All charges are scheduled to be dismissed against a Kenosha activist and political candidate who fought with police and shouted obscenities at a county board meeting during the Summer of 2022. Joel P. Trudell, 45, of Kenosha, entered into an agreement this morning, the morning of trial, that immediately dismissed the criminal charge of disorderly conduct. If Trudell stays out of trouble for six months, the other charge, resisting an officer, will be dismissed on September 18, 2024. During a short colloquy with the judge, Trudell said that he was not suffering from any mental illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activist prosecutor Zeke Wiedenfeld (D), the Walworth County District Attorney who approved the sweetheart deal today, didn’t tell KCE why he made such a deal. KCE interviewed Zeke for several blocks asking him about the case. He was so flustered, that he walked about three blocks past his vehicle. This video interview is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trudell is often seen speaking at public meetings and a lot of people think of his behavior as being \u201coff.\u201d He is a candidate for City of Kenosha Alderman this spring, but Trudell is so extreme, unpredictable, and deranged, that the local Democrat party, which itself is extreme<\/a>, has endorsed his opponent, Kenny Harper, in the upcoming city council race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the June 21, 2022 Kenosha County Board meeting, Trudell was in rare form, according to sources familiar with him. Trudell was constantly interrupting other speakers during the citizens\u2019 comment portion at the beginning of the meeting. He was warned several times by County Board Chairman Gabe Nudo to stop disrupting the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I was speaking at the meeting, Trudell was heckling me. Again, Chairman Nudo asked Trudell to stop disrupting the meeting. Seen on this video is me asking the Chairman to address Trudell\u2019s rambling while I was speaking. Police warned Trudell also. He can be seen blowing kisses to the two seasoned deputies present for security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Trudell Disrupting Meeting And Blowing Deputies Kisses<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few minutes later, Trudell takes the podium and rambles on for many minutes. He then begins to get disorderly and argue with the Chairman. He then suggested that a man who passed him from behind may have had a gun. He went off topic and started verbally attacking members of the board by name, questioning why they accepted campaign contributions, which is normal in elections. After many warnings, Nudo asks the deputies to remove Trudell from the podium. Nudo didn\u2019t ask, nor did he have the legal authority to order that Trudell be arrested. He only has the authority to order Trudell be removed from the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"963\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kenoshacountyeye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-1.png?resize=768%2C963&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kenoshacountyeye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-1.png?w=768&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kenoshacountyeye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-1.png?resize=239%2C300&ssl=1 239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Joel P.

Trudell said many times, \u201cNo sir\u201d to deputies when they told him to remove himself from the podium. He then visibly and obviously resisted arrest. See three below videos of his resisting arrest, including his disorderly conduct when he screamed obscenities in a crowded room with minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"6\/21\/2022 Arrest of Extreme Liberal Protester Joel Trudell of Kenosha (Submitted Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qwIBWEnkMTI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"6\/21\/2022 Arrest of Extreme Liberal Protester Joel Trudell of Kenosha (Submitted Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zbuotoT1mnk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Kenosha County Sheriff Deputy Wilson Body Camera Video Joel Trudell 6-21-2022 Arrest\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ar7bkvPsmno?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, two on-duty deputies and two off-duty Kenosha Police Officers got Trudell into custody.

Hours after the arrest, about a dozen or more local democrats reached out to DA Graveley and asked him to ignore Trudell\u2019s crimes and not charge him. KCE was leaked many of these emails. District attorneys are supposed to make charging decisions based on the evidence and the law. They are prohibited from giving in to political pressure. We asked DA Graveley today if he would let pressure from fellow democrats influence his choice. He told us he couldn\u2019t comment on a specific case.

All charges are scheduled to be dismissed against a Kenosha activist and political candidate who fought with police and shouted obscenities at a county board meeting during the Summer of 2022. Joel P. Trudell, 45, of Kenosha, entered into an agreement this morning, the morning of trial, that immediately dismissed the criminal charge of disorderly conduct. If Trudell stays out of trouble for six months, the other charge, resisting an officer, will be dismissed on September 18, 2024. During a short colloquy with the judge, Trudell said that he was not suffering from any mental illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activist prosecutor Zeke Wiedenfeld (D), the Walworth County District Attorney who approved the sweetheart deal today, didn’t tell KCE why he made such a deal. KCE interviewed Zeke for several blocks asking him about the case. He was so flustered, that he walked about three blocks past his vehicle. This video interview is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trudell is often seen speaking at public meetings and a lot of people think of his behavior as being \u201coff.\u201d He is a candidate for City of Kenosha Alderman this spring, but Trudell is so extreme, unpredictable, and deranged, that the local Democrat party, which itself is extreme<\/a>, has endorsed his opponent, Kenny Harper, in the upcoming city council race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the June 21, 2022 Kenosha County Board meeting, Trudell was in rare form, according to sources familiar with him. Trudell was constantly interrupting other speakers during the citizens\u2019 comment portion at the beginning of the meeting. He was warned several times by County Board Chairman Gabe Nudo to stop disrupting the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I was speaking at the meeting, Trudell was heckling me. Again, Chairman Nudo asked Trudell to stop disrupting the meeting. Seen on this video is me asking the Chairman to address Trudell\u2019s rambling while I was speaking. Police warned Trudell also. He can be seen blowing kisses to the two seasoned deputies present for security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Trudell Disrupting Meeting And Blowing Deputies Kisses<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few minutes later, Trudell takes the podium and rambles on for many minutes. He then begins to get disorderly and argue with the Chairman. He then suggested that a man who passed him from behind may have had a gun. He went off topic and started verbally attacking members of the board by name, questioning why they accepted campaign contributions, which is normal in elections. After many warnings, Nudo asks the deputies to remove Trudell from the podium. Nudo didn\u2019t ask, nor did he have the legal authority to order that Trudell be arrested. He only has the authority to order Trudell be removed from the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"963\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kenoshacountyeye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-1.png?resize=768%2C963&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kenoshacountyeye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-1.png?w=768&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kenoshacountyeye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-1.png?resize=239%2C300&ssl=1 239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Joel P.

Trudell said many times, \u201cNo sir\u201d to deputies when they told him to remove himself from the podium. He then visibly and obviously resisted arrest. See three below videos of his resisting arrest, including his disorderly conduct when he screamed obscenities in a crowded room with minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"6\/21\/2022 Arrest of Extreme Liberal Protester Joel Trudell of Kenosha (Submitted Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qwIBWEnkMTI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"6\/21\/2022 Arrest of Extreme Liberal Protester Joel Trudell of Kenosha (Submitted Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zbuotoT1mnk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Kenosha County Sheriff Deputy Wilson Body Camera Video Joel Trudell 6-21-2022 Arrest\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ar7bkvPsmno?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, two on-duty deputies and two off-duty Kenosha Police Officers got Trudell into custody.

In Wisconsin, a peace officer has the authority to make arrests and book individuals when probable cause exists. They cannot, however charge someone. Only duly elected DA\u2019s or the State AG can do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The local Democratic party organized a petition campaign. Hours after the arrest, about a dozen or more local democrats reached out to DA Graveley and asked him to ignore Trudell\u2019s crimes and not charge him. KCE was leaked many of these emails. District attorneys are supposed to make charging decisions based on the evidence and the law. They are prohibited from giving in to political pressure. We asked DA Graveley today if he would let pressure from fellow democrats influence his choice. He told us he couldn\u2019t comment on a specific case. We then asked him to commit to <em>generally keeping politics<\/em> out of his charging decisions. He refused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of the emails we were leaked that DA Graveley received from Kenosha Democrats who asked him to <em>drop all charges<\/em> or something similar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lori Hawkins (Kenosha County Democratic Party Chairman)<\/strong><br \/>Jodi Muerhoff (Kenosha County Democratic Party Secretary)<br \/><strong>Tanya Kitts Lewinski (Kenosha Teachers Union President)<\/strong><br \/>Holly Kangas (Kenosha Alderman)<br \/><strong>Tenille Kangas-Isome-Fick-Thornton (Signed Kenosha YMCA Member Engagement Director) Daughter of Alderman Holly Kangas<\/strong><br \/>Ronald Stevens (Former boys and Girls Club Director)<br \/><strong>Laura Marran<\/strong><br \/>Nina Ferraro (Liberal Activist)<br \/><strong>Mary Manthei (2 Emails)<\/strong><br \/>Sam Roochnik<br \/><strong>Amanda Townsend<\/strong><br \/>Kaylynn Steinmetz<br \/><strong>Stacy Moore<\/strong><br \/>Sue Benning<br \/><strong>David Rinke<\/strong><br \/>Marieta \u201cMarie\u201d Huff<br \/><strong>Helen Breitenbach<\/strong><br \/>Amy Feret<br \/><strong>Amy Brothen<\/strong><br \/>Toni Hanson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graveley responded to most of the people saying \u201cThe Kenosha DA\u2019s Office will continue to try to be neutral referees in these incredibly partisan, tribal times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kenoshacountyeye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kenoshacountyeye-4.png?resize=768%2C511&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kenoshacountyeye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kenoshacountyeye-4.png?w=768&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kenoshacountyeye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kenoshacountyeye-4.png?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Walworth County DA Zeke Wiedenfeld (D)<br \/>(File Photo by Kevin Mathewson, Kenosha County Eye)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After telling KCE that he had no conflict and will personally handle the case, he then kicked the case to Walworth County DA Zeke Wiedenfeld (D) who charged Trudell.
