At Streicher's sentencing on April 5, his lawyer, Michael Steinle, requested his client be granted Huber status, which would allow him to leave a jail facility for work, doctor's visits and child care.

When Streicher reported to the Ozaukee County Jail on May 20 to serve his sentence, deputies fitted Streicher with a GPS monitor.

Havas revoked Streicher's Huber status and ordered him to complete his sentence behind bars.

The week after Havas ordered Streicher back to jail, Stinson's family filed a lawsuit against the former deputy.
