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.

Blocks away from today’s raid, is Kmiec, law firm, Kmiec & Noonan. Kmiec served as a Trustee for the Village of Salem Lakes before he was ousted by the voters by a 2-1 margin last year. Kmiec’s son, Trenton is a multiple felon and out on felony bail for a very serious case. Today, he is back in jail.

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.

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.

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. The judges are going along.
Trenton 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.

Oh Lordy Tedster! What’s Noonan gonna do now? For a smart man, you surely have fkd up this time.
No, your father would not be proud. Contrare’
he needs to go to PRISON and ROT! enough with the slap on the wrist to this violent person who clearly does not care about himself or the community. he is not an upstanding citizen. he does NOTHING for this community. waste of space and my tax money!
If his Dad REALLY cared, he WOULD allow his son to go to jail.. Maybe he would get straightened out.
I think he likes Jail it’s better than the dysfunctional hell hole he grew up in
Really doing your kid a favor hey, and way to set your wife up who had cancer and you didn’t want her to file while having an affair. But big bad lawyer, really defending your kid while putting others at risk with his repetitive actions!
And his mistress was found dead in his bed, from overdose… HMMM
Hanson looks like a bobble head comic figure or something. If looks could kill we’d all be dead.
Does this kid have a job ?
If so, how is he able to keep it ?
If not, where does he get the money to buy these drugs and guns ?
Please don’t tell me from Daddy
Ha. What job. A few weeks ago he was asking for job leads on FB (but not the minimum wage kind, mind you. He’s too good for those). I hear making license plates in prison pays great.
He’s selling drugs to support his habits. Should be in prison for life!
Umm, he’s a drug dealer. It pays pretty well in our massively addicted county.
Trying to get this straight. The suspect related to the search warrant is the kid, not the lawyer, right?
Yes, the kid. But living in dad’s house.
Which means dad is allowing illegal activity in his house.
Shouldn’t saved him useless
Talk about being put on blast 🤦♀️ I really hope you can prove all this since you’re slinging mud because honestly the Kenosha county police, jail, and court are seriously flawed and as crooked as it gets !! Maybe we should start there 🤔 They do whatever they want because they have knowone to answer too let’s get the DOJ involved 😉
All scum
And I hope you have the heart to listen to victims… who appear to be children!!! Imagine your child being assaulted by this scum!
B.S. Kmiec practically has a reserved room at the jail. He’s a loser. The cops grab him everytime he does something wrong. The D.A.s office is the reason he’s bounced out so quickly.
The D.A.s office, County Board, County H.R. and local politicians are all close knit buddies who are only there to help each other. I wouldn’t be shocked if they cover for Kmiec because he’s their chosen drug supplier.
There are specific laws and statutes that should be followed. Our judges should be ashamed of themselves every time they give out these ridiculous deals.
Haven’t we finally gotten to the point where the FBI and or department of Justice can be contacted to shut down these district attorneys under Rico laws? Damn those people that gave the kid narcan, narcan should be illegal.
Knowone.. hmmm. 👍
Only in are DA office , well lets see what happens with are New DA and the NON – corruption that we have . That hansen she has been another currupt one in the Racine DA office for many years as well
So glad a GOOD DA is coming in and plans on keeping the cases IN HOUSE and not sending them off to the nearby counties!
This kid and this family have terrorized Salem and paddock lake for years, it’s about time, put his butt in jail and the dad also.
Hopefully they run out of narcan
I mean I’ve been saying for a long time now that all daddy Kmiec is doing is helping his kid destroy himself further and further until he eventually ends up dead from overdose or suicide end of story stop letting him off!!! 🤪🤪🤪
Hanson looks like a Saturday night live character 🤣🤣🤣
Why waste the Narcan? Let him go!
Kenosha County is all fucked up from cop, to sheriffs, jails and judges… ALLL TOXIC
Unfortunately, it sucks for the good guys that want to do a good job, protect, and are not on shady shit.
It’s not up to the cops if he gets out of jail but the D.A’s office. this kid has been picked up by Kenosha county multiple times and every time the judges just let him go
This punk needs to be locked up with the key thrown away forever. Everyone involved with letting him off easy should not have a job in this field! He should have been in prison years ago. His father should be ashamed of himself for allowing him to live in his house, knowing exactly what type of pos his kid is.
With this resume he should be a prof at UW Parkside
Way to fail the good tax payers of our community by keeping this piece of shit alive , out of prison and on our streets.
This is a terribly dysfunctional young man in a dysfunctional family. I’m going to say that first because the reality is also that just because you are a troubled person from a troubled family — even one who has a drug habit — it doesn’t always follow that you are a threat to the safety of the community. This young man isn’t just a troubled person with a drug habit, he seems to fit the description of a career criminal. Maybe, someday he’ll sober up and get his head out of his ass but until then he’s an increasingly dangerous public nuisance. Probation hasn’t worked. Jail hasn’t worked. That leaves prison.
DA Hanson has to be the ugliest person that I have ever seen, OMG!!
He makes Lori Lightfoot look like Beyonce
Correction: *She (referring to Hanson)
Soon the eternal F-U Hunter Kmiec won’t have Joe-daddy’s friend Merrick Graveley around to bail him out anymore.
a person who can’t do their job because they know someone ??
Gravely can’t prosecute this kid why ??
A crime is a crime. Gravely didn’t investigate the kid. Track and observe him nor knock on the door with the warrant.
What’s the conflict ?
This family is disfunction run amok. They need to be relegated to a double wide trailer in a mobile home park far far away.
Relegated to a quarry, with a razor wire perimeter fence and guard towers.
By the looks of their house, a double wide might be an upgrade.
If he identifies as clean and not a pedo he should have the charges dropped. After all, Salem allows men that think they’re pretty to do what they want.
I wonder if the sheriff’s department will be planning on charging the father under state statue 961.42 for knowing hus son was mataining a drug trafficking place. There was no way big teddy didn’t know what his kid was doing, he just turned a blind eye because he was to busy with hookers O.D in his bed. So the excuse of teddy not knowing his kid was dealing drugs or diddling kids just shows how incompetent of a parent he is as well as lawyer.
I hope that reprobate loser Graveley doesn’t have any kids!
Apparently the Ted-ster has decided to run for Salem Lakes Municipal Judge. If so he needs to reconsider or the voters will rightfully crush him. However his MO is to act like nothing bad is happening when the world is crashing down around him. Voters remember what he was like as a village trustee and it wasn’t pretty. Bye-bye Teddy!
If elected he wouldn’t be the first lawyer in Wisconsin to accept money to defend drunk drivers one day and then hear cases of accused drunk drivers as a judge the next. It’s legal for part-time municipal judges to do this but isn’t there a better option? This lawyer is known for trying to delay cases once he accepts a client. Would he have the time to be a good municipal judge?
Funny thing is he would be replacing his dead mistress father who is currently the municipal judge ….weird shit
That house has been party house since the 70s…it has always been people up drinking to the sun came up the next day …..always been tons of drugs at that house ..coke ..weed ….pills …the father was know for being creep himself always preying on his sons girlfriends and partying with them ..its no suprise the kid turned out just like the dad …..people who live in the same area have been to this house and know this is all true ….its not a big suprise……
Will these government officials ever have to face consequences? Probably not, sickening.
