MADISON, Wis. — MADISON, Wis.-Two agencies are investigating a claim by Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley that Justice David Prosser put her in a chokehold this month – an allegation that Gov. Scott Walker on Monday called extremely serious.

Asked if the reports about Prosser’s behavior, if true, merited his resignation, Walker said: “I don’t even want to go down that path . . . other than to say that just based on the allegations that were made, I can’t overemphasize how serious I think the situation is there. Until we know what happened, I don’t think it’s best for anybody for me to comment on what the next step is.”

The separate investigations are by the Dane County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin Judicial Commission, which oversees the state’s judicial ethics code. The sheriff’s investigation began Monday; the commission’s was authorized Friday and publicly acknowledged Monday.
