PORTAGE, Wis. - Upset that his 7-year-old son wouldn't wear a Packers jersey during the team's playoff victory Saturday, a man restrained the boy for an hour with tape and taped the jersey onto him.

Mathew Kowald was cited for disorderly conduct in connection with the incident with his son at their home in Pardeeville, said Lt. Wayne Smith, of the Columbia County Sheriff's Department. Pardeeville is about 30 miles north of Madison.

Kowald, 36, was arrested Monday after his wife told authorities about the incident. Kowald was taken to the county jail and held until yesterday, when he pleaded no contest, paid a fine of $186 and was released. Kowald's wife has filed a restraining order.
