Mukwonago Kwik Trip scuffle, officer kicked, gun grabbed: complaint
Dean Henry
MUKWONAGO, Wis. - Dean Henry, 39, of Mukwonago, is charged after prosecutors say he kicked a police officer and tried to grab the officer's gun during a scuffle as police tried removing him from Kwik Trip.
It happened around 8 p.m. on July 10 at the store on Rochester.
A criminal complaint says Henry had been told twice that day to leave the store, and officers responded that evening to inform him he was not allowed to be there.
Prosecutors say Henry became agitated and started swearing at officers, saying he didn't need to leave, he had done nothing wrong and he was allowed to be there. The complaint says he was "flexing his arms" and, at one point, threatened to throw coffee at the police. He also jumped up onto the countertop as if he was going to go back behind the cash register area, but police blocked him, the complaint says.
