Although his family could not believe the hurt he had caused by his terrible mistake of driving while drunk, the story of Kurt Jensen is an all too common one in the Dane County Court system, said Dane County Circuit Judge Diane Nicks as she sent a former Bucky Badger to jail for four months.
Jensen, 24, was one of six students to fill the role of Bucky Badger as team mascot and all-around campus notable for the University of Wisconsin and its athletic teams in the 2002-2003 school year. He was also put on probation for 24 months, ordered to pay a $300 fine and ordered to perform 196 hours of community service.
