A 55-year-old Curtiss man will face charges in a May 2 incident where police say he hit an officer with his car and was shot by the officer. Police got an anonymous tip from someone


concerned for the safety of a woman who was staying with Dan W. Willison, according to the newly released criminal complaint. Officers found Willison smoking a cigarette in his PT Cruiser in


the parking lot of Abbotsford’s Home Motel. STAY CONNECTED TO WISCONSIN NEWS — YOUR WAY Get trustworthy reporting and unique local stories from WPR delivered directly to your inbox. When


police approached him, Willison drove into Colby-Abbotsford Police Officer Kyle Jolin, forcing Jolin onto the hood of the car. He would later tell investigators he was afraid Willison would


run him over if he fell. Jolin shot at Willison through the windshield, then rolled off the vehicle and shot again through the car’s door. One of his shots hit Willison in the chest. The


wound was not fatal, and Willison proceeded to lead other police officers on a chase, going more than 100 mph on country roads and on state Highway 29. He eventually stopped and tried to run


away in a cornfield, but police caught up with him and arrested him. Investigators reviewed body camera footage in the incident. The time from when Willison struck Jolin with the car until


Jolin was thrown off, the complaint notes, was about four seconds. Willison’s blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.184, according to the complaint. Willison has four previous convictions


for drunken driving, as well as domestic violence and drug charges on his record. The Marathon County district attorney in a release said that Jolin’s “actions and responses were determined


to be justified given the totality of the circumstances” in the incident. Jolin, who was not injured in the incident, will face no charges. Willison was charged with recklessly endangering


safety, drunken driving and multiple other felonies. He is expected to appear in court on Friday. _Wisconsin Public Radio, © Copyright 2025, Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin
