Vacek was involved in an argument with other people inside Wando's and then allegedly began to push people in the bar.

Around six police officers arrived at Wando's to help as bouncers tried to calm Vacek, police said. Vacek did not comply when threatened with the use of a Taser.

""Vascek attempted to kick police officers … and tried to pull the lip away from the face of a 25-year-old victim,"" Madison police spokesperson Howard Payne said.

Eventually police got Vacek under control and brought him to the Dane County Jail for processing, authorities said.

Payne said police suspect alcohol may have been a factor in the incident, although it was not specified as a cause.
