several kicks uSing my right leg to Bauer S back
ordering him to get on hiS stomach DUring these kicks Bauer did turn on hiS stomach and I was able
to drag him slightly further out Into the bar room I continued to apply approximately 2 more kicks
ordering Bauer to place hiS hands behind hiS back because by thiS time I had lost gnp on Bauer s left
hand and It was not under control I did see thai when I lost the grasp on Bauer s left hand he did
place It under hiS body
By thiS time Bauer had come to a prone position lYing on hiS stomach however hiS hands were not
controlled and I did not know the location of hiS left hand DUring the times that I had dragged Bauer
out Into the bar room area hiS jacket had been pulled up over hiS head and I could not see hiS head
nor where hiS left arm and hand were I then got down to my knees and I did deliver several knee
strikes uSing my right knee I did apply approximately 4 10 5 knee strikes ordering Bauer to place hiS
hands behmd hiS back After the last knee slnke I delivered I did hear Bauer state Okay okay
And I did see him put hiS left hand out Bauer had crossed hiS left hand across the front of hiS body
and It was under hiS coat on the fight Side of thiS body I did reach out and grasp onlo thiS hand and
In dOing so my hand went underneath Bauer s coat which Will stili over hiS head I Immediately felt
that the coat was wet and once I grabbed onto hiS Wrist I felt that hiS arm and hand were wet as well
I then pulled back the jacket which was over Bauer s head and I saw that there was an area of blood
all over the floor I saw that my left hand was also covered With blood and that there was blood all
over Bauer s face and head
I then brought Bauer s hand around to hiS left Side and to the small of hiS back where he was then
handcuffed
DUring the midst of the struggle With Bauer Dispatch did ask for an update on our status and I was
able to Inform them that we were attempting to take a reSistive subject Into custody and other officers
did respond In to assist us
Once Police Officer R OrviS had arrived he did put on rubber gloves In order to mOnitor and conlrol
Bauer and Police Officer Ursa and I did release our grasp on Bauer In order to wash hiS blood off of
us I saw that there was blood on my jacket sleeves my hands and my Uniform pants I also saw thai
while I was watching my hands that there was blood smeared on the right Side of my face where
Bauer had stiff armed me

Case # 154206 PO STEPHEN E HEIMS NESS 2792
Page 4 of6
I did request Fire Rescue to respond to our location as Bauer had been bleeding profusely from the
face as a result of the struggle They did respond and Bauer was brought to the ambulance where he
was placed on the gurney and taken to Menter Hospital Police Officer Sheehy and E Becker did go
to Menter Hospital In order to maintain custody of Bauer Police Officer Sheehy did ride In the
ambulance with Bauer In case he became reslslive with Fire Rescue staff
I then spoke with one of the security staff at State St Brats Pischke He stated that he was standing
InSide the bar room and saw the victim later Idenllfled as Schmallng standing In the aisle between
the bar and the tables ThiS aisle was located on the west Side of the bar room
Pischke stated he believed Schmaling was faCing west partially towards the bar and partially north
towards the front of the bUSiness when he saw Bauer reach across a couple of patrons who were
standing between them with glasses and hit Schmaling In the face with It caUSing the glass to break
Pischke did not see the beginning of thiS InCident which led up to Bauer striking Schmallng With the
glass but he did hear staff members tell him that It appeared a fight was about to break out involVing
Bauer and that IS why he moved to that area
I asked Pischke If he knew who had struck Bauer With that glass and he told me that It was a subject
they had detained and that had run from me and In turn we had taken Into custody ThiS subject was
Bauer
I did go outSide State St Brats as I saw there were several people outSide It appeared that there
were 2 distinct separate groups on each Side of the street At that lime It became apparent to me that
one group on the odd Side of the 600 block In front of State St Brats were fnends of the vlcllm and
that the subjects on the even Side directly across the street were fnends of Bauer I could hear the
friends of Bauer yelling across the street stating that somebody that they had known had been
Involved In a fight With Bauer Upon Bauer being brought outSide and then hiS companions saw that
he had been Injured and had blood on hiS face and clothing they then changed their focus onto the
pOlice making statements to the affect of The cops fucked Jacob up and other statements that the
police had beat Bauer At the time of the inCident none of those subject to my knowledge were
InSide the bar and were not direct witnesses The phYSical state of Bauer was very upsetting to these
subjects and approximately 3 or 4 of them repeatedly walked Into the street and began to walk up to
and crowd the ambulance where Bauer was being seen and being placed In the back of the
ambulance Those SUbjects had to be repeatedly ordered to get back away from the officers as well
as the ambulance and to get back on the Sidewalk I did see Police Officer C Hemming repeatedly
order these subjects to get back and they stated to her that they did not need to get back and they
would not do so Several other officers also had to order these subjects back multiple times Once
the group went back onto the Sidewalk It was only a matter of a few seconds before they became
agitated again and again encroached onto the ambulance These subjects had to be repeatedly
ordered back and threatened With arrest If they did not follow police orders before they were compliant
and stayed away
Once I saw that the scene became less chaotiC and that all officers present weren t needed for scene
security and to protect the ambulance I did see a MNV standing near one of our marked squad cars
I saw thiS subject was a MNV weanng a white t shirl and blue jeans and that he had blood on the left
Side of hiS neck and t shirl as well as dried blood from inSide hiS left ear canal I asked the subject
later Identified as Schmaling If he had been Injured InSide State St Brat and he stated he had been
struck In the face or the head by someone With a glass inSide the bar

police had beat Bauer At the time of the inCident none of those subject to my knowledge were
InSide the bar and were not direct witnesses The phYSical state of Bauer was very upsetting to these
subjects and approximately 3 or 4 of them repeatedly walked Into the street and began to walk up to
and crowd the ambulance where Bauer was being seen and being placed In the back of the
ambulance Those SUbjects had to be repeatedly ordered to get back away from the officers as well
as the ambulance and to get back on the Sidewalk I did see Police Officer C Hemming repeatedly
order these subjects to get back and they stated to her that they did not need to get back and they
would not do so Several other officers also had to order these subjects back multiple times Once
the group went back onto the Sidewalk It was only a matter of a few seconds before they became
agitated again and again encroached onto the ambulance These subjects had to be repeatedly
ordered back and threatened With arrest If they did not follow police orders before they were compliant
and stayed away
Once I saw that the scene became less chaotiC and that all officers present weren t needed for scene
security and to protect the ambulance I did see a MNV standing near one of our marked squad cars
I saw thiS subject was a MNV weanng a white t shirl and blue jeans and that he had blood on the left
Side of hiS neck and t shirl as well as dried blood from inSide hiS left ear canal I asked the subject
later Identified as Schmaling If he had been Injured InSide State St Brat and he stated he had been
struck In the face or the head by someone With a glass inSide the bar

State Street Brat employees I qUickly followed and observed Bauer turn to hiS left to go to what I
knew was a short comdor In a doorway leading outside When I got to the end of the cOrridor and
looked down I observed 2 to 3 State Street Brat employees and then on the other Side of them I saw
Police Officer Helmsness and then saw Bauer who had hiS hand up against the glass door which led
outside of State St Brats
I could hear one of the employees asking something to the effect of Should we do anything? I then
placed my right hand on the arm/shoulder of the employee directly In front of me applYing some
pressure to move him saying loudly 2 to 3 limes Let me through I was able to get past the 2 or 3
employees and as I got to Police Officer Helmsness I observed Bauer and Police Officer Helmsness
were In phYSical contact With each other and could hear Police Officer Helmsness yelling loudly at
Bauer to get on the ground We were In a short COrridor/hallway which I approximate to be about 3
to 4 feet Wide by 6 to 7 feet long On one end of thiS COrridor was a glass door eXiting State St Brats
and on the other end of the COrridor was an opening 1I1to the large bar room As I got to Police Officer
Helmsness I observed Bauer With hiS hands up In the shoulder/face area of Police Officer
Helmsness pushing him away I was In full military style Madison Police Uniform when I qUickly
approached Bauer and gave him a very loud direct order to get on the ground as I grabbed a hold of
hiS right hand and bicep I could feel strong reSistive tension as I attempted to direct Bauer to the
floor and could feel that he was resisting the downward movement I then let go of thiS grip and used
my nght hand to grab on the top of Bauer s head and my left hand to grab the top of hiS shoulder and
then used thiS to attempt to direct him face first to the ground I again felt strong resistive tension
even though I was again and stili yelling Ipudly a direct order to Bauer to get on the ground I did
then leave my nght hand on the back of Bauer s head/neck area and used my right hand and one of
my feet to block the legs of Bauer then pushing him downwards face first onto the ground Bauer did
not Immediately go to the ground while dOing thiS I had to struggle With him for a couple/few seconds
With him In order to get him to the ground as he was reslsling the downward movement With very
strong resistive tension While we were struggling With Bauer I heard him say more than once
faggots and fuck you As Bauer was directed to the ground he first landed on hiS knees and then
With the assistance of Police Officer Helmsness we moved him forward so that he actually went
completely to the ground laYing down I observed that after laYing facedown on the ground Bauer
Immediately turned onto hiS left Side at which time I was able to grab a hold of hiS nght Wrist which I
could feel at thiS time was wet and sticky I was yelling loudly to Bauer to gIVe me hiS arm and to
place It behmd hiS back but I could feel that Bauer was attempting to get hiS arm back and attempting
to pull It Into hiS stomach/chest area I did at thiS time observe that what I was holding onto which was
wet and sticky was a red/brown colored wet substance which I believed was blood I did at thiS time
realize that I did not want to have to struggle With Bauer any longer than necessary as I did not want
to get thiS blo hazard In any culs or wounds that I may receive In the struggle I then did at thiS time
begin to kneel on Bauer s nght Side which made It pOSSible for me to get him to roll onto hiS stomach
at which time I was able to struggle and get hiS nght arm behind hiS back I was then able to look and
see that there was a large amount of blood on my hand on both the palm and back of my hand as
well as my wnst and forearm I was focused on the arm which I had at thiS time but could hear
Police Officer Helmsness yelling loudly for Bauer to give him hiS other arm I did look up to see that
Bauer s head and shoulder areas were completely covered by hiS sweatshirt and that hiS left arm was
also up In hiS sweatshirt so that I could not see hiS forearm or hand
I was attempting to get a beUer grip on Bauer s wrist/hand as I could not tell where the blood was
coming from and at Ihls time realized that Police Officer Helmsness was gaining control of Bauer s
left arm I did then remove the handcuffs from my belt and did then place them on first the right hand

blood on both the palm and the back of the hand and that there were spots of blood on both the
bottom and top of my right forearm
Once Bauer was In handcuffs I did look up In order to see that the bar was still mainly empty besides
the employees who were In the bar at the time of our entrance Note upon our entrance I did not see
any patrons In the bar besides Bauer As I looked up and observed the large bar area which was In
front of us I could see that directly In front of us and around us were the same 3 to 5 employees
which were around us dUring the struggle These employees were directly around us and very close
to us surrounding us I also looked backwards behind me and observed that on the glass door
behind us was a partial handprint In a red/brown substance I believed that thiS partial handprint was
In the same location on thiS glass door where I had seen Bauer's hand when I first looked down the
corndor
Police Officer R OrviS and Police Officer B Sheehy did arnve on scene and did assist In taking brief
custody of Bauer while I went to the bathroom and washed the blood from my hands which I had
gotten from Bauer S right hand I did observe later once Bauer was cleaned up that he did have a
laceration on the InSide of hiS right thumb For more Information on Bauer being taking Into custody
see Police Officer Helmsness anginal report under thiS case number
After the struggle and Bauer being In custody I observed that Bauer was bleeding from somewhere
on hiS head or face I did at thiS time Immediately get on the radiO and asked for Fire Rescue to come
and look at Bauer Bauer did then remain on the ground while Fire Rescue was en route and It was
dUring thiS time where I did leave Bauer In the bnef custody of Pohce Officer Sheehy and Police
Officer OrviS while I went to the bathroom Fife Rescue arnved on scene and Fire Rescue did then
transport Bauer to Menter Hospital In their ambulance and Police Officer Sheehy did nde along In the
ambulance for thiS transport
Police Officer Helmsness and I then did respond to Menter Hospital to re contact Bauer and upon
arnval when entenng the room which Bauer was In at Menter Hospital ER I Immediately observed the
t shirt which Bauer was wearing which was completely orange In color and had a very large picture of
brass knuckles which covered most of the front of the t shirt and over the top of It In large black
leiters It said something to the effect of problem solver I also observed that Bauer S face was
cleaned except for a small amount of blood under hiS nose and a laceration below hiS nostnl I also
observed that Bauer had a laceration on hIS right thumb
While standing by to observe Bauer as he was at thiS time In custody I heard Menter Hospital staff
ask Bauer more than once If he would allow them to both stitch hiS nose and also place a bandage on
hiS nght hand I heard Bauer answer each time that he would not allow them to do thiS until they let
him speak with hiS mother or lawyer I heard each time the staff would tell Bauer that he was not
gOing to be able to speak with hiS mother at that time and what they needed to know was would he
give them consent for stitches or a bandage and he conlinued to not answer and again tell them that
he would only allOW thiS If they would allow him to talk to hiS mother I overheard Menter Hospital staff
talking to each other saYing that they were not gOing to hold Bauer down and force him to get slitches
or a bandage and that they were taking thiS as a refusal for medical treatment As I stood outSide of
the room In the hallway Bauer called me Into the room asking If he could ask a question Bauer
asked me what hiS charge was gOing to be and when I Informed him that I believed at thiS time It was
recklessly endangering safety along with reslsling he called me a faggot 3 to 4 times and told me to
suck my cock once and then began saYing fuck you over and over at which lime I moved from the
room back Into the hallway and he said It 2 or 3 more times even after I eXited the room While at the
hospital Special Investlgalor Hessefort did take photos of Bauer

see Police Officer Helmsness anginal report under thiS case number
After the struggle and Bauer being In custody I observed that Bauer was bleeding from somewhere
on hiS head or face I did at thiS time Immediately get on the radiO and asked for Fire Rescue to come
and look at Bauer Bauer did then remain on the ground while Fire Rescue was en route and It was
dUring thiS time where I did leave Bauer In the bnef custody of Pohce Officer Sheehy and Police
Officer OrviS while I went to the bathroom Fife Rescue arnved on scene and Fire Rescue did then
transport Bauer to Menter Hospital In their ambulance and Police Officer Sheehy did nde along In the
ambulance for thiS transport
Police Officer Helmsness and I then did respond to Menter Hospital to re contact Bauer and upon
arnval when entenng the room which Bauer was In at Menter Hospital ER I Immediately observed the
t shirt which Bauer was wearing which was completely orange In color and had a very large picture of
brass knuckles which covered most of the front of the t shirt and over the top of It In large black
leiters It said something to the effect of problem solver I also observed that Bauer S face was
cleaned except for a small amount of blood under hiS nose and a laceration below hiS nostnl I also
observed that Bauer had a laceration on hIS right thumb
While standing by to observe Bauer as he was at thiS time In custody I heard Menter Hospital staff
ask Bauer more than once If he would allow them to both stitch hiS nose and also place a bandage on
hiS nght hand I heard Bauer answer each time that he would not allow them to do thiS until they let
him speak with hiS mother or lawyer I heard each time the staff would tell Bauer that he was not
gOing to be able to speak with hiS mother at that time and what they needed to know was would he
give them consent for stitches or a bandage and he conlinued to not answer and again tell them that
he would only allOW thiS If they would allow him to talk to hiS mother I overheard Menter Hospital staff
talking to each other saYing that they were not gOing to hold Bauer down and force him to get slitches
or a bandage and that they were taking thiS as a refusal for medical treatment As I stood outSide of
the room In the hallway Bauer called me Into the room asking If he could ask a question Bauer
asked me what hiS charge was gOing to be and when I Informed him that I believed at thiS time It was
recklessly endangering safety along with reslsling he called me a faggot 3 to 4 times and told me to
suck my cock once and then began saYing fuck you over and over at which lime I moved from the
room back Into the hallway and he said It 2 or 3 more times even after I eXited the room While at the

Brats and attempt to secure Video footage reference thiS case
At approximately 3 45 P m I went to 603 State St and made contact with the owner Kelly Meuer At
thiS time Iidenllfled myself to Meuer as a detective With the Madison Police Department I asked
Meuer If he could obtain for me the Video footage from InSide of 603 State SI State Street Brats
reference the InCident that occurred on 12/29/06 at approximately 1 59 a m Meuer Informed me at
thiS lime that he had heard about the fight and that several of hiS employees had witnessed the
altercation I then asked Meuer for the names of these employees that had witnessed the disturbance
InSide of 603 State St At thiS time Meuer Informed me of the follOWing individuals who were working
at the lime of thiS InCident Nathan Quella Elissa Parker Adam Pischke Mike Matyslk and Max
Michalski The employee names and phone numbers were Identified from an employee roster sheet
After obtaining possible witnesses reference thiS disturbance Kelly Meuer put me In contact With one
of hiS employees that would be able to assist me In obtaining the Video surveillance footage The
employee was Identified as Vinnie Cholewa
Vinnie Cholewa an assistant manager at State Street Brats took me Into the basement of State
Street Brats where their digital recording system IS located Vinnie Cholewa showed me that the
digital Video recording eqUipment that they utilize IS Pelco DX7116 240 and Pelco DX7000 Vinnie
Cholewa Informed me that they need two separate digital Video recorders due to the fact that they
have several cameras located inSide of the bar
Case # 154206 DET GREGORY SESSER 2779 Page 3 of 4
At this time I reviewed the digital footage on their computer terminal In State Street Brats Vinnie
Cholewa mformed me that he had looked through the video and did not beheve there was much that
was actually captured on the video system due to the positioning of the video cameras Inside the bar
Specifically Vinnie Cholewa Illustrated to me that camera 4 In the bar captures the area of the bar
that would be the northeast corner of the bar ThiS location IS Just outside of the scope of the camera
location that would have captured the altercation between Jacob Bauer the suspect and BenJamm C
Schmaling the victim In thiS investigation
Additionally Vinnie Cholewa was asked to show me all video camera locations Inside the bar In order
to see If It was possible to capture the altercation In queslion from a different angle The only other
camera angle that possibly could have been ulihzed to capture the altercalion between Bauer and
Schmaling would have been through camera 6 Camera 6 IS located near the southwest corner of the
bar and IS positioned to view the center of the bar However there were decoratIOns hanging Inside
the bar and there were a lot of people inside the bar at the lime of the altercation therefore from
camera 6 S Viewpoint the disturbance between Bauer and Schmaling was never captured on film
At thiS lime Goetsch stated to me that he was haVing difficulty actually downloading the video
therefore he made contact with a co worker of hiS Matthew Goetsch to assist At thiS time Matthew
Goetsch aSSisted me In downloading the Video Images
Matthew Goetsch ultimately downloaded for me three diSCS contalnmg footage from Inside of the bar
The dISCS In question are property tagged underneath tag number 0178468 Two of the diSCS that
were property tagged are labeled camera 4 One of the diSCS that IS labeled under camera 4 contains
the time penod of 1 51 a m to 2 08 a m The second diSC that has footage from camera 4 goes from
the time span of 208 a m to 2 15 a m Lastly the third diSC contains footage from camera 6 s
locahon ThiS time penod IS from 1 50 a m to 2 15 a m Again camera 4 S angle shows the northeast
corner of the bar and camera 6 S angle shows the center of the bar from the southwest position
These diSCS were collected at 6 00 P m on 12/29/06
In reviewing the Video footage I observed from camera 4 what appears to be people Inside of the bar
draWing their attention towards the north Side of State Street Brats ThiS area IS not observed from
camera 4 s position however It IS apparent In observing the reaction of patrons InSide the bar that
their attention IS drawn towards thiS area I was adVised by Cholewa that thiS was the location of the
fight between Bauer and Schmaling
It appears as though several State Street Brats employees bartenders and/or secunty persons
responded to thiS alterca\ton At thiS time from camera 4 s ViewpOint one can see that the suspect
Jacob Bauer IS then seen on the ground and that employee Nathan Quella IS positioned on top of
Bauer restraining him on the ground Nathan Quella was Identified to me by Vinnie Cholewa as the
Individual on top of Bauer as seen from camera 4 S vantage pOint Additionally Cholewa Idenlifled

Internal Investigation 2007-01
INTRODUCTION
This investigation involves the review of the amount afforce that was used to arrest Jacob Bauer during
the early morning hours of December 29, 2006 at State Street Brats. The incident happened at
approximately bar time. Mr. Bauer was arrested under our case number 2006-154206 and charged'with
second degree recklessly endangering safety, as well as resisting an officer. That case was referred to the
Dane County District Attorney's Office. The involved officers' are Officer Steve Heimsness and Officer
Corey Ursa.
INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM DISPATCH
I collected the Dispatch tape of the incident and could listen to the tape and hear that one call came in,
which was disconnected. A second call then came in related to a suspect having hit someone in the face or
the head with a beer glass at State Street Brats. I hear the Dispatcher getting pertinent information and the
units being dispatched. The units' that were dispatched were David 20 and 21, who for the record are
Officer Heimsness and Officer Ursa. It should be noted that the tape also contains a third call that was
made by Elissa Parker, who was extremely upset on the phone. She indicated that the officers were
kicking the person in the head and that someone needs to respond to that. The Dispatcher in response to
this told her to look for a sergeant who was at the scene and gave her the name of Sgt. Cindy Mierow.
POLICE REPORT OF OFFICER STEVE HEIMSNESS
The report details the arrest of Jacob Bauer. The victim in the case is Benjamin C. Schmaling, who is a
20-year old'male, He received a laceration to the upper right side of his head near his ear and it was later
learned that this required seven stitches. With regal'ds to the arrest of Bauer, Heimsness says in his report:
I did not wish Bauer to gain any advantage on us or be able to pick anything up and use it as a weapon
against us. I delivered several kicks using my right leg to Bauer's back, ordering him to get on his
stomach. During these kicks, Bauer did tum on his stomach and I was able to drag him slightly further out
into the bar room. I continued to apply approximately twQ more kicks ordering Bauer to place his hands
behind his back because by this time, I had lost my grip on Bauer'S left hand. The report goes on to state:
I then got down to my knees and I delivered several knee strikes using, my right knee, I did apply
approximately four to five knee strikes ordering Bauer to place his hands behind his back, After the last
knee strike I delivered, I did hear Bauer state okay, okay and I did see him put his left hand out.

POLICE REPORT OF POLICE OFFICER COREY URSO .
Corey Urso's report presents the details related to the State Street Brats call. With regards to the arrest, he '.
describes his role in placing Bauer under nrrest and placing handcuffs on Bauer. In regnrds to Officer
Heimsness' actions, Ursa's report states, "For more information on Bauer being taken into custody, see
Officer Heimsness original report under this case number."
POLICE REPORT OF SERGEANT CINDY MIEROW.
Sergeant Mierow's report details her arrival at State Street Brats. She obtains the . services of an
investigator to take pictures of the injuries and she did make contact with Bauer aHre emergency room.
She rioted that Bimer was intoxiciited: She also overneard Bauer advising Meriter staff that he did not
wish for sutures until he had spoken to his mother or lawyer. She did not. ask any further questions.
It should be. noted that both Heimsness .and Ursa note in their report that Bauer was conveyed by Fire
Rescue to Meriter, where he refused medical attention unless he could speak to his mother or his attorney.
He was cleared by medical staff to go to the jail. He did not receive medical attention at Meriter to my
knowledge. It appears, however, that he was cleaned up by Meriter staff prior to conveyance to the jail.
POLICE REPORT OF POLICE OFFICER TAYA DOLSEN
Dolsen's report basically describes her role which is rather minor in the incident. She interviews the bar
manager with regards to the victim being struck by the suspect who was Mr. Bauer.
POLICE REPORT OF DETECTIVE GREG ESSER .
Detective Esser followed up on this case with regards to the criminal charges against Jacob Bauer. He
went to State Street Brats on the 29th and contacted personnel there where he obtained surVeillance video
that is inside the bar. Unfortunately,. none of the video or camera angles show the actual arrest of Mr.
Bauer. The videos do help put the timeframe in place. According to Detective Esser, at approximately
1 :54 a.m. is when the incident starts. Madison Police Department arrives at approximately 1 :59 a.ro. and
at 2:11 a.m. two officers can be seen escorting Bauer out of State Street Brats after he's been taken into
custody.
OFFICER CONDUCT REPORTING FORM
I reviewed an Officer Conduct Reporting Form that Sgt. Mierow completed. That form indicates that
when she was at State Street Brats on this call, she was contacted by Elissa Parker. Note that Elissa Parker
is the person that was very upset imd called Dispatch. Parker told Sgt. Mierow that she saw one of the

him repeatedly to the head." She described the case as a Rodney King type case.

POLICE REPORT OF POLICE OFFICER COREY URSO .
Corey Urso's report presents the details related to the State Street Brats call. With regards to the arrest, he '.
describes his role in placing Bauer under nrrest and placing handcuffs on Bauer. In regnrds to Officer
Heimsness' actions, Ursa's report states, "For more information on Bauer being taken into custody, see
Officer Heimsness original report under this case number."
POLICE REPORT OF SERGEANT CINDY MIEROW.
Sergeant Mierow's report details her arrival at State Street Brats. She obtains the . services of an
investigator to take pictures of the injuries and she did make contact with Bauer aHre emergency room.
She rioted that Bimer was intoxiciited: She also overneard Bauer advising Meriter staff that he did not
wish for sutures until he had spoken to his mother or lawyer. She did not. ask any further questions.
It should be. noted that both Heimsness .and Ursa note in their report that Bauer was conveyed by Fire
Rescue to Meriter, where he refused medical attention unless he could speak to his mother or his attorney.
He was cleared by medical staff to go to the jail. He did not receive medical attention at Meriter to my
knowledge. It appears, however, that he was cleaned up by Meriter staff prior to conveyance to the jail.
POLICE REPORT OF POLICE OFFICER TAYA DOLSEN
Dolsen's report basically describes her role which is rather minor in the incident. She interviews the bar
manager with regards to the victim being struck by the suspect who was Mr. Bauer.
POLICE REPORT OF DETECTIVE GREG ESSER .
Detective Esser followed up on this case with regards to the criminal charges against Jacob Bauer. He
went to State Street Brats on the 29th and contacted personnel there where he obtained surVeillance video
that is inside the bar. Unfortunately,. none of the video or camera angles show the actual arrest of Mr.
Bauer. The videos do help put the timeframe in place. According to Detective Esser, at approximately
1 :54 a.m. is when the incident starts. Madison Police Department arrives at approximately 1 :59 a.ro. and
at 2:11 a.m. two officers can be seen escorting Bauer out of State Street Brats after he's been taken into
custody.
OFFICER CONDUCT REPORTING FORM
I reviewed an Officer Conduct Reporting Form that Sgt. Mierow completed. That form indicates that
when she was at State Street Brats on this call, she was contacted by Elissa Parker. Note that Elissa Parker
is the person that was very upset imd called Dispatch. Parker told Sgt. Mierow that she saw one of the
male officers "pulling up the male and the other officer kicking the guy to the head and neck with his foot
. numerous times." Parker stated that it was Bauer on the floor and she observed his face covered with
blood. She also advised that she yelled at the officers to stop it and called 911. She described to Sgt.
Mierow the actions of the officer as very aggressive. She stated, "He was beating this guy and kicking
him repeatedly to the head." She described the case as a Rodney King type case.

It also notes that Sgt. Mierow contacted the manager, Nathan Quella. He advised her,that Bauer \vas very
belligerent with the police and wouldn't comply with their commands. He indicated that Bauer was
spitting blood at police and them faggots and tJ]nI he was flailing around in an attempt to prev<:nt
officers from hnndcuffinghim. Quell. told Sgt. Mierow that Dimer wouldn't allow tilli officers to roll him
on his stomach from ,the positioning he was in on his back. He indicated to Sgt. Mierow that he thought
the action of the officers were appropriate in taking Bauer into custody. Note that I also have a copy of a
, buck slip that was sent from Sgt. Mierow at tiie scene to Lt. Ackeret regarding Mr. Quella' S
statement indicating that "Quella felt the officers behavior dealing with the guy was appropriate."
PICTURES FROM THE INCIDENT
I have a color plrotograph of Mr. Bauer at the time ofllis arrest after the incident, after he was cleaned up
and brought from Medter Hospital.lt is clear he has, some type of laceration that is still fresh on the right
side of his nose and his nostril area. He has some discoloration to the right side of his face and a bruise
near his right eye. His eyes appear to be what is commonly described as black but I can't tell from the
picture if that's just the lighting in the picture or if that is a result of the incident.
I reviewed the photos taken by the Madison Police Department at Meriter Hospital of Mr. Bauer. Mr.
Bauer obviously has a laceration to the right side of his nose near his nostril. The right side of his face
looks like it is somewhat discolored and swollen. There is some type of laceration or injury to the top of
his head which appears to have ,been bleeding, His left hand looks bloody but it's hard to teU if that's
, from blood from his face or if it had been bleeding ..
. Related to the pictures that were taken at Meriter Hospital by Investigator Hessefort, I think it can be
accurately described that he looks like he's been in a fight of some sort but that injuries are not shocking.
I also looked at the pictures of the victim in this case, who had the glass smashed into the side of his head.
That person is Benjamin C. Schmaling. You can see a laceration around his left ear and'bleeding down
around his jaw line area'. There also appears to be a scratch ac'ross the top of his head running down to his
left cheek and jaw area. As I noted earlhir, I was told that seven stitches were required to close the injury
near his ear.
MEMO FROM DETECTIVE GREG ESSER
The memo is dated January 3, 2007. That memo indicates that while doing follow up on this case down at
State Street Brats, Detective Esser was contacted by Max Michalski. Max told Detective Esser that he had
witnessed the incident and he had witnessed the arrest of Mr. Bauer. He told Detective Esser that one of
the officers began to kick Bauer at least five to six times. He also stated that after Bauer was kicked in the
head, the officer began to punch him ill the back of the head two to three times. Michalski then told
Detective Esser that the officer put his knee to Bauer's-head at least twtno three times grinding Bauer's
head into the ground with his knee. Bauer said something to the effect at this time, fuck you faggots. He
reported that the officer said in response to this, shut up, shut the fuck up, put your hands back.

The first email that I received was from the bar manager, Nathan Quella. Mr. Quella indicated "I was
between two guys wheu this happened so I took the guy thilt broke the glass to the ground. Adam a)ld I
held him down and I told another bouncer to ca1l91i. The person we were holding stopped struggling
after a minute or two. We let him get up and get some paper towels for his hands. The cops showed up
and as soon as he saw them he ran for the garden door. The door was lockedso. he couldn't get out. The
cops caught up to him in the doorway. He was struggling and did not let the cops cuff him. Cops shoved
him twice against the wall and I believe he cut his head on one of the signs we have on the wall. The cops
then got him on the ground and he was struggling. Cops were on their knees and at this point, holding him
down and telling him to roll ovef onto his stomach. He would not and then walked away to check on my
employees and make sure ilO. one got huit. I was told one of the cops 'struck the guy in the. head with hIs
knees but I didn't see it happen. Oneof my employees, Elissa, then called 911 again because she thought
. the cops used excessive force. During the incident, thought of excessive force did not enter my mind."
I received an email from Adam Pischke reference this incident. That email states in part: "First I saw the
guy break the glass over the other guy's head and then I restrained the breaker until the police arrived. At
arrival, I let the police take over and when I got off of him he tried running out the back door but it was
locked. Then the officers u'ied to get him to the ground but he resisted. They then used the appropriate
amount of force to take him down where he appeared to continue to resist. At this point, the officers were
teIling him they were "going to break his arm" ifhe didn't c.oaperate. He continued and they proceeded to
stomp on his head.At this point, I can't tell ifhe's still resisting but they were shouting to each other that
he was and they stomped on his head about five times. At this point, the ambulance arrived and there was
a decent amount of blood on the floor." He notes in his email, I was about 15 feet away while all this was
going on.
I received this email from Max Michalski: "I was working at the front door when I heard a fight break out
in the bar. When I got inside, the man who was arrested this night was on the floor restrained by a
bouncer and our manager. After a couple of minutes holding him on the fioor, the cops arrived and when
the two male cops went to arrest him, he ran and tried to escape our the beer garden door but was unable
to because the patio door was locked. The cops then grabbed him, threw him face first into the wall saying
get to the ground and then threw him to the ground. Meanwhile, I was standing a couple of feet away
watching. Once the man was on the ground, one cop was on his back attempting to restrain the man and
had his right arm as the man was lying face down. Then the other cop who was standing right next to me
took a step towards the man and kicked the man extremely hard with the tip of his shoe to the top of the
man's head. The cop who kicked him continually stepping away and stepping to fully kick the man on the
top of the head repeatedly, between five and ten times. With each kick to the head, I could hear a loud
thumping sound. Meanwhile, the other cop is still on top of the man holding his right arm while he's
barely squirming on the ground. The cop kicking him said give us your arm but he never, ever made an
attempt to grab the arm, which was rested on the floor. After kicking the man, the same cop began taking
full swings punching the man in the back of the head between three and five times but still made no
attempt to actually grab the left arm. After punching the man, the same cop then got on his left knee and
began swinging his other knee very hard into the man's face. This occurred two to three times and the
man was gushing blood from his face. After kneeing the man in the head, he took his knee and he put it
on the back of his head and put alInost all his weight on it and drove his face into the floor. At this point,
the same cop finally grabbed his left arm and pulled it to the right arm restrained by the other cop so they
could cuff him."

how he and Corey Ursa had to take the subject to the ground and then struggled to gain control, although
PO Ursa eventually gained control of one arm,lhe other arm was still unobtainable. Heimsness told me
that he began to deliver several knee strikes to the body of the subject until they were able to gain contror
of his other arm. Heimsness also told me during the fight, the subject's jacket was pulled up over his head

with. PO Heimsness told me that after the subject was controlled and taken into custody, he observed that.
thEl subject had sustained fachil injuries that were not present when he and PO Ursa had initially made
contact with him. PO Heimsness told me that he believed he may have inadvertently struck the subject in
the face with his knee while trying to control him. PO Heimsness also told me that during the struggle
with the subject, the subject sustained some sort of hand injury due to hitting in the victim in the head
with a glass."
INTERVIEW WITH OFFICER COREY URSa
On January 17,2007, I interviewed Police Officer Corey Ursa in the Conference Room of the Chiefs
Office. He was accompanied by MPPOA President Scott Favour and Lt. Joe Balles was also present for
the second half of Officer Ursa's interview. Officer Ursa details the incident. Again, he indicates that he
was concerned about the amount of blood that the subject had on him and was concerned that he not be
exposed to the subject's blood. He remembers looking up and seeing the sweatshirt over the subject's
head and that he couldn't see where his left hand was. When I asked him specifically ifhe knows whether
Officer Heimsness kicked Jacob Bauer, he stated I didn't observe that but I guess I wasn't looking. The
blood really kinda was there, 'a lot of it, you know. I was really focused on that. I asked him if he saw
Officer Heimsness punch Jacob Bauer, his response was I didn't see that. I asked him if he saw any knee
strikes. He said, "I didn't see that. I know there was definitely struggling. I mean I knew Steve was right
there but no I didn't see any of that." I asked him if he heard an employee at the bar yell and he indicated
he heard someone yell, "I heard stop or something like that." The rest of interview details taking Bauer
into custody and Bauer's behavior at Meriter Hospital.
INTERVIEW WITH OFFICER STEVE HEIMSNESS
Officer Steve Heimsness was interviewed in the Chief s Conference Room by myself on January 17,
2007. He was accompanied for the interview by MPPOA President Scott Favour .. Lt. Joe Balles was also
present for the interview. During the interview, Heimsness told me about his initial contact with Bauer
and how Bauer ran from him through the short hallway that leads to the beer garden door. He indicated
that he ended up catching up w\th Bauer and that Bauer stiff-armed him in the face. He indicated that it
was hard enough that it pushed him back several inches and it did not knock him completely off balance
but he.was trying to push him away. Note that I noticed this was duly noted in Officer Heimsness' report
of the incident and I also noted that Sgt. Mierow advised that once she arrived at the scene, she saw some
blood on Heimsness' face which she believed was the result of being pushed in the face by the subject,
Jacob Bauer, who was bleeding from his hand at the time.

He indicated that they were trying to struggle with him in this small hallway and they couldn't get any
position of advantage there so they ended up dragging him out of the passageway towards the bar room
. and then he was on his sjde at this p.oint. He indicated that he was actively resisting during this entire
incident. He indicated that he could also feel the,tension in the subject's left arm. He heard Officer Ursa
telling the subject to put hi. hands behind back and tllat he wasn't complying. He also that he
and Officer Ursa were able to get their legs and feet in front of him and they tripped him and pushed him
to the floor and that is how the take down occurred. I asked Officer,Heimsness if during the incident he
ever kicked Bauer in the head. He indicated not that I know of, "The problem being, of course, as.I'm
Irying to kick him as his jacket was up and from the middle of his torso up to his elbow was covered with
his jacket so I wasn't kicking towards his head. My objective.was to kick him in the side." He then
described the kicks that he applied to Jacob Bauer,' Iasked him if he punched the pers.on at any' time. He .,
indicated no "after those first three or four kicks, I then dragged him out further andT was either kicking
or trying to drag him out further into the bar. I lost grip on his left hand and then I kicked him two more
times I'm guessing. I think two more times because now his arm was gone and it went under him and he
rolled on to his but he placed his hand under his body but I did not punch him." I asked him
when you kicked him the second time, you know where you landed those kicks. He stated no, I was
directing them towards his side as best 1 could. "1 think it was below his shoulder level where I was
aiming." I asked him ifhe used any knee strikes on him and he indicated he did after he lost conlrol of the
.subject's arm. "I went down to my knees and 1 delivered four or five knee strikes from my knees as he
was laying on the floor and lriming for his side." I asked him if his head was still covered at this time and
he said yup, his head was covered until he finally surrendered his arm under his body. I asked him did he
at some point give up and he responded yeah after the last knee strike I delivered, he said, "Okay, okay
and then he started to bring his left arm out and his left arm carne out and I reached under his jacket,
found his left wrist and brought it Qut and around and toward the small of his back." I asked him if he
heard anybody yelling at the officers from the bar and he indicated he did. He told me he thought it was
an employee and she was yelling something to the effect of "stop it, stop it, you're going to kill him or get
off of him." Heimsness acknowledged that Bauer had blood all over his face after they pulled the jaCket
from his head and shoulder areas. During the rest of the interview, Heimsness describes Mr. Bauer's
behavior at the .hospital. He said he was unpleasant, that he was abusive, rude, calling everybody names,
insulting hospital staff, demanding to know if we arrested the person that had injured him. He also
indicated the subject was very intoxicated. At the end of the interview, I went through these specific
questions.
QUESTION: At some point, you had your knee on him. Is that correct?
ANSWER: "Actually both but yes."
QUESTION: Okay where were the knees placed on him?
ANSWER: "On his left shoulder. more towards the mid-line of his body and down probably three or four
inches from the top of his shoulder."

rolled on to his but he placed his hand under his body but I did not punch him." I asked him
when you kicked him the second time, you know where you landed those kicks. He stated no, I was
directing them towards his side as best 1 could. "1 think it was below his shoulder level where I was
aiming." I asked him ifhe used any knee strikes on him and he indicated he did after he lost conlrol of the
.subject's arm. "I went down to my knees and 1 delivered four or five knee strikes from my knees as he
was laying on the floor and lriming for his side." I asked him if his head was still covered at this time and
he said yup, his head was covered until he finally surrendered his arm under his body. I asked him did he
at some point give up and he responded yeah after the last knee strike I delivered, he said, "Okay, okay
and then he started to bring his left arm out and his left arm carne out and I reached under his jacket,
found his left wrist and brought it Qut and around and toward the small of his back." I asked him if he
heard anybody yelling at the officers from the bar and he indicated he did. He told me he thought it was
an employee and she was yelling something to the effect of "stop it, stop it, you're going to kill him or get
off of him." Heimsness acknowledged that Bauer had blood all over his face after they pulled the jaCket
from his head and shoulder areas. During the rest of the interview, Heimsness describes Mr. Bauer's
behavior at the .hospital. He said he was unpleasant, that he was abusive, rude, calling everybody names,
insulting hospital staff, demanding to know if we arrested the person that had injured him. He also
indicated the subject was very intoxicated. At the end of the interview, I went through these specific
questions.
QUESTION: At some point, you had your knee on him. Is that correct?
ANSWER: "Actually both but yes."
QUESTION: Okay where were the knees placed on him?
ANSWER: "On his left shoulder. more towards the mid-line of his body and down probably three or four
inches from the top of his shoulder."
QUESTION:'He was not kicked inthe head or he was not kicked intentionally in the head?

motionless."

of his weight on his face in kind of a little wiggling but pushed his face into the floor,"

ANSWER: "] think I probably had the best vantage point, but because I, probably should mention this, I
-mean I asked them if they wanted my help getting him to the ground and they said no. But after a minute

back as they were trying to throw him to the ground and I did help take him to the ground for maybe five
seconds."

for a while, 1 mean, so] just instinctively I guess, 1 jumped in and 1 didn't use a whole lot of force but it

Heimsness kneel beside him and they Were holding him either by his arm or they had their hands on his
back. He indicated that the officers acknowledged his presence and at some point he said he relieved the
officers so they could go clean up their hands as there was blood on themselves. He indicated that the

lot of blood in and around his mouth and nose. It was difficult for him to tell exactly what the SOUrce of
the bleeding was. He said he wasn't articulating any specific injuries. He indicated at one point Mr. Bauer
started spitting blood towards Officer Sheehy and Officer Emily Becker. He said he placed Mr. Bauer in a
position where he wouldn't be able to spit anymore.
INTERVIEW WITH MIKE MATYSIK
This interview was conducted on January 23, 2007 in the 200 block of Langdon Street in my Madison
Police vehicle. Michael indicated that he works at State Street Brats. He is a student at UW-Madison and
he is 21 years old. I asked him if he recalled the incident and he said he did. ''There was an incident. A
glass was thrown at somebody, cutting one of the patrons like across the neck. And the person hitting was
thrown to the ground, bounced liy one of our bouncers and then arrested by the police." I asked him if he
could teU if the subject was injured and he said, "He had blood all OVer him. I don't know if it was his or
the other person's but he had blood allover him. That's all I know." I asked him if he heard officers say
anything to the subject: He said he heard hiin to stay still and he did hear a person on the ground yelling a
lot of obscenities. I asked him if he saw the officers punch, kick or knee strike the individual and he
indicated he did not.
REVIEW OF WISCONSIN CIRCUIT COURT ACCESS RECORDS
For information I ran Mr. Bauer on CCAP and noted that he has at least nine entries with the correct date
of birth of 5/8/83. Two of those are for felonies including the latest incident at State Street Brats. He has
an open felony case from 2006. He has a niisdemeanor case from 2005 and another misdemeanor from
2004. The rest are criminal traffic and traffic cases. He also has a criminal misdemeanor from 2006 and I
believe the criminal misdemeanors are related to obstructing/resisting an officer. The criminal felony from
2006 is for substantial battery and 2007 case is the felony bail jumping related to the case at State Street
Brats.
I reviewed reports related to Jacob Bauer in an attempt to obtain background infonnation on bim and
located a report from the Village of Waunakee Police Department. Their case number is 2006-600 II. In
that case Jacob Bauer punched a subject by the name of Brian Anderson in the nose breaking Anderson's
nose at a residence in the Village of Waunakee. The incident was sparked when Mr. Bauer took offense at
Anderson grabbed his girlfriend around the waist.

1 also located one of our cases from 2004. The 2004 case number is 04-118352. That case ,was
investigated by Officer Andre Lewis. A subject by the name of Scott Koralik indicate,s that he was atInn' s
Pizza at 319 N. Frances Streelat approximately 2:51a.m. He indicated that Bauer thought he cut in front
of him in line and that made him the focus of Bauer's aggression. He stated that as a result. Bauer swung
and hit him in the hea<) three times, It caused him pain and he did not give Baner consent to him, however
he did not want to pursue a complaint against Jacob Bauer.
Ilocated another case from 2005. This is a Madison Police Department case. The case number, is 05-
10812. This is a case in which Mr. Bauer had been arrested from drunk driving. He was in handcuffs in
the basement of the City-County Building. Initially he had been handcuffed behind his back and managed
to slip the cuffs aroun(l and then has them in front of him. When he got out of the squad car he forcefully
swung his elbows at the arresting officers who h a p p ~ n e d to be Officer Dave Minnert (ph) and Officer
Dao Xiong. Officer noted tllatBauer was yelling such things as "fuck you," directed towards the officer
and they were telling him to stop resisting and to get on the ground. He refused to do so and even though
he was handcuffed, he was flailing his arms and shifting his body trying to get away. The officers were
able to grab his arms and they escorted him to the ground to get control of him.
, It is interesting to note that during the incident at State Street Brats with Officer Heimsness and Urso,
Bauer is'yelling "fuck you" and calling the officers "faggots" and again flailing his arms and upper,body
, around.' ,
I noted another Madison Police report from 2004. That case number is 04-38054. That case involved a
subject by the n,ame of Dave Moore who was arguing with his girlfriend at4213 Maher Avenue. At some
point during this argument Bauer who resided at that address stepped between the two and struck David
Moore on the right side of his nose with a closed fist. The nos,e ended up swelling and bloody as a result
of being hit by Bauer.
DAREVIEW
I had intended on contacting Mr. Bauer and I called the District Attorney's Office to advise them of my
,intention. I spoke to Mr. Blanchard. After talking about the case and without disclosing the results of the
interviews with the officers, Mr. Blanchard indicated that his office would look at the case if I wanted
them to review it. I indicated that I thought it would be a good idea. I had contact with Randy Burmeister
of the DA's Office regarding this case. Mr. Burmeister picked up the reports in the e-mails and my
interviews tluit were not Garity Warnings, specifically were not the officer's interviews. I note Mr.
Blanchard wrote in an e-mail to me HI have now read several times the reports you have provided
following lip on my review of the reports from the substantial battery case against Jacob Bauer. I do not
find iIi t!lose reports a sufficient base to open a more formal investigation of this office into the
circumstances surrounding the arrest of Bauer on 12129/06 at State Street Brats to determine if criminal
charges might be warranted against any Madison Police Officers. Relevant factors include-agreement by
all witnesses that Bauer was very actively resisting police after conunitting an act of extreme violence
(glass to the head). Reports thnt Bauer was extremely strong and forceful that night, the difficult
circumstances confronting the officers in a small confined space, and the fact that police officers are
trained to use escalating force in such situations, whiCh can include delivering blows by and, knee or foot.
This last fact might surprise some citizens, a factor that must be considered in reviewing witness

investigated by Officer Andre Lewis. A subject by the name of Scott Koralik indicate.s that he was at Inn's
Pizza at 319 N. Frances Street at approximately 2:51 n.m. He indicated that Dauer thoughtlw cut in front
of him in line and that made him the focus of Bauer's aggression. He stated that as a result, Bauer swung
and hit him in the heaq three times. It caused him pain and he did not give Bauer consent to him, however
he did not want to pursue n complaint against Jacob Bauer.
I located another case from 2005. This is a Madison Police Deparbnent case. The case number. is 05-
10812. This is a case in which Mr. Bauer had been arrested from drunk driving. He was in handcuffs in
the basement of the City-County Building. Initially he had been handcuffed behind his back and managed
to slip the cuffs lIroun(l and then has themin front of him. When he got out of the squad car he forcefully
swung his elbows at the arresting officers who h a p p ~ n e d to be Officer Dave Minnert (ph) and Officer.
Dao Xiong. Officer noted tllntBauer was yelling such things as "fuck you," directed towards the officer
and they were telling him to stop resisting and to get on the ground. He refused to do so and even though
he was handcuffed, he was flailing his arms and shifting his body trying to get away. The officers were
able to grab his anns and they escorted him to the ground to get control of him.
. It is interesting to note that during the incident at State Street Brats with Officer Heimsness aild Ursa,
Bauer isyelling "fuck you" and calling the officers "faggots" and again flailing his arms and upper.body
. around. .
I noted another Madison Police report from 2004. That case number is 04-38054. That case involved a
subject by the n.ame of Dave Moore who was arguing with his girlfriend at4213 Maher Avenue. At some
point during this argument Bauer who resided at that address stepped between the two and struck David
Moore on the right side of his nose with a closed fist. The nos.e ended up swelling and bloody as a result
of being hit by Bauer.
DAREVIEW
I had intended on contacting Mr. Bauer and I called the District Attorney's Office to advise them of my
.intention. I spoke to Mr. Blanchard. After talking about the case and without disclosing the results of the
interviews with the officers, Mr. Blanchard indicated that his office would look at the case if I wanted
them to review it. I indicated that I thought it would be a good idea. I had contact with Randy Burmeister
of the DA's Office regarding this case. Mr. Burmeister picked up the reports in the e-mails and my
interviews that were not Garity Warnings, specifically were not the officer's interviews. I note Mr.
Blanchard wrote in an e-mail to me "I have now read several times the reports you have provided
following up on my review of the reports from the substantial battery case against Jacob Bauer. I do not
find in t!lose reports a sufficient base to open a more formal investigation of this office into the
circumstances surrounding the arrest of Bauer on 12129106 at State Street Brats to determine if criminal
charges might be warranted-against any Madison Police Officers. Relevant factors include-agreement by --_
ali witnesses that Bauer was very actively resisting police after conunitting an act of extreme violence
(glass to the head). Reports that Bauer was extremely strong and forceful that night, the difficult
circumstances confronting the officers in a small confined space, and the fact that police officers are
trained to use escalating force in such situations, which can include delivering blows by and, knee or foot.
This last fact might sUrprise some citizens, a factor that must be considered in reviewing witness
February 14,2007

statements in cases of this kind. I believe Investigator Bill;meister shares my view of lack of evidence
pointing towards a need for more fOimal investigation beyond which you have obtained."
CONCLUSIONS
I think that Mr. Blanchard correctly states the circumstances sUll'Ounding the arrest of Mr. B a l ! ~ r pn
12/29/06. I also note that the officers repeatedly told Mr. Bauer to stop resisting, to give us your arms or.
to get down on the ground and all those commands fell on deaf ears. It has to be noted that Mr. Bauer was
offering an extreme amount of resistance to the officers.
This case also has to be considered in light of the nature of the underlying offense. The underlying
offense was an extremely violent felony, breaking glasil'into the side of someone' s face or head is a very
serious criminal act. Even more so in this case when it appears that this action was unprovoked.
The next question, was Mr. Bauer trying to escape, and I would answer that unequivocally he was. He
fought with the bouncers and had to be restrained until the police got there. Though he stopped resistitlg
with a bouncer on top of him and a manager on his leg, it was only because the bouncer Adam Pischke
had him pinned in a very forceful manner to the floor. Mr. Bauer was in no position to escape from
Pischke's grasp. You also' should note that Mr. Pischke is a hurdler on the UW Track team. He is
approximately 6' and 1851bs. He goes to track practice every day and lifts weights for Division 1 track.
He also was a wide receiver on the football team for one year. So one would conclude that he is probably
in excellent physicat condition. It appears that Mr. Pischke had his hands full, at least initially, with Mr ...
Bauer.
Not only did Bauer attempt to escape from the bouncers, he attempted to escape when the officers arrived
by fleeing out the side door that leads to the bar area. If Mr. Bauer had managed to escape, he probably
would not have been identified and.this case, as serious as it was, would have gone unsolved. Mr. Bauer
had a lot at stake in terms ofresisilng the officers' attempts totake him into custody. I think it is very
clear that he was resisting at a very, very high level.
I also consider this in the light of Mr. Bauer's past behavior. He has a horrific record in regards to his
contacts with the police. He resists police violently and forcefully. He yells obscenities at people, flails his
arms around and in the case of his drunk driving case, is engaging in assaultive behavior even though he
is in handcuffs and has to be taken to the ground.

6. Maintaining order,
All of those eleinents were present in the early morning hours of December 29, 2006, With regards to the
degree of non-deadly force, the Madison Police Department Policy states as follows:
Officers shall only use the degree of force reasonably believed to be necessary to contr61 a situation
considering the following factors:
1. The existence of altemative methods of control.
2. Physical size, strength and weaponry of the person as compared to the officer.
3. The nature of the encounter. ...'.
4. Actions of the person.
S. Exigent conditions (i.e., availability of backup, number of persons involved, etc.).
6. The severity of the offense.
7.. WheUler the suspect poses a threat to the safety of pfficers or citizens.
8: Whether the suspect is .actively resisting arrest or attemp\ing to evade arrest by flight.
The policy further states:
Control of a person through verbal commands shall always be the prefelTed method of control. Because
verbal commands arc not always effective or appropriate in gaining compliance, officers may escalate tile
degree of force based on the actions of the person they are attempting to contra!.
It does not appear. the officers had any other . alternative methods available to them- given the
circumstmices. They physical size and stmngth ofMr. Bauer, although he is 5'10" and rather thin, was
awfully strong and very resistive at the time. He was strong enough tilat he was able to give Mr. Pischke
and the bUr manager a difficult time until they were able to get him on the ground. The nature of the
encounter again is a very violent incident invorving someone breaking a glass in the face of. another
person. Mr. Bauer was sb'ongly resisting. Exigent circumstances were present. The subject was trying to
flee and if the police didn't act, he wouldn't have been apprehended and taken into custody. The severity
of the offense as noted above, it is a very serious offense. Mr. Bauer clearly posed a threat to both officers
and citizens. There was no question that Mr. Bauer was actively resisting.
The State ofWisconsinDAT Manual authorizes kicks and knee strikes in situations ill which individuals
are violently resisting. I believe that was tile case here.
The case is troubling from the aspect of the number of people that are indicating that Bauer was kicked
directly in the head. Buteven those statements nre somewhat contradicted by people that indicate maybe
he was kicked in the torso or he was only kneed in the head and was not-kicked in the head, Clearly Max
Michalski has very descriptive statements with regards to the actions of Officer Heimsness. Elissa
Parker's statement to Sgt. Mierow and her statement to me over the phone is very similar to that of Mr.
Michalski's.

It is also in my view troubling that the officers saying the he,ad is covered. Officer Ursa in fact says on
one occasion when he looked up he saw that the head was covered but that was all that Officer Urso saw.
Officer Utso did not see any knee strikes, any kicks or any punches, but he was aware that there was a
struggle going on. Officer Urso indicates he was so focused on handcuffing the suspect and maintaining
control of the suspect's right wrist, that he was not observing what was going on. He was also very
focused on not getting blood on himself or trying telimit the danger of blood exposure to himself. Officer
Heimsness clearly indicates that the subject's head was covered throughout this incident arid that he did
not intentionally deliver any knee strikes or kicks to the person's head.
I am unable to reconcile these differences but note that this was a very tense difficult situation and that the
degree of injury apparent in the pictu.res does not appear to be real significant. It appears Mr. Bauer was
in a fight. It appears that he has some swelling and bruising and some lacerations, but he does not look
like a person who has been really beat up. During my career I've seen people with both eyes swollen shut,
a nose displaced and ajaw horribly swollen'. That was not the case here. If the descriptions of Mr. Bauer
being kicked repeatedly in the head were accurate, one would think that he would have more injuries than
what is noted here. It is also significant I think that Mr. Bauer has not contacted the police department or
anyone to my knowledge to indicate that he had any concern or complaint or injury related to this matter.
Lastly, I don't believe there are any medical records available because it was noted in the officer reports
that Mr. Bauer refused all medical attention while he was at the hospital. He was informed that he should
have stitches for the lacerations on this nose or to the side of this nose, and he rejected those
recommendations. He was in fact cleared to go to the Dane County Jail that night. Investigator Burmeister
told me that the jail records indicate that Bauer was extremely intoxicated and was monitored throughout
the night related to his level of intoxication.
I am forwarding this,to you for your review and consideration.

This memo is a follow-up to my memo ofFebru!l1Y 14,2007. Since February 14, 2007, I have
reviewed the DAAT Disturbance Resolution Model that was approved by the Law Enforcement
Training and Standards Board of the Wisconsin Department of Justice on January 16, 2002. I have
also looked at this model in conjunction with our Use of Force policy. I have had the assistance of
Captain C!IJ.Il McLay. Captain McLay has reviewed the complete file on the matter and has provided
valuable assistance and advice.
As you know, this was a somewhat unique and difficult situation for the two officers involved. The
subject they were.tlying to arrest, Jacob Bauer, had just committed a violent felony. He attempted to
flee and was restrained by bouncers, and when the officers arrived, he attempted to flee again. When
Officers Heimsness and Urso tried to arrest him, he offered a great deal of violent resistance.
In reviewing this in light of the disturbance resolution model, one can see that the officers intervened
and presented both a display of authority and verbal communication in an effort to arrest Mr, Bauer.
In response, Mr. Bauer fled. Officer Heimsness yelled to Mr. Bauer that he wouldn't be able to get
out the locked door to the beer garden area. Both officers immediately tried to restrain Mr. Bauer
and were initially unable to do so. After struggling with hlm, they were able to get him to the
ground. They were unable to overcome Ills active resistance. The officers continually told Mr. Bauer
to stop resisting, get on the ground, and put his arms behind his back. Those commands were .
ignored. Officer Urso was attempting to handcuff Mr. Bauer's right hand. Officer Heimsness
initially attempted to restrain the left !11m and was unable to do so. It was at this time Officer
Heimsness moved to the stage of active countermeasm-es which are designed to create dysfunction in
a violently resisting suspect. Those countermeasures included kicks and knee strikes.

Mr. Bauer had some difficulty with him. Adam Pischke, who is an a t h l ~ t e at the University of
Various
February 26, 2007
Page 2
Wisconsin, was only able to restrain him by using a chokehold. He also had the bar manager holding
down the subject's legs with his body weight. I mention this because it demonstrates the level of
resistance that Mr. Bauer was exhibiting prior to the officers' arrival.
The concern in this case relates to the use of kicks to the head. There are 8 witnesses and 2 officers
who have provided vruying accounts of the incident. Officer Heimsness reported the kicks in his
report filed in the matter, as well as to the sergeant on the scene .and the Officer in Charge. He
acknowledges kicking the subject but indicated the subject's coat or sweatshirt had come up over the
spbject's head making it difficult to determine exactly where the kicks landed. In his interview with
me, he indicated neither the kicks nor the knee strikes were intended to strike the subject in the head.
He indicatedif that happened, it was inadvertent. Heimsness indicated he was attempting to strike
the subject in the upper torso, shoulder, and shouldyr area.
Some of the witnesses indicate that the kicks and knee strikes were directly to the head.
In reviewitig the witness statements, I believe that the statement of Adam Pischke is the most helpful.
Adam was the bouncer who initially restrained Mr. Bauer after the incident. Adrun is also the one
who pushed on .Mr. Bauer thereby assisting the officers in their efforts to take him to tlle ground.
(Note, it appears that neither officer realized this occurred.)
Adam indicated in his statement that the officer who was in the standipg position kicked the subject
in the head anywhere from three to seven times. In regard to whether the head was covered or not,
Adam stated, "There might have been for one of the stomps, maybe, but for the majority that I cap
remember, there was nothing over his head."
With regard to the IGlee strikes, Adam said, "I don't believe they were to his head directly. They
were to his midsection ,his ribs or the collarbone/shoulder area but there weren't any knee strikes
directly to the head, as far as I can remember."
Another witness was identified as Gan-ett Alexander. He is a student at UW and a part-time
employee of the State Street Brat & Grill. He was not working at the time of the incident but was
socializing at the bar. He indicated he had been drinking. Mr. Alexander's recollection is somewhat
confused and he thought there were more than two officers involved in the ruTest of Jacob Batler. He
indicated he had seen fiom his vantage point some kicks to the head but also stated, "I'm not sure if
any ofthe body hits were landed but it seemed like they were kicking him in the upper torso area."
Mr. Pischke provides information that Mr. Bauer's head may have been covered at some point during
tlus incident which corroborates the officers' reports. He also cleru-Iy provides confrrmation that the
knee strikes were not to the head area, which supports PO Heimsness's statements that he WaS
attempting to strike the person in the upper body area and not the head. Again, Mr. Pischke was
close enough that he could reach in and push on the resisting Mr. Bauer.
Mr. Alexander's statement, while not as clear.as Mr. Pischke's, supports the officer was __

opposed to Mr. Alexander who was standing right next to the situation. Mr. Alexander's statement
indicates the officer kneed the subject directly in the head. Of course, this conflicts with
Mr. Pischke's statement that the knee strikes were to the body.
I have considered the statements in light of the photos taken of Mr. Bauer after the incident.
Mr. Bauer's face and head do not have the amount of damage that one would expect to see from a
great number of forceful kicks to the head. I believe Captain McLay shares that opinion. This conld
snggest that the kicks to the head were not as damaging because the head was covered, or that the
kicks to the head were somewhat limited. Clearly, Mr. Bauer looks like he had been involved in a
fight but he certainly does not have the amonnt of damage tlmt I have observed on a numb.cr of
occasions of people with severe face and injuries related to fights .
.
In reviewing the nse of force, it appears that tlle officers had to escalate to using "incapacitating
techniques" to cause the immediate temporary cessation of violent behavior on the part of Mr. Bauer.
Kicks and knee strikes are authorized under the DAAT model as active connter measures. Normally
active counter measures are one step below incapacitating techniques. In this case, the application of
kicks and counter measures by Officer Heimsness appears to be reasonable under tlle circumstances.
Our policy requires officers to consider the existence of alternative methods of control. It appears
there were no other alternative methoqs available to the officers in. this case. They are also to
consider the physical size, strength and weaponry of tlle person the officers are trying to alTest.
Although Mr. Bauer's physical size is not unusual, he was exhibiting an extreme amount of strength.
The officers knew he had just smashed a glass into the face of another person, causing serious in jUlY,
and knew he had not been searched. They are to consider the actions of the person. Mr. Bauer was
exhibiting an extremely high level of violent resistance. The officers are to consider exigent
circumstances involved .. Exigent circnmstances in my view existed becanse Mr. Bauer was hying to
escape after he committed a violent felony and was displaying an extreme amoUlit of violent
resistance toward the officers. Officers are to .consider tlle severity of the offense involved in the
incident. As noted above, the offense was a violent felony. Officers are to consider whetller the
snbjectposes a.threat to the safety of officers 01' citizen.s. I believe Mr. Bauer did pose a threat in that
he had just injured a subject he did not know by smashing a glass into his face, had attempted to
escape, resisted bouncers' attempts to take him into custody, and violently resisted the two officers.
The last factor officers are to consider is whether the suspect is actively resisting arrest or attempting
to evade arrest. Clearly, the answer to that was that Mr. Baner was doing both.
It is also impOitant to note that once Mr. Bauer was taken into custody and restrained, all forceful
actions taken on part of the officers stopped. The officers requested an ambulance for Mr. Bauer and
he was conveyed to Meriter Hospital where he continned to be obnoxious and difficult. Mr. Bauer
refhsed medical attention. He was cleared by hospital staff for incarceration in the Dane County Jail.
CONCLUSION:
It is my belief this complaint should be classified as not sustained. I am making it not sustained
becanse I cannot sayJor certain that each kick or knee strike to the head was inadYertent _________ _

opposed to Mr. Alexander who was standing right next to the situation. Mr. Alexander's statement
indicates the officer kneed the subject directly in the head. Of course, this conflicts with
Mr. Pischke's statement that the knee strikes were to the body.
I have considered the statements in light of the photos taken of Mr. Bauer after the incident.

As I noted earlier, this was a somewhat unique and difficult situation for the officers involved.
Officer"Heimsness indicated in his interview that he had never had to use as many active
countermeasW'es as he did the night he had to arrest Jacob Bauer. It is also interesting to note that the
level of force that was used to restrain Mr. Bauer prior to the police arrival was what is commonly
referred to as a choke hold. This was applied by Mr. Pischke in his successful efforts to restrain and
detain Mr. Bauer. A chokehold is clearly an incapacitating technique, although it is not trained for
law enforcement in Wisconsin. I note this to illustrate the level of resistance Mr. Bauer was
exhibiting immediately before his contact with Madison police officers.
For the most part, the officers' actions were reasonable and necessary. This action includes the kicks
and lmee strikes. It is my belief that without using a high level of active countermeasures, Mr. Bauer
would have continued to fight aJ:ld attempt to flee, thus presenting a continuing danger to both
officers and the public.

As you know, I completed a follow-up interview regarding the State Street Brats case
with PO Cory Urso on 3/1/07 at 5:30 am in the Chiefs Conference Room. Officer Urso
was accompauiedby MPOA President ScottPavour.
Officer Urso was cooperative during the interview. He statement to me was consistent
with his earlier interview. He indicated he did not see Officer Heimsness deliver any
kicks, knee strikes, or punches to Jacob Bauer.
Officer Urso told me that he could tell a struggle was going on and that Jacob Bauer
continued to resist as they Were attempting to restrain him. He indicated to me that he
was looking down at the right hand and wrist of Mr. Bauer as he was trying to control
him. He told me he was especially concerned because there was a great deal of blood
present, and he wasn't sure where the blood was coming from. He said he was really
trying to avoid a significant exposure. He estimated that this time period in which he was
attempting to control Mr. Bauer's right arm was approximately 45 seconds to a minute.
He told me that Mr. Bauerput up'an awful lot of resistance at the time of his arrest. He
also told me that he was unaware of anybody reaching in and pushing Mr. Bauer, causing
Mr. Bauer and the officers to go to the floor. He indicated it was possible that this
happened. .
Officer Urso could not provide any additional information reference this investigation.
A copy ofthe transcript will be provided as soon as it is transcribed.
