Officer Resigns Again After Controversy | Madison News

A fired Wisconsin police officer who once threatened to burn down a family’s home is back on the job — only to quit again before being terminated. The explosive video that led to his first firing also landed him and two others in legal trouble, but charges were dropped. Despite the chief’s claim he was given a second chance because “everyone makes mistakes,” Oetzman’s record includes speeding with a child and neglecting duties. The threatened family is furious over his swift rehire, while his attorney blames PTSD. Meanwhile, Oetzman is suing the officer who recorded the damning footage, calling it private. The department insists it’s focused on hiring the best. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
