Sergeant
Michael Olivieri says dispatchers traced the call and sent officers to the

a car with stolen plates and finding suspected burglary tools.
Sergeant Olivieri says the men admitted to mistakenly calling 9-1-1 in their

A $500 cash bail was ordered today for a 35-year-old Fond du Lac man who
was arrested early Sunday after he handed an officer a marijuana pipe
instead of his driver’s
license.Thomas E. Bartow Jr., 44½ N. Main St., made an initial court
appearance this morning where he was charged with possession of drug
paraphernalia and resisting
or obstructing an officer.Bartow was apparently intoxicated when officers
found him passed out in a bathroom stall at the Ramada Hotel, 1 N. Main St.,
around 1 a.m. Sunday, according to a Fond du Lac Police Department
report. He was fully clothed and sitting on a toilet. Officers shook Bartow
several times before he responded. They asked him if he knew where he was and
Bartow replied, “yeah, West Bend,” according to the report. The officer asked
Bartow for identification and Bartow pulled out a yellow and gray marijuana pipe
and handed it to the officer, the report said. The officer again asked for
identification, and Bartow took out his checkbook, ripped
out a check and handed it to the officer. The officer then asked Bartow to
exit the bathroom. Bartow walked out of the hotel and started walking down
Division Street, ignoring the officers’
orders to stop, according to the report. Officers used a Taser gun on Bartow
after he continued to be uncooperative, according to the report. He was arrested
and taken to the Fond du Lac County
Jail. He told officers he’d never seen the marijuana pipe before, according
to the report.
