FOND DU LAC COUNTY, WI (KFIZ, WHBL) - Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s officials are looking for a 22-year-old Eden man who got into a scuffle with a deputy who was investigating a noise complaint last Saturday in the Town of Ashford.
Sheriff’s Captain Rick Olig says a deputy spotted some activity behind a vehicle and three men took off running. During the pursuit the deputy tried to use a stun gun on Colton O’Brien who struggled with the deputy. He hit the deputy in the face and body, then tried to remove the deputy’s handgun from a holster. Another of the three men, a 19-year-old Campbellsport man, then got involved in the struggle and got the deputy’s taser. Although the Campbellsport man pointed the taser at the deputy he didn’t fire. Instead he and O’Brien ran away.
The Campbellsport man was taken into custody Wednesday. Olig says he talked to O’Brien Wednesday, but he opted not to turn himself in. O’Brien is 6 foot tall, 160 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
Anyone who has seen him is asked to call the Fond du Lac County Communications Center at (920)-929-3390.
