The Kenosha Police claim that allegation simply isn't true.
"A Kenosha Police Captain did have a brief conversation with Mr. Pierce, regarding security concerns raised by Mr. Pierce, surrounding the Kyle Rittenhouse release from custody," Kenosha police
said in a press release issued Thursday. "The conversation did not include instructions about how to fill out paperwork."
"It is the responsibility of the defendant and his/her representation to complete bond paperwork completely and accurately," the department continued. "It is the further responsibility of the defendant to comply with conditions of bond."
Documents originally provided to Law&Crime by Richards did not contain the name of the police officer in question but later court documents filed by the defense identified the alleged culprit as one "Captain
Tim Schaal."
