On October 19 at 4:30pm, police were dispatched to a family fight at an apartment on the east side of the city. An investigation revealed a 23 yr old male from Sturgeon Bay got upset at other occupants, calling them derogatory names and threatening to hit/kill one. Police learned earlier in the week, the suspect had grabbed a female by the arm, causing a bruise/injury.
The male was arrested for disorderly conduct-domestic related. The male was very irrational and agitated, and appeared to be suffering from a mental health episode. The male was taken to the hospital and an evaluation done by a crisis worker determined for the suspects safety, he needed to be transported to a mental health facility. The criminal case was referred to the DA's Office.
