So they have NOT charged him yet, all thosec reports were false they arrested him on the DV law blah blah.... This feels like a cop who made a hasty decision. Jacobs lawyers are licking their chops on this one.
One report I heard on the details is that the original 911 calls came in on Saturday about yelling and things being thrown. Jacobs wasn't arrested until days later. Doesn't seem like a hasty decesion by a single cop but rather a decision made up higher than the patrol cop that an arrest needed to be made. I may be getting wrong facts. There'll probably be more details on the facts and the timeline coming out.

Saw one thing were filing charges the burden of proof is a lot lower. When it comes to pressing charges in court it is much higher.

Sounds like whoever called 911 didn’t want to pursue it (doesn’t want to lose the gravy train maybe). But since they did the DA has to do their due diligence especially since this is all over the media. I’m sure it gets dropped quietly in a few weeks.

In Wisconsin, if there us a call for domestic violence, whoever is determined to be the aggressor has to be taken to jail. I did see an article where Jacobs left the scene before cops arrived and later turned himself in. Im guessing something did happen and they are just doing due diligence to decide what, if anything to formally charge him with.

WI has mandatory arrest for DV situation. Even a possibly made-up one.
Cops get called out, someone is going to jail.
I have to explain this rule to clients all the time. Yes you were both fighting, but the you're the one the neighbor heard yelling at the other, and the other is the one the neighbor heard screaming while she got hit. That she F'ed you up with the frying pan first only comes out later.
