Mount Pleasant Police reopen investigation into stabbing

This is incredible. In July, Mt. Pleasant police arrested a man for a 2017 stabbing at Cham-Tap. It turns out they never looked at the bar's video footage until it was shown to them on Monday by Racine County Eye. The video recording shows the man who was charged, leaving the bar 5 minutes before the stabbing took place. The video also shows that the man who was charged by MPPD looked nothing like the man who is believed to have stabbed two people. Apparently, when charges were brought a couple of weeks ago by Racine County District Attorney Tricia Hanson, witnesses tried to contact both the MPPD and the District Attorney's office to say they were charging the wrong guy. They were told by Mt. Pleasant their statements were not needed and when they tried calling Hanson - the phone just kept ringing and ringing with no voicemail. How is it possible that neither the MPPD or the D.A. looked at the video before Monday? Mt. Pleasant police say they are now reopening the case and Hanson will be back in her office tomorrow. https://www.racinecountyeye.com/mount-pleasant-police-reopen-investigation-into-stabbing/
