A former Milwaukee police officer was convicted Friday of pointing a gun at two people while he was off-duty and drunk.

A jury convicted Jorge L. Madrigal, 25, of four misdemeanors: disorderly conduct, operating a firearm while intoxicated and two counts of intentionally pointing a gun at a person, online court records state.

Madrigal was fired by Milwaukee police Chief Edward Flynn last month, according to spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz. He has appealed to the Fire and Police Commission. A misdemeanor conviction does not bar someone from being a police officer.

Madrigal is set to be sentenced March 31. He faces up to 36 months behind bars.

Two other men who were with Madrigal during the incident were convicted earlier.

According to the criminal complaint:

Madrigal was a passenger in a Dodge Charger on July 8 when the Charger's driver was chasing a Ford Explorer driven by his girlfriend because he was jealous that another man was with her inside the Explorer. The Charger's driver cut off the Explorer, forcing it to stop.

Madrigal pointed his gun at the people inside the Explorer and said: "Open the door or I'll kill you. Open the door or I'll shoot you in the head," according to the complaint. Madrigal and the other passenger from the Charger stood on the Explorer's running boards and shouted at the people inside the vehicle while Madrigal pointed his gun at them, the complaint said.

The woman then drove off. Madrigal and the other man held onto the Explorer for a short time before jumping off. The woman flagged down two Milwaukee police officers, who took a .40-caliber Glock pistol from Madrigal, according to the complaint.
