Greendale Woman Charged After Trying to Fight Arrest

A Greendale woman is facing charges after she allegedly got into a physical altercation with her boyfriend then fought Greendale police officers trying to take her into custody.

Michelle Buck was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Sunday with one count of obstructing an officer. If convicted, she faces up to nine months in prison and $10,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

On Sunday, Greendale police officers were called to a residence in the 5600 block of Euston Street on reports of domestic violence taking place and when they arrived they found Buck lying on the floor of a bedroom. Buck told police officers her boyfriend had battered her and she called to have him arrested.

However, during the investigation, officers discovered Buck was the one who committed domestic violence and also had an outstanding municipal arrest warrant, so she was told she was being arrested.

Buck pulled her hands away from an officer trying to handcuff her and refused to comply with commands. She got belligerent with officers, but was eventually handcuffed.

While being taken outside, she tried to kick a wall. Once outside, she dropped to her knees and began to scream at the top of her lungs.

She was eventually put into hobble restraints so she could be put in a squad car and taken into custody. A blood alcohol test revealed Buck was legally intoxicated at the time of the incident with a blood alcohol level of 0.115.

She’s currently being held in Milwaukee County Jail on a $200 signature bond.
