Man Charged After Lying About Source of Friend's Skull Fracture

A 28-year-old Saukville man is facing charges after he allegedly lied about how a friend fractured his skull and left him unconscious on a floor for two hours during a party.

Michael N. Park was charged in Ozaukee County Circuit Court on Wednesday with one count of obstructing an officer. If convicted, he faces up to nine months in prison and $10,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

At 4:17 a.m. Feb. 4, rescue workers were called to a home in the 1000 block of South Knollwood Drive after a man suffered a fractured skull in a home. Park told officers the man tripped over an end table, then began to vomit, so they called for medical help.

However, the next day, the victim’s dad discovered his son had been "sucker punched" during a fight with another man outside the home during a party. He was knocked unconscious by the punch, and was dragged into the house and left on the floor for two hours before police were called.

Park will make his initial appearance in court Sept. 19.
