PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities in Columbia County say a 36-year-old man tied up his young son with tape for an hour after the boy refused to wear a Green Bay Packers jersey during the team's game last Saturday.
Sheriff's Lieutenant Wayne Smith says Mathew Kowald was cited for disorderly conduct for the incident involving his 7-year-old son at their home in Pardeeville.
Kowald was arrested on Monday after his wife called authorities.
Kowald was taken to the county jail and held until Wednesday, when he pleaded no contest, paid a fine of $186 and was released.
Smith says Kowald's wife filed a restraining order today, so Kowald will not be able to have contact with his family.
Smith says other domestic issues have surfaced, though he wouldn't elaborate.
The father was accused of restraining the boy for an hour with tape and also taping a jersey onto him during that time.
