GREEN BAY, WI (AP)-- A Michigan Republican State Committee member faces charges in Wisconsin over what police say was an armed standoff with officers responding to his suicide threat.
Fifty-one-year-old Doug Sedenquist of Escanaba has a September 3rd court date in Green Bay, Wisconsin on charges of disobeying police, sending a threat and disorderly conduct.
The Detroit Free Press and the Green Bay Press Gazette say Sedenquist phoned his estranged wife March 3rd and she realized he was following her.
A complaint in Brown County, Wisconsin Circuit Court says Green Bay police surrounded Sedenquist's pickup truck. It says he pointed a rifle at his stomach and held off police about 30 minutes before surrendering.
Sedenquist also is Delta County Republican vice chairman and has worked in talk radio.
