Greenfield chase, driver 'threw urine at officer:' prosecutors
MILWAUKEE - A Sheboygan man is in trouble, and it's not just because of the chase police say he started. What prosecutors say he did at the hospital led to more charges.
Aramis Butler's courtroom yawn came before he heard the wake-up call as he made his initial appearance Tuesday, May 30.
On May 25, Greenfield police were called to check on a woman at the Olive Garden on 76th Street. After arriving, prosecutors say officers noticed Butler driving the woman's car out of the lot. Prosecutors say an officer started chasing the car.

Police say the chase spanned several blocks. It ended after a PIT maneuver sent the car into a tree near 76th and Howard. The chase was over, but the drama was not.
"When they finally did arrest him, he had a bag in the car which contained a gun, drugs and a substantial amount of cash," said Gregg Herman, prosecutor.
Herman shared what Greenfield police say Butler did at the hospital.
"Threw urine at one officer, spit at another officer," said Herman.
