Settlements
Year Description Outcome
2023

In February 2023, the City of Mayville, Wisconsin, settled a lawsuit by paying Jeffrey Polzin $150,000.

On August 29, 2018, Mayville Police Officer Nicholas Weber arrested Polzin for alleged disorderly conduct. Polzin asked Weber to loosen his handcuffs, but it is unclear whether Weber sufficiently loosened them. Polzin remained in handcuffs for about thirty minutes and later received a diagnosis of nerve damage and Wartenberg’s Syndrome, a condition caused by the compression of a nerve in the wrist.
