Milwaukee Man Fled Greenfield Police, Threw Urine At Officer: Cops

GREENFIELD, WI — A Milwaukee man faces multiple criminal charges after he led Greenfield police on a chase and then later threw urine on a police officer at a local hospital, police said.

Aramis Butler appeared in court on Tuesday, five days after Greenfield police were called to check on a woman at the Olive Garden restaurant on 76th Street. Police said that Butler left the parking lot in the woman’s car, which started a chase by police that lasted several blocks, prosecutors said on Tuesday.

Officers used a PIT maneuver to end the chase, which forced the car Butler was driving into a tree. Police use a PIT (precision mobilization technique) in pursuit situations, which forces a vehicle to turn sideways abruptly, which forces the driver of a vehicle to lose control or stop.

Prosecutors said in court on Tuesday that officers found a gun, drugs, and a large amount of cash in the car. Butler was taken to an area hospital, where prosecutors said that he spit at one officer and threw urine on another, prosecutors said.

Butler has been charged with fleeing and eluding a police officer, possession of a firearm, possession of cocaine with the intent to deliver, and throwing and discharging a bodily fluid at a public safety employee, prosecutors said.

Butler was ordered held on a $3,500 cash bond.
