A bar employee was allegedly choked by former Packers quarterback Donald ‘Magic Man’ Majkowski in Eau Claire Wisconsin:
According to the Eau Claire Police Department, officers were dispatched to a report of a disturbance at a Brother’s Bar on Water Street shortly after 11 p.m. on August 29.
According to the police report, a man was refusing to leave after allegedly choking an employee. Officers arrived and found the man described by witnesses and bar staffers, identifying him as Donald Majkowski, the former Packers quarterback.
Officers spoke to bar staff, who alleged that Majkowski and another man were pushing each other when a staffer tried to separate the two before calling for another person to come help.
Majkowski allegedly grabbed the person’s throat, leaving a red mark; however, the victim said it didn’t cause any harm, and staff escorted Majkowski outside of the bar. According to the release, Majkowski was ‘extremely intoxicated’ and unable to contact an Uber, as officers took him to a hotel.

Majkowski alleged that he was “jumped” because of the boyfriends of women at the bar being “jealous of him because he used to be an NFL player.”
Officers dropped him off at the hotel after informing him that he was receiving a citation; however, hotel staff called to notify officials of a very intoxicated man who didn’t have a room. Officers returned and picked him up after learning he was at another hotel.
Here is the report on the incident.
