Madison — An arrest during the usually peaceful Capitol singalong protests resulted in an altercation Monday between police and a protester and a tentative felony battery charge against him.
The charge being recommended to prosecutors is the most severe since labor protests began here in February 2011 and since police stepped up arrests during the noon protests one month ago.
Also Monday, 21 Democratic lawmakers called for auditors to look into the circumstances surrounding the 11.7% pay increase that Gov. Walker's administration gave to the Capitol Police chief earlier this year.
The incident leading to the felony charge occurred about midway through Monday's protest when demonstrator Christopher J. Terrell, 25, sat down and was approached by police. While they were in the process of cuffing him his brother Damon Terrell, 22, was pinned by officers in a wrestling match that lasted about 25 seconds.
