Hunter Braatz – Eau Claire Police Department

Written by CBKN76

On April 1, 2015, Officer Braatz shot Tyler Holte during an attempted arrest for a felony warrant. Holte, under the influence of alcohol and drugs, fled from police, nearly ran over his mother, and led officers on a high-speed chase. When confronted, Holte reached towards his waistband, leading Officer Braatz to fire two shots, striking Holte. No weapon was found on Holte. The Wisconsin Department of Justice and the Eau Claire District Attorney’s office investigated and found the use of force appropriate. Braatz resigned in good standing on October 20, 2016.
