https://racinecountyeye.com/former-mayo ... y-conduct/
RACINE – Former Racine Mayor John Dickert was found not guilty of misdemeanor disorderly conduct by a Racine County District Court jury Wednesday. The charge was in connection with a fistfight between Dickert and another man in a Mount Pleasant grocery store parking lot. The jury began deliberation at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday and returned with the verdict shortly before noon.
Dickert, 58, and Christian Reynoso, now 20 of Racine, were charged by the Racine County District Attorney’s Office with disorderly conduct. As a result of a reported fight outside Malicki’s Piggly Wiggly, 5201 Washington Ave., on March 22, 2020. The Mount Pleasant Police investigated the report.
Misdemeanor disorderly conduct is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and 90 days in jail.
Reynoso’s Testimony
Reynoso stated that he was driving to work “in a hurry and driving fast” when he observed another man driving and videotaping him. The man was later identified as Dickert. Reynoso then pulled into the store parking lot and next to Dickert’s vehicle. Then, Reynoso said that he asked Dickert why he was recording him. Reynoso stated that Dickert got out of his car, approached Reynoso’s passenger side window, and leaned on the car. After Dickert walked around to the driver’s side, he stated, “something to the effect of ‘do you think you’re a tough guy?’” Reynoso then began to step out of his car, and Dickert grabbed him by the neck/throat area and pushed him. Reynoso said he responded by punching Dickert. He stated that Dickert also punched him.
Dickert served as Racine mayor from 2009 to 2017. He resigned in July 2017 to become executive director of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative. He left that position in 2019 to be an administrator with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
