with redactions. However, after notifying the subjects of the records as required under Wisconsin law, attorneys representing those individuals informed the department they intend to seek court orders blocking disclosure.

The department said the temporary hold is required during the statutory waiting period and any related court proceedings and does not constitute a denial of the public records request.

Lawsuit filed

Jacobs filed a lawsuit earlier this month to block the release of police records in the case.

In the lawsuit against the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department, he claims that some records could expose a crime victim's private information and reveal security details about his home.

The complaint asks a judge to prevent the department from releasing video or images of the interior of Jacobs' garage and information about its layout, contents and security features.

The complaint says the department notified Jacobs on Oct. 5 that it had decided to allow access to some or all of the records related to an incident investigated May 23.

The records could include police reports, recordings, photographs, witness statements and digital evidence. It says multiple people requested the records on or after Sept. 25.

Jacobs asks the court to seal unredacted records submitted for review and require the department to withhold records in full if redactions would not adequately protect the information.
