Former Milwaukee [tag]police officer[\/tag] Jon Bartlett has been sentenced to 4 1\/2 years in prison following his convictions on [tag]felony[\/tag] charges related to [tag]bail jumping[\/tag] and threatening to blow up the police station where he used to work.<\/p>\n
Judge David Hansher called Bartlett a “menace to society” and followed his prison time with 5 years of [tag]probation[\/tag] and a $10,000 fine. Hansher said to Bartlett, “I find you are a ticking time bomb about to explode at any minute.”<\/p>\n
Barlett is currently being held by federal officials on charges of trying to buy two firearms, which is prohibited for anyone charged with a felony. He also faces state charges of substanial battery in the Frank Jude Jr. beating case, as there was a hung jury on those charges earlier this year. He also faces potential federal charges in the Jude case.<\/p>\n
Jon Bartlett spent 5 years on the Milwaukee police force before being fired on May 24, 2005 for participating in the Frank Jude beating. Eight other off-duty officers were also fired for their part in the Jude case. Bartlett was still receiving his paycheck (even though fired) under state law, and has been paid about $97,000 under this law. That will end as of today, due to his felony conviction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
