The complaint says Hauschultz was on probation for armed robbery through the Wisconsin Department of Corrections and a hold was placed on the defendant while he was in Waukesha Memorial Hospital. After medical treatment was wrapped up, the defendant was to be arrested and taken to the Waukesha County Jail.
On the morning of May 6, hospital staff indicated Waukesha police and indicated that Hauschultz was medically cleared and ready to be taken to the jail. Less than ten minutes after that call was made, hospital security staff called Waukesha police to say "the defendant had run from security out of the hospital on foot," the complaint says. When police reviewed surveillance video from the hospital, they learned the defendant was wearing white shorts and a white T-shirt at the time he fled.
About a half-hour later, an officer spotted the defendant on W. Newhall Avenue near Waverly Place. Several squads set up a perimeter and a nearby school was placed into a secure hold until the defendant was located.
A Waukesha K-9 responded to the scene. A warning was issued by loudspeaker for the defendant to surrender.
