In the December incident, Grayson and Madison School Board member Maia Pearson were arrested after Grayson refused to move her vehicle — in which Pearson was a passenger — out of the Majestic’s no-parking area and then argued with theater employees, according to police and the Dane County District Attorney’s Office.
A criminal complaint in that case says that Pearson, who is also the chair of Madison’s Police Civilian Oversight Board, and Grayson disobeyed police orders and had to be forcibly removed from Grayson’s vehicle and arrested.
The case against Pearson remains open; she is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing on May 13.
Madison police and the city’s Office of the Independent Police Monitor, which reports to the oversight board, are both conducting reviews of the Dec. 19 arrests.
