Ethan Lindquist

GREEN BAY, Wis. — An Iron Mountain man facing a number of charges after reportedly having a drunken confrontation with authorities at Lambeau Field pleaded not guilty Thursday in Brown County Circuit Court.

Ethan Lindquist, 26, is accused of attempted battery of a law enforcement officer and attempted battery of an emergency rescue worker, both felonies punishable by up to three years in prison.

Lindquist also is charged with resisting and obstructing an officer, a nine-month misdemeanor; and two counts of disorderly conduct, a 90-day penalty.

A status conference is set for Feb. 24.

According to the criminal complaint, deputies with the Brown County Sheriff’s Office saw Lindquist arguing with a security officer near the 1919 Kitchen and Tap sports bar and gastropub inside Lambeau Field on Oct. 14. Lindquist reportedly was upset 1919 staff refused to serve him more alcohol and asked him to leave.

When deputies attempted to escort Lindquist from the premises, he struggled and then further resisted when they decided to arrest him. Security staff and Green Bay police had to assist in handcuffing him as Lindquist kicked and threatened to kill the officers while being placed in a squad car, the complaint stated.

During transport to the Brown County Jail, Lindquist reportedly continued to disparage officers and repeatedly headbutted the squad car’s plastic divider until he was bleeding heavily, according to the complaint.

As he was transferred to an ambulance, Lindquist reportedly threatened to bite emergency medical responders and had to be physically restrained during transport to the Aurora BayCare Medical Center. After treatment, medical responders refused to transport Lindquist. Officers placed a helmet on Lindquist’s head for the duration of the ride.
