The charges against Jacobs, 28, include felony strangulation and suffocation, and four misdemeanors: battery (domestic abuse), criminal damage to property (domestic abuse), disorderly conduct (domestic abuse) and intimidation of a victim. Jacobs’ arrest stems from an incident that occurred Saturday morning, according to a police news release, as police were dispatched to a disturbance complaint at approximately 8:37 a.m. CT.Wisconsin law mandates that an arrest be made if an officer has a reasonable basis to believe that a crime committed involves domestic violence. The district attorney must then decide whether to issue criminal charges, which are bound to apply a higher standard.
