In the home of Theodore (Ted) B. Kmiec III on 238th Ave in Salem, many bad things have happened. Kmiec’s mistress died in his bed of a drug overdose. A 17-year-old girl was battered. Kmiec’s son allegedly had sex with at least two under-age girls. Just this morning, the house was raided by the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department S.W.A.T. team. Many more very bad things are now being alleged to have occurred in this home.

Trenton was recently revived with Narcan twice. Judge Dougvillo only gave Trenton three months of jail for these violations of probation. The State asked for the maximum possible jail sentence. Racine DA Patricia Hanson (D) wouldn’t charge Kmiec for possession of drug paraphernalia or felony bail-jumping.

Kmiec would be in prison today, if not for multiple breaks from the Kenosha County DA’s Office, Racine County DA’s office, and several judges. A young child might not have been allegedly harmed physically, sexually, and emotionally. Here is Kmiec’s criminal history of arrests, charges and convictions.

Kenosha County District Attorney Mike Graveley (D), who is friends with Kmiec’s father Ted, has sent many cases to neighboring Racine County with the expectation that Racine DA Patricia Hanson will take it easy on Kmiec, like so many times before.

Kmiec is on felony bail for a serious incident from November 24, 2021. Police and prosecutors say that Kmiec lead multiple police officers and agencies on a 25 minute long, 22 mile police chase while armed and under the influence of drugs. Kmiec refused to pull over for police and drove erratically at speeds up to 85 miles per hour. He endangered many people’s lives by swerving all over the road and narrowly missing innocent bystanders. At one point he swerved around stop sticks, was rammed by police, did a 360 degree spin, but continued to evade. Eventually, Kmiec flipped the car and crashed in a ditch. Police found a Glock 19 in his possession with an extended 30-round magazine in the car. A drug recognition expert determined that Kmiec was under the influence of stimulants. There were also empty bottles of Cyclobenzaprine and Tramadol in his upside down car. Kmiec also had two Buprenorphine narcotic patches on his body. Kmiec also had a powdery substance on his nostril. Kmiec was charged with (1) Second Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Use of a Dangerous Weapon, (2) Fleeing and Eluding – Causing Damage to Property, Use of a Dangerous Weapon, (3) Felony Criminal Damage to Property, Use of a Dangerous Weapon, (4) Possession of a Firearm While Intoxicated, and (5) OWI (2nd). One of the victims told police that Kmiec caused $8,000 in damage to his property. Believe it or not, Governor Evers (D) appointee, Judge Tricia Walker, gave Kmiec a no-cash bond. He was released without having to pay a cent. He is expected to take a plea deal in October.

Kmiec’s Criminal History

OWI #1

Kmiec was driving while intoxicated on June 26, 2017. He was later convicted.

Kenosha County Drug Possession

In 2017, Kmiec was involved in a crime involving drugs. He was arrested. DA Graveley (D) sent this case to Racine County to be “fixed” and progressive Racine County DA Patricia Hanson did not charge Kmiec, but allowed him to participate in a drug program.

Kenosha County Drug Possession #2

On September 2, 2022, police and prosecutors say that Kmiec was pulled over and had schedule 2 narcotics in his vehicle. Kmiec tried to throw the drugs out of his car, but the astute Deputy Tifft reviewed his squad footage and saw Kmiec throw the bag. DA Graveley sent this case to Racine County and DA Patricia Hanson’s office dismissed it.

Winnebago County Drug Trafficking Arrest

Police and prosecutors say that on February 19, 2023, Kmiec was located in a bar by police, which was against his bond conditions. On his person, they found 13 plastic baggies, each contained fentanyl. Police obtained a search warrant for his home. When they arrived, they were met by Kmiec’s high-school aged girlfriend. They found cutting agents and other drug manufacturing items in his bedroom. His minor girlfriend said that she didn’t know he sold drugs, but was “suspicious” of him. She thought he was selling vitamins to people posing as cocaine. Winnebago County prosecutors charged Kmiec with (1) Possession – Intent to Deliver, (2) Maintaining a Drug-Trafficking Place, and (3) Felony Bail Jumping. They could have charged him with multiple counts of bail-jumping, but did not. Believe it or not, a liberal court Commissioner named Eric Heywood gave Kmiec a no-cash bail and he was released without paying a cent. He is awaiting trial for this case.

Domestic Violence

Kmiec was charged in court earlier on May 3, 2023. The charges include felony child abuse – recklessly causing bodily harm, six counts of felony bail jumping, and intimidation of a victim. According to the criminal complaint, Kmiec’s high-school aged girlfriend called the Sheriff’s Department just before midnight on May 1, 2023. She was upset and crying when a deputy arrived. She asked the deputy to drive her down the road so she wasn’t talking in front of the house. She then told him that she and her boyfriend, Trenton Kmiec, had a fight. She said that Kmiec threw her very hard and her head hit something. She had a visible “goose egg” on the right side of her head near her temple. She then tried to call 9-1-1, but Kmiec took the phone away from her, hung it up and said “you’re not doing that.” She then begged for her phone back, but Kmiec called her a “whore” and told her to lay down and sleep or walk home. He then said he hoped she got abducted.

Domestic Violence #2

According to another criminal complaint, on May 26, 2023, deputies responded to Ted and Trenton Kmiec’s residence in Salem. The caller was one of the girl’s friends who heard her and Trenton arguing loudly which he was on the phone with her. He heard her say “ow.” This friend called police and summoned them to the Kmiec residence. The Sheriff’s Deputies are very familiar with this home. Deputies investigated the death of Kmiec’s mistress recently. She died on Ted’s bed. Deputies knocked on the door and Trenton answered the door. He denied that his 17-year old girlfriend was there and denied ever having contact with her. Ted also came to the door and claimed he didn’t know if she was there either and didn’t hear the loud arguing. The girl later exited the home to talk to deputies, and Ted apologized and stated that he was not aware of her presence in the home. Deputies arrested Trenton for obstructing, since he lied to police. Deputies decided against arresting Ted Kmiec. We asked Ted why he would knowingly allow his son to violate conditions of his bond. He didn’t respond to KCE’s request for comment.

Fond du Lac County Armed Pursuit (Pending)
On November 24, 2021, police and prosecutors say that Kmiec lead multiple police officers and agencies on a 25 minute long, 22 mile police chase while armed and under the influence of drugs. Kmiec refused to pull over for police and drove erratically at speeds up to 85 miles per hour. He endangered many people’s lives by swerving all over the road and narrowly missing innocent bystanders. At one point he swerved around stop sticks, was rammed by police, did a 360 degree spin, but continued to evade. Eventually, Kmiec flipped the car and crashed in a ditch. Police found a Glock 19 in his possession with an extended 30-round magazine in the car. A drug recognition expert determined that Kmiec was under the influence of stimulants. There were also empty bottles of Cyclobenzaprine and Tramadol in his upside down car. Kmiec also had two Buprenorphine narcotic patches on his body. Kmiec also had a powdery substance on his nostril. Kmiec was charged with (1) Second Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Use of a Dangerous Weapon, (2) Fleeing and Eluding – Causing Damage to Property, Use of a Dangerous Weapon, (3) Felony Criminal Damage to Property, Use of a Dangerous Weapon, (4) Possession of a Firearm While Intoxicated, and (5) OWI (2nd). One of the victims told police that Kmiec caused $8,000 in damage to his property. Believe it or not, Governor Evers (D) appointee, Judge Tricia Walker, gave Kmiec a no-cash bond. He was released without having to pay a cent. He is awaiting trial for this case.

Kmiec’s mother, Connie Kmiec, was once arrested for domestic abuse from the above video, but the Racine DA dropped all charges.

The duo most responsible for the white-glove treatment of Kmiec, aside from Graveley himself, are Racine County DA Patricia Hanson and her Deputy DA, Chris Steenrod, both democrats. They keep giving Kmiec over-generous plea deals. Judge Dougvillo, however jumped the most recent deal. Jumping a plea deal, is when a judge gives a punishment that is more strict than the plea agreement.

Kmiec is expected to be charged in the coming days or weeks. The white glove treatment is likely to stop now. Graveley (D) didn’t respond to any requests for comment. Neither Racine DA Patricia Hanson (D) nor Walworth County DA Zeke Wiedenfeld (D), who are likely to get this case, would respond to KCE either. Graveley is expected to quickly hand this case over to another office before DA-Elect Solis takes over so Kmiec can avoid serious prison time.
