Frank Jude Jr., the man who was brutalized by Milwaukee police officers and later settled a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the city, was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of damage to property after he was seen reportedly ransacking a convenience store, police said.

The arrest comes as a video surfaced on Facebook also over the weekend showing what appears to be Jude trashing the store.

Milwaukee police were called to the store at 4295 N. Teutonia Ave. about 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Sgt. Timothy Gauerke said. Jude, 38, was seen throwing merchandise and damaging property inside, he said. The case will be presented to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office for potential charges of damage to property, disorderly conduct and bail jumping, Gauerke said.

Seven police officers were convicted in the beating in federal court. Three ringleaders were convicted after a high-profile trial and are still in prison.

Jude filed a lawsuit against the city, later settling it for $2 million in 2012.

Jude has had repeated run-ins with the law since the beating and settlement. He most recently was charged with resisting an officer, according to online court records. A hearing to determine if Jude is competent to stand trial is scheduled for later this month. Jude, who was charged in October, had been free on a $200 signature bond before his arrest, records show.
