2015-OP-0002764 Ex wife filed OP after Milne cut with a knife causing 38 stitches

In 2015, Milne’s ex wife filed an OP against Milne after he went to her home and cut her in the arm twice with a kitchen knife. The cuts required 38 stitches.

Loves Park police responded to the 911 call as well as paramedics. The ex wife told Loves Park police of Milne’s actions and wanted to press charges.

They launched an “investigation” that lasted three weeks before declining to pursue charges against Milne.

The states attorney reviewed the case in January of 2016. They too declined to press charges.

After OP hearings Judge Martinez Milne to not have any possession of firearms. This prevented Milne from being a police officer.

The order was eventually changed allowing Milne to return to the Rockford Police Department.
