A UW-Madison football player faced court charges as sophomore wide receiver Brandon Tobias made his initial court appearance Thursday.
Tobias was charged with substantial battery with intent to cause bodily harm-a felony-for a Jan. 26 fight at State Street Brats, 603 State St.
Following the fight, Tobias was kicked off of the UW football team.
A vehicle heading north on Park Street hit and injured three pedestrians crossing the street at 2:44 a.m. Saturday, according to Madison.com.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as Jukedra Thomas. Thomas hit three individuals walking in the crosswalk where Regent Street intersects Park Street, according to the police report.
The victims were taken to area hospitals to be treated for significant injuries. Their conditions are unknown.
Madison police took Thomas into custody on the same morning and information regarding charges brought against her is unavailable at this time.
UW-Madison police received a report of sexual assault at approximately 8 p.m. Thursday, according to a police report.
The victim was treated at Meriter Hospital, 20 S. Park St., and reportedly sustained no physical injuries from the assault. She was released the same evening.
The victim met her attacker Thursday evening through a mutual friend at an undisclosed location in Madison.
After she accepted a ride from the suspect, he drove her to the UW Arboretum, where the assault occurred. The suspect then left the victim near her place of residence, and she alerted authorities.
UW-Madison police characterized the assault as an isolated incident and said that there is no threat to the general public.
Shortly after returning from his trade delegation to Mexico, Gov. Jim Doyle followed through on his promise to veto the property tax-freeze bill passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature three weeks ago.
A statement from Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, and Assembly Speaker John Gard, R-Peshtigo, said the Republican leaders withheld passing the bill onto Doyle's desk to give him more time to contemplate \the impact such a veto would have on taxpaying families.""
In his veto message, Doyle said the proposal was ""irresponsible"" because it did not include aid to public schools and put in peril local governments' emergency services.
