Бывший заключенный, отпущенный после срока, задержан в Бивер-Дэме за непристойное поведение в обнаженном виде

BEAVER DAM — Ryan J. Denning, a 38-year-old Beaver Dam resident, was released Tuesday, Aug. 18 from Waupun Correctional Institution after serving time for burglary with a dangerous weapon and car theft. He was later arrested the same day for lewd and lascivious behavior in Beaver Dam. A Beaver Dam Police Officer was dispatched to the 200 block of Madison Street in the City of Beaver Dam for a report of a man who was naked and skateboarding through a job site on Madison Street. The man was at the dam, and he was walking back and forth, still naked, but wearing one sock, the criminal complaint says. The officer observed the man, who was alone and naked, doing jumping jacks. He later jumped naked into the Beaver Dam Lake. Beaver Dam Police Chief John Kreuziger said the case was a disturbing one with an unacceptable series of events. “We expect people who are leaving prison to reintegrate into society responsibly and this behavior falls short of that standard,” Kreuziger said. According to the criminal complaint, the officer walked along the river wall behind the 200 block of Madison Street. The officer made his way to Cotton Mill Park, located just off of Haskell Street in the City of Beaver Dam where he witnessed a naked man standing on top of the dam on the opposite side of the fence. A short time later, the officer could see the man jump off the dam and where he was standing up near the water level marking tubes where the depth of the water can be measured. There is a black fence all the way around this area with a spike type of metal at the top to try and keep people out. Denning did jump off this into the Beaver Dam Lake, at which time, the officer began motioning to him to swim to him and other officers. Denning gave the officer a “thumbs up” and began swimming further into the lake. He yelled to the officer he was going to swim to the other side where his towel and clothes were. The Beaver Police Officer told responding units to go to the parking lot and they watched Denning get out of the water naked. When officers asked Denning what he was doing, he replied, “I grew up doing this.” One officer recognized a bracelet commonly worn by probation and parole individuals on Denning. He confirmed he was on probation for burglary, according to the complaint. A probation and parole hold was placed on Denning along with a charge of lewd and lascivious conduct. Police noted in the criminal complaint they received two calls referencing Denning around the dam and people seeing him naked in the area and running around. There were also kids near the lake. Kreuziger said Denning is currently in Dodge County Jail.
