In a bar fight that led to his resignation, a now-former Mauston police officer was allegedly caught on video choking another patron at the bar to the point where he almost lost consciousness.
The incident occurred after the victim was seen in a verbal altercation with the police officerâs girlfriend, who was also a Mauston police officer at the time.
Brian Raabe, the police officer who allegedly choked the victim, was charged with misdemeanors of disorderly conduct and battery and resigned Oct. 30. Police officer McKena Huffman, who was also Raabeâs girlfriend, resigned Oct. 20 and was not charged for her part in the incident.
