| On Saturday 12-01-07 at approximately 1811 hours,
Officers of the Kiel Police Department responded to a domestic violence
call in the 700 block of Milwaukee Street in Kiel. When officers
arrived on scene and attempted to investigate, they found the male
suspect, Shane L. Henkel, age 28, of Kiel, had barricaded himself in the
basement of the home and refused to cooperate with officers. As
Kiel officers attempted to negotiate with Henkel, he made threats to
shoot police officers. With the assistance of other law
enforcement agencies, Kiel Police set up a perimeter around the home and
officers eventually deployed pepper spray into the basement area of the
home. Henkel succumbed to the pepper spray, quickly surrendered,
and was taken into custody without incident and was then transported to
the Manitowoc County Jail where he is being held on recommended charges
of misdemeanor disorderly conduct, damage to property, and resisting
arrest. During the incident, Kiel Police were assisted by officers
from the New Holstein Police Department and deputies from the Manitowoc
County Sheriff's Department, Calumet County Sheriff's Department, and
the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department. |
