Court Staff Safety a Concern After Defendant's Phone Calls

Brian Dujmovic, accused of pointing a gun at his neighbor and involving the tactical team in a 2011 standoff, will undergo a second competency evaluation after making numerous calls to court staff.

A judge in the Waukesha County Circuit Court has ordered a second competency evaluation for Brian Dujmovic.

Dujmovic, 41, is facing multiple charges after he involved police in a May 2011 standoff in his home on Devonwood Road. The standoff began after Dujmovic allegedly pointed a gun at his neighbor after a dispute regarding the use of golf clubs.

According to the criminal complaint, Dujmovic also threatened to drive a gas truck into the police station while speaking with officers on the phone, and cleaned his gun in the view of his neighbor after the altercation. After a late-night tactical situation in front of his home, Dujmovic — clad in a bulletproof vest — was taken into custody.

During a television interview in May 2011, Dujmovic denied that he pointed a gun at anyone.

On March 1 of this year, the court ordered a second competency evaluation for Dujmovic. According to court records, Dujmovic has been placing a multitude of phone calls with court staff. Judge Jennifer Dorow deemed there was a concern for the safety of staff, and ordered a competency hearing.

Dujmovic, who moved to Deerfield in March 2012, was placed in custody while the evaluation is completed. Dorow increased his bail to $30,000. He is not to contact any court staff by phone, and is only allowed to speak with the court clerk if there is an address change. 

In June 2011, an attorney representing Dujmovic ordered a competency evaluation. Two months later, Dujmovic was deemed competent to stand trial. His attorney withdrew from the case in November 2011. The case has been stalled several times due to delays.

In January 2012, Dujmovic accused Menomonee Falls police of abusing him in past altercations and covering up the alleged abuse. He also claimed prosecutors are ignoring his evidence of the alleged abuse.

Dujmovic is currently charged with the following misdemeanors:

  • Intentionally Point Firearm At Person (two counts)
  • Disorderly Conduct (three counts)
  • Resisting or Obstructing an Officer (two counts)
  • Operate Firearm While Intoxicated

A jury trial in 2011 was canceled, and a jury trial was again scheduled for March 11 this year. However, that trial will also be delayed. Dujmovic will appear in court at 1:15 p.m. April 8 for a hearing.
