Well, theres also the consideration that he sued Manitowoc county for $36M (obviously a ridiculous figure), the county's insurance denied responsibility for any claim due to the gross negligence of the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department so that money then has to come out of the County's coffers which could conceivably mean lost jobs and services and by throwing him in jail they got that number down to $400K which was less than the state was offering.
