A 57-year-old Milwaukee man was charged Tuesday, June 19, in Waukesha County Circuit Court with felony battery to a county employee after he allegedly head-butted a Waukesha County building inspector in the village of Lannon last month.
David Janczak was a worker at a home under construction when building inspector Bob Blankenheim paid a visit to the site and asked Janczak about the stonework they were doing, according to the criminal complaint.
Janczak became aggressive and verbally abusive and chest-bumped Blankenheim, the complaint said.
As this went on, Blankenheim pulled out his phone to call police, which is when Janczak allegedly head-butted Blankenheim, knocking off his Bluetooth headset in the process.
Lannon Police Chief Kevin Porter said Janczak was still belligerent when he arrived on the scene. The criminal complaint describes Janczak allegedly threatening to find out where Blankenheim lived and to run into Porter when he was off duty, implying that if it was Milwaukee, Porter would be "ground up in the street."
Janczak has also been charged with a misdemeanor of disorderly conduct. Janczak's initial appearance in court is scheduled for July 2.
If found guilty of both counts, Janczak could face up to 3½ years for battery and up to 90 days for disorderly conduct. He could also be fined up to $11,000 for the two charges.
Janczak has three prior felonies in Milwaukee County. Two occurred in 2004 for driving a vehicle without the owner's consent and fleeing or eluding an officer in a vehicle. Janczak was also pleaded guilty in 2007 for a 2003 burglary of the Pass It On Club, a Milwaukee addiction recovery center.
