Neighbors Upset Over Sign In Man's Yard.
ADISON, Wis. -- A community on Madison's East Side is upset over a sign one of their neighbors posted in his yard.
Paul A. Olson, 51, was arrested Sunday on a charge of disorderly conduct, and residents along Hummingbird Lane said they're afraid of what he might do -- not just because of the sign but also because of what police said he's done before.
Neighbors said a piece of plywood spray painted with the words "Euthanize Welfare Kids" was on display in Olson's yard.
"This particular act of putting up a sign that says 'Euthanize Welfare Kids,' that's really inappropriate," said Alderwoman Lauren Cnare, who represents District 3 on the Common Council. "The hardest perhaps thing about this, besides the hateful thought behind it, is that this is on a walking route to an elementary school."
Madison police said Olson was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct on Sunday not for the sign but for standing in front of a picture window in his home and mooning several people outside. Police said witnesses reported Olson exposed his naked buttocks and placed his back side on the glass window.
"The officer described it as a gyrating motion for approximately three to four minutes," said Howard Payne, of the Madison Police Department.
