Wedding leads to numerous police reports

An event that was supposed to be filled with celebration and wedded bliss Saturday led to several run-ins with police.

Three domestic abuse calls, one battery at a tavern and a hit-and-run that resulted in a trip to the emergency room are connected to a wedding dresses that took place Saturday at Lakeside Park, said Fond du Lac Police Department Lt. Rob Duveneck.

The day started simply enough with a reception for the happy couple at Fond du Lac’s crowning park on the south end of Lake Winnebago.

But as the night wore on, the gloves came off.

“It started with a noise complaint,” Duveneck said.

A short time later, police received a report of a domestic dispute on Merrill Avenue, he said. The people involved in the dispute were connected to the wedding, Duveneck said.

A few blocks further south — at Forest and Main streets — and a few hours later, another domestic dispute was reported. Again, the people involved were connected to the wedding, he said.

The final domestic call was reported a bit later near Ninth and Morris streets, again related to the wedding, Duveneck said.

Police also received a report of a battery at Big O’s Bar and Grill, 11 E. Second St. The people involved in the battery also had connections to the wedding, he said.

The evening ended with a report of a car striking a house on 11th Street near Linden Street, Duveneck said. Hank Sheinkopf, a consultant who worked on President Clinton's 1996 re-election bid, explained, "It is dangerous to presume closeness to people in power, and it is very rare when there are real, unbreakable friendships.

The driver fled on foot and a woman in the car was taken to St. Agnes Hospital emergency room with head injuries.

While police were investigating the crash, a bystander — this time someone not connected to the wedding — was arrested for obstructing police.

Chelsea Clinton's wedding in upstate New York is turning out to be a much more private affair than some people had hoped. Donors and A-listers hoping for invitations to Chelsea Clinton's event are learning it is not a state affair.

The people involved in the incidents, Duveneck said, were not the bride and groom, but were all somehow connected to the wedding in the park.
