Milwaukee police detective pleads no contest to disorderly conduct in groping case
A Milwaukee police detective faces jail time and a $1,000 fine after pleading no contest Monday to disorderly conduct.
Travis Jung, 38, initially was charged in May 2023 with fourth-degree sexual assault and disorderly conduct after he was accused months earlier of groping a coworker while off-duty at a department-related function in January 2023.
A trial on both misdemeanor charges was supposed to begin Monday. However, Jung, a 15-year veteran of the Milwaukee Police Department, said through his attorney, Michael J. Steinle, that he would plead no contest to disorderly conduct.
“No contest” is a plea that allows a defendant to accept conviction without admitting guilt. The maximum penalty is 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Assistant District Attorney Erin Karshen didn’t offer a sentencing recommendation. That’ll be up to Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey Wagner when Jung is sentenced May 2.
According to a criminal complaint:
Jung and other members of the police department were at Third Ward venue.
A woman said Jung was talking to a friend of hers and she joined their conversation. After her friend walked away, Jung made “inappropriate comments” to her. The woman said Jung slapped her buttocks as she walked away, according to the complaint.
The woman later posed for a group photo at the event. Jung jumped into the frame at the last moment, stood behind her and reached under her clothing to touch her buttocks and genitals, the complaint said.
Jung was arrested on the night of the event. He was taken to the Milwaukee County Jail and was later released on $250 bail.
Salary records show he earned about $125,000 in 2021.

Travelers see shorter lines at Milwaukee Mitchell despite the ongoing partial government shutdown
MILWAUKEE — Despite a partial government shutdown causing long TSA lines at airports across the country, travelers at Milwaukee Mitchell airport are experiencing short wait times ahead of spring break.
John Wahlen and his colleague Joe Orendorf were coming back home from North Carolina and prepared for a much different scene.
“We were remarkably surprised that it was as easy as it was,” Wahlen said.

A national TSA spokesperson told TMJ4 that over 3,450 TSA officers called out across the country on Thursday. The national call-out rate was at 11.83% percent, the highest since the shutdown began.
While the TSA could not provide specific numbers for Milwaukee Mitchell, the airport was not in the top-10 for call-out rates.
The highest percentages of call-offs came from much larger airports, including George Bush Intercontinental in Houston at 44 percent, Atlanta at almost 41 percent, and Baltimore at 37 percent.
“We were in smaller airports, Raleigh-Durham, I think we waited for two people, and one of them was him,” Orendorf said.

A spokesperson for Milwaukee Mitchell told TMJ4 that around 11,000 people are expected this Friday and Saturday, and next Friday and Saturday as spring break travel peaks.
President Trump signed an executive order to pay TSA agents, meaning a resolution may be on the horizon. Travelers, including Selena Mauricio, said they are thankful for the agents who are still showing up.

“Their jobs aren’t easy, and I commend the ones that still come to work, definitely,” Mauricio said.
