MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - State finance co-chair Robin Vos – who had beer dumped on his head in a hotel bar this week – said protesting has gone out of control.

26-year-old Miles Kristan of Racine turned himself in to Madison Police Thursday.

That was after a Capitol staffer identified him as the pro-union protestor who threw beer at Vos and two other GOP lawmakers Wednesday evening in a hotel bar on Madison’s Capitol Square.

Kristan was cited for disorderly conduct and then released. He’s due in court October 10th.

Vos, an Assembly Republican from Racine County, issued a statement saying he supports free speech but quote, “It’s a shame when the expression turns into criminal behavior.” He said lawmakers are “regularly harassed” by certain protestors. Vos called it an “unfortunate reminder of what lawmakers have to put up with every day in Madison.”

It’s not just in Madison, apparently.

Former Senate Republican Randy Hopper, who was recalled a month ago, says he still gets harassed every day in his home town of Fond du Lac – if nothing else by people honking their horns and screaming as they go by.

Hopper told Milwaukee radio talk show host Charlie Sykes on WTMJ that his family has also been harassed since he lost his Senate seat – and it’s brought his young daughter to tears.

Vos said he hoped the protestors would realize this type of behavior only hurts their cause with the public.

Assembly Republican Steve Nass of Whitewater issued a statement Friday blaming Madison’s law enforcement leaders for what he called an “escalation of disorderly and dangerous conduct.”
