Here's a local one, though the website looks similar so maybe a parent company?

"...The footage showed Knutson driving on the grass even though there were no other vehicles in the driveway at the time. The defense counsel also said that officers at the scene seemed to laugh at the suspect’s plight.

According to the complaint, the footage also showed Knutson mimicking the suspect hobbling which generated laughter from the other officers at the scene...."

"...

Misdemeanor
Up to nine months in prison
Misconduct/Office-Fraud/Records/Statement
Felony
Up to three and a half years in prison...."


Dude should be done ever being a police officer. But we all know the whole good-ole-boy BS that goes on in backwoods WI. He'll hide out in some Population 1000 town and keep collecting a paycheck for being an a$$hole. Edited to add - after a plea on the misdemeanor which will land him a fine and a clean record.
