(WINDSOR) A former Beaver Dam insurance agent faces criminal charges after a domestic incident last month. Dane County court records show Mason Gunderson made an initial appearance on Jan. 22 on charges of Criminal Damage to Property and Criminal Trespass to a dwelling with Domestic Abuse modifiers.
Gunderson faces several other charges, including: 2nd Degree Reckless Endangerment, Fleeing and Eluding, Failure to Comply with Officers’ Attempt to Take into Custody, Violation of a 72-hour No Contact order, and Disorderly Conduct.
According to news reports, Dane County deputies arrested Gunderson, 36, on Dec. 29 after a domestic-related call. Later that same night, deputies were called to the same home a second time when he allegedly violated a no-contact order that was issued during the first call.
According to deputies, Gunderson evaded arrest and returned to his own home, where a long standoff ensued. Deputies reported hearing a gunshot at one point. After several hours of negotiations, Gunderson surrendered to deputies.
Court records show Gunderson lives in Windsor. He owned an American Family agency at 1748 N. Spring Street in Beaver Dam. An American Family spokesperson confirmed to Daily Dodge that Gunderson is no longer an American Family agent. Customers have been sent letters informing them that their policies are now being handled by another agent.
