On the evening of October 22nd around 8:12p.m, an officer was traveling north bound on Sand Lake Road near County Road OT. As the officer passed a vehicle traveling southbound on Sand Lake Road, a passenger in the vehicle threw an object at the patrol vehicle, striking the windshield.

A traffic stop was subsequently conducted, and the suspect was arrested and booked into the La Crosse County Jail on two felony charges.

As a result of the investigation, it appears this was not an isolated incident. Similar incidents may have occurred earlier that same evening and in the weeks leading up to this event, in and around Holmen.

If you have been the victim of a similar incident, we encourage you to contact our agency.
