Michael Richard Zacker, 56, of Pleasant Prairie, is the owner and broker of Cove Realty, a Kenosha-area real estate company. Cove Realty has been associated with several local real estate agents, including Kenosha County Sheriff David Zoerner, who has worked as a Realtor.

According to police radio traffic, officers were dispatched to a home in the 12100 block of 37th Avenue shortly after midnight for a reported domestic violence incident. Dispatchers told officers that a 45-year-old woman called 911 and described a “violent boyfriend in the home” before she stopped answering questions.

While dispatchers were still on the line, they could reportedly hear a man in the background saying he could not believe police had been called and that officers were coming.

The man later got on the phone and identified himself as Michael Zacker. He reportedly told dispatchers that the woman had come home intoxicated, was banging on the door, and was crying on the floor. However, dispatchers also reported that the woman could be heard in the background saying that he hit her.

Pleasant Prairie police officers and a Wisconsin State Patrol trooper responded to the residence. Radio traffic later indicated that officers made contact with the woman and that Zacker had been taken into custody.

Jail records show Zacker was booked into the Kenosha County Jail at 1:52 a.m. Saturday and released less than two hours later at 3:54 a.m.

The jail log listed two misdemeanor domestic abuse-related counts — battery, and disorderly conduct — and showed that Zacker posted a total of $650 bail.

Formal charges had not yet appeared in online court records as of Saturday morning, but if charges are filed, they will likely appear in the coming weeks.

Zacker is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

  10. Southside bar story about Mike approaching a bar, telling the bar tender to set up 10 shots in a row. He was said to have drank them one after another.
    The bar tender told him nobody drinks liquor that fast in that volume and asked if something was wrong. Mike supposedly state he is celebrating his first blowjob. The bar tender stated that was great though why drink so much alcohol so quickly?
    Mike responded that’s how much it takes to get the taste out of his mouth.

  11. Maybe this guy is a jerk. Maybe he’s a drunk. Maybe he’s a drunken jerk. But part of me still thinks that being a drunken jerk doesn’t automatically make him guilty. That’s what courts and jury trials are for.

  13. Mike is a solid character person. You fucking idiots that want to speculate, draw conclusions—-welp, I’d love to know your real names instead of anonymous because ‘those that live in glass houses shall not cast stones’. How about you hope for the best for everyone involved. I love how you fucks cannot help but hope/wish for the worst.

    1. Many on here are probably envious, Mike is successful, no doubt a millionaire. So let’s bash him, regardless of the facts, because the people on here are shit that get their rocks off by leaving negative remarks anonymously. Went to school with the loser Dennis Jantzen, glass house and he throws stones at everyone featured on this blog.

      8
      1. Being a millionaire these days doesn’t mean shit. Be serious. Any blue collar worker who started putting money in retirement 25 years ago is also a millionaire.

        When you are 60 years old and fat and ugly, no one gives a fuck about you…..even less when you’ve been accused of domestic violence and are known for hanging out at hole in the wall bars in Kenosha.

        He either committed domestic violence or his significant other is a 45 year old drunk who cries foul. Neither traits are attractive.

        9
        2
  14. Guy’s been a tool for a long time. Cheater, bimbo dater, kind of a knob. Not sure why people fawn, but I was never a fan. Karma has no menu. You get served what you deserve.

  15. He also constantly and regularly sexual harasses any female in Gordy’s (real estate clients too, take it from me directly unfortunately). Shady as all hell as a Realtor too.
