Just three months after pleading guilty to a meth crime in La Crosse County, Allen Kruk has withdrawn that plea. 

Kruk

Kruk is the La Crosse man accused of shooting a city policeman during a domestic incident last August, and is scheduled to go on trial for attempted murder this summer. 

The meth arrest happened less than a month before the gun incident, in which Officer Dustin Darling returned fire and shot Kruk five times. 

Darling was wearing a protective vest during the confrontation with Kruk, who has been jailed ever since being released from the hospital.

Kruk has been serving an eight-month jail sentence for the drug possession charge.

He also faces charges in Monroe County for burglary, theft, and other crimes.
