Cops: Dad Arrested for Taping Packers Jersey to Son, 7
Wednesday, January 16, 2008
PORTAGE, Wis. - Upset that his 7-year-old son wouldn't wear a Green Bay
Packers jersey during the team's playoff victory Saturday, a man restrained
the boy for an hour with tape and taped the jersey onto him.
Mathew Kowald was cited for disorderly conduct in connection with the
incident with his son at their home in Pardeeville, Lt. Wayne Smith of the
Columbia County Sheriff's Department said. Pardeeville is about 30 miles
north of Madison.
The 36-year-old Kowald was arrested Monday after his wife told authorities
about the incident. Kowald was taken to the county jail and held until
Wednesday, when he pleaded no contest, paid a fine of $186 and was released.
Kowald's wife filed a restraining order Wednesday, so Kowald will not be
able to have contact with his family, Smith said. Smith said other domestic
issues have surfaced, though he wouldn't elaborate.
The boy refused to wear the jersey Saturday, when the Packers beat the
Seattle Seahawks in a playoff game, Smith said. Smith said the incident
sounded strange when reported at first, but the mother took pictures with
her cell phone and that type of evidence is difficult to dispute.
