Green Bay Press-Gazette - Deaf man, beaten; his bicycle stolen

A 30-year-old man out on bail for allegedly attacking a state trooper during a drunken-driving arrest was nabbed early Saturday for allegedly beating up a deaf man and stealing his bicycle.

James Fischer was charged Monday with robbery by use of force and bail jumping for allegedly taking a man's bicycle as he rode on South Broadway in Ashwaubenon.

The victim knocked on the door of a home in the 2200 block of South Broadway about 4:50 a.m. and asked for help. When public safety officers arrived, the man asked for a pen and paper and explained that he had been punched in the face and the attacker made off with his bicycle.

Public safety officers found Fischer and the custom bicycle a short time later. During an interview after his arrest, Fischer denied hitting anyone, but said he took the bike, which he claimed to have found outside of a liquor store. When officers said they thought Fischer was lying, he became upset and demanded a lawyer, which concluded the questioning.

Fischer was released Sept. 12 after posting $7,500 in his pending battery to a police officer case. In that incident, Fischer allegedly attacked a state trooper who had stopped him on U.S. 41, near Harbor Lights Road in Suamico.

Brown County Court Commissioner Lawrence Gazeley ordered Fischer held in lieu of $7,500 on the robbery charge and reinstated the $7,500 bail in the other case. It is unclear if prosecutors will seek to have Fischer's initial $7,500 bail was revoked.

Fischer is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on the battery case on Wednesday.
