On May 31, 2024. An officer from the Independence Police Department was observing traffic around 11:00 P.M. when he heard two male voices shouting profanities. The individuals then walked out from behind a building where the officer was able to see them. He chirped his siren in an attempt to get them to stop, but they began pushing one another and walked out of view. The officer then drove around the building and saw the two males laying on the ground wrestling with a case of Twisted Tea next to them.
The officer exited his patrol vehicle and shouted at the males to stop. They immediately jumped up off the ground and one of the males who was later identified as Marshall stated "He tried stabbing me". A short time later, an officer from the Arcadia Police Department arrived on scene, along with a deputy from the Trempealeau County Sheriff's Department. The other male individual was identified as Josiah and had a strong odor of intoxicants coming from his person. Josiah was asked how old he was and he stated that he was 19 years old.
An officer asked Josiah what happened and if he had a knife. Josiah stated that he did not and allowed an officer to pat him down. Josiah explained that they were at a party and were going home when Marshall started freaking out on everyone in the car. As they exited, Marshal began arguing with him and they began wrestling. Neither Josiah or Marshall wished to press charges against each other. Josiah agreed to a PBT test which resulted in a reading of .161 %.
Marshall was asked about what happened and advised that it was his fault. Marshall said he freaked out and started wrestling Josiah. An officer asked Marshall where they were coming from. Marshall stated that he was at a party but that he didn't even know where he was. Officers also detected a strong odor of intoxicants coming from Marshall. They asked him how old he was and Marshall stated he was 18. Marshall admitted to drinking when asked and agreed to provide a PBT which resulted in a reading of.037%.
Marshall called his friend who was originally driving to pick him up, but stated that Josiah would need to find his own ride. An officer advised Marshall that he would be receiving a citation for Disorderly Conduct along with Underage Drinking in the mail. Once Marshall's ride arrived, officers went back to speak with Josiah.
Officers explained to Josiah that they would give him a ride to Kwik Trip where he could make calls for a ride and wait there. Josiah asked if he could give them gas money to drive him to his house. Officers explained that they could not and Josiah asked if he could get his phone charger from the vehicle he was in earlier.
An officer approached the vehicle and was greeted by two females who were in the front seat. The officer asked if they had Josiah's phone charger. They looked around but stated that they did not have it. As the officer was speaking with them, he could smell an odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. The officer explained that he could smell the marijuana and they denied having any in the vehicle. The officer explained that he had probable cause to search the vehicle and that everyone would go to jail if he had to search for it, or they could turn it over which would result in a municipal citation. Marshall, who was in the back seat quickly stated, "bro, just tell him". The front seat passenger then stated that it was hers and said it was located in the trunk. She exited the vehicle and retrieved a bag containing a rolled blunt. The female was identified as Alyssa and advised that she smoked earlier in the day. Alyssa provided a PBT breath sample which resulted in a reading of .000%. An officer explained to Alyssa that she would be receiving a citation for Possession of THC in the mail. Prior to releasing Alyssa, an officer met with the driver who was asked if she had been drinking. The female driver stated that she had not been drinking or smoking marijuana. All of the occupants of the vehicle were then released from the scene.
Officers then went back to speak with Josiah who asked if he could just stay in his vehicle.
He was advised that he could but would be pulled over and charged with DUI if he was caught driving. Josiah then stated that he would stay at a friend's house who lived nearby. An officer explained to Josiah that he would be receiving citations for Disorderly Conduct along with Underage Drinking which would be mailed to his address. After clearing the scene, an officer returned to the Independence Police Department and tested the substance suspected to be marijuana which tested positive for THC.
Josiah and Marshall were both found guilty for Underage Drinking and Disorderly Conduct. They were both also ordered to pay $716 in fines. Alyssa’s Possession of THC charge was later amended to Disorderly Conduct and she was required to pay a $263.50 fine.
