Man arrested for causing disturbance outside Wandos, police say spectators egged him on

Police arrested a man for causing a disturbance outside Wando’s early Friday after he became violent over spectators filming his belligerent behavior, according to a police report.

The report said police arrested 21-year-old Julius Gavins, who “engaged in banter, apparently for the cameras,” for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest at approximately 2:08 a.m. Friday, Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement.

According to the report, Gavins was pushing pedestrians on the 600 block of University Avenue and “screaming obscenities” at people, which continued as police struggled to restrain the suspect.

The event inspired MPD Central District Captain Carl Gloede to publish a release, which DeSpain said is a “warning of the department’s zero tolerance policy for behavior exhibited by this suspect.”

“Violent and disruptive behavior will not be tolerated,” Gloede said in the release.
