Sheriff's Deputies In Trouble After Fight At Bar
MILWAUKEE - Two Milwaukee County sheriff's deputies are in trouble after a fight at a local bar.
According to reports, the fight that started at Rosie's between a Marquette student and off-duty deputies got ugly.
Now, Sheriff David Clarke is speaking out, but he's not taking the side of his deputies.
Two Milwaukee County sheriff's deputies, members of the law enforcement biker group called the Renegade Pigs are in hot water. They are accused of beating up a Marquette student outside Rosie's bar and then breaking the rules to cover it up.
Sheriff David Clarke spoke out about the incident on Newsradio 620 WTMJ Friday morning.
"I got two versions of what happened and I still don't really know what happened," Sheriff Clarke said.
Captain Eric Roberson and Sergeant Andrew Bilda are fighting to keep their jobs following the nasty fight when they were off-duty at a party in the bar. They insist they were trying to help contain an out of control drunk man, but Sheriff Clarke doesn't buy their story, insisting he wants them both fired.
"This is a bad mix when in officer is off-duty and consuming alcohol and then puts themselves on duty and gets involved in a situation like this," Sheriff Clarke said.
Robert Blankenheim is facing OWI charges following the fight, but he insists he is the true victim. His lawyers say pictures of him battered and bruised after the fight tell the story.
"He is very emotionally distraught over what happened that night. It was very scary for him. He really thought he was going to die," Attorney Julie Flessas said.
Blankenheim is suing the city and county claiming the deputies beat him up and violated his right and lied to cover it up.
"No matter what he did and that will be decided in an appropriate forum, that is not how anyone in the city or county of Milwaukee expects law enforcement officers to act whether they are on duty or off duty," Flessas said.

Cop allegedly abused cows
(This is just too funny!)
MOORESTOWN -Additional charges have been filed against former Moorestown police officer Robert Melia after allegations surfaced last week that he performed several sexual acts with livestock, specifically cows.Melia, 38, of 126 Cottage Avenue in Moorestown has been charged with four counts of animal cruelty after purposely and knowingly tormenting an animal, specifically by having a cow perform fellatio, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's office.
Due to the nature of the investigation, authorities did not reveal how they uncovered the incidents involving the cows that occurred on four separate occasions between June and December of 2006 in Southampton, which is located within Burlington County.
Police had arrested Melia and his ex-girlfriend, Heather Lewis, 32, of Pemberton, April 12 after allegations surfaced that the pair had sexually assaulted three juvenile females. Each were charged with three counts of first degree aggravated sexual assault and one count of second degree sexual assault.
Melia has been held at Burlington County Jail with a bail of $500,000, according to authorities.
Last week, Burlington County Superior Court Judge John Almeida added an additional $10,000 to that sum because of the new charges, according to authorities.
Officials are still investigating the matter.
