Selective Amnesia, Fainting When Caught With Cheating Behavior
Waukesha Police Department calls from Aug. 9 through Aug. 12.

What to do when you have a wife AND a girlfriend?
A Menomonee Falls man apparently fakes medical issues – and having selective amnesia – when he is caught with his less-than faithful ways, according to his wife and police.
Waukesha police were called to Waukesha Memorial Hospital at 1:14 a.m. Saturday after receiving a report of a woman giving a man Valium. The caller wanted a well-being check. The man was with his girlfriend and fainted, so the girlfriend took him to a clinic so he could receive a dosage of Valium. At the clinic, the man fainted again and hit his head.

Waukesha police noted the man did not take the Valium to harm himself after he told police he took the drug for anxiety. Waukesha police did not have criteria to hold the man on a mental commitment as he was at the hospital for a possible concussion.
However, the man also had selective amnesia at the hospital when the issues of infidelity were addressed. The man also asked that his wife and his sister not be allowed in his hospital room so his girlfriend could remain in the room.
