[undeterred]

Three state lawmakers had their night turn a bit soggy Wednesday when a man dumped a glass of beer on the head of one of the lawmakers, with the beer then splashing on the other two, Madison police reported. Police said the incident happened at the Inn on the Park, 22 S. Carroll St., at about 10:25 p.m. Wednesday.

The suspect being sought by police is believed to be a 26-year-old Madison man who has been harassing the target, State Rep. Robin Vos, R-Burlington, since February, according to police. The two lawmakers getting indirect hits were Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, and Rep. Scott Suder, R-Abbotsford.

The suspect allegedly yelled out something on the order of "Money" and "Damned Republicans" before pouring a glass of Miller Lite beer onto Vos' head. "All of the victims indicated the suspect swore at them and called them criminals," said Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain.

According to a police news release, the suspect showed up at the bar of the hotel accompanied by a man with a video camera. "The bartender asked the videographer to turn the camera off," DeSpain said. "Following the request, the suspect took the glass of beer and emptied it onto the lawmaker's head." DeSpain told madison.com the suspect ordered a Miller from the bartender.
