Schraeder reportedly asked Sheri Nelson to be his "first lady" in June at the Walworth County Diary Breakfast. The complaint says Schraeder "vehemently" volunteered to be in a milk-chugging competition Nelson coordinated and followed her down the street the next day, when she was in a parade in Mukwonago. Schraeder was arrested yesterday and said in court he didn't understand his arrest. He has a prior conviction for violating a restraining order and harrassment. Nelson is a former Walworth County Fairest of the Fair and this year's Wisconsin Fairest of the Fair. The University of Wisconsin-Madison student helps promote Wisconsin's county fairs. According to a criminal complaint, he told her was planning their wedding for a year later.
