(Kenosha County Sheriff)
PARIS, Wis. — A 27-year-old Bloomfield man is facing felony charges after allegedly trapping his pregnant girlfriend in his truck and driving recklessly through Kenosha County while screaming at her, ignoring her repeated pleas to be let out, and accelerating while she attempted to flee the moving vehicle.
Kevin R. Elkin made his first appearance in Kenosha County intake court Monday, where Commissioner William Michel II set his cash bond at $2,500. Elkin is charged with second-degree recklessly endangering safety, false imprisonment, and disorderly conduct in connection with a disturbing incident that occurred Friday, May 16, in the Town of Paris.
According to the criminal complaint, a witness called 911 that evening after seeing a man and woman in a heated dispute inside a vehicle near the Paris Motel. The witness, Megan Kusek, told dispatchers she observed the passenger door open multiple times and saw the woman’s leg partially sticking out as if she were trying to escape. Concerned, Kusek followed the vehicle and eventually pulled up behind it when it briefly stopped.
By the time deputies arrived on scene, Elkin had already left. They spoke to the woman, identified in court records as his girlfriend and the mother of his unborn child, who said she was approximately two months pregnant. She told deputies the argument began earlier that day at a laundromat in Twin Lakes and escalated when they returned to Elkin’s residence in Bloomfield.
The woman described Elkin as belligerent and verbally abusive, screaming at her that he didn’t want the baby and urging her to get an abortion. She said he called her degrading names, including “dumbass,” and that she went outside to distance herself by sitting in his truck. Instead of leaving her alone, Elkin allegedly followed her into the vehicle, got behind the wheel, and began driving, continuing the argument.
As he drove toward the Paris Motel area, she claimed Elkin became increasingly erratic and aggressive behind the wheel. She told deputies she repeatedly begged him to stop the truck and let her out, especially when they reached the intersection of Highway 45 and Highway 142. She said she opened the passenger door in an effort to escape, but Elkin allegedly hit the gas, forcing her to close the door to avoid falling or being injured.
She said she was terrified by his behavior, especially given her pregnancy. The situation only calmed when Kusek, the witness, pulled up behind them in her own vehicle. Elkin then pulled over briefly and allegedly began yelling at Kusek, before driving off again and punching his steering wheel in frustration. He finally returned to the motel and let the woman out before leaving the scene.
Deputies later interviewed Elkin, who admitted that the two had been arguing and acknowledged that she asked him to stop the vehicle. He told deputies, “She did. I guess she kinda did,” and claimed he was trying to calm her down and didn’t want her returning to her mother’s house “all heated.”
Elkin was arrested and booked into the Kenosha County Jail. If convicted on all charges, he faces up to 10 years in prison and $25,000 in fines on the Class G felony count of second-degree recklessly endangering safety, an additional six years and $10,000 in fines for false imprisonment, and up to 90 days in jail for disorderly conduct.
The court also ordered Elkin to have no contact with the victim. A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for May 28.

Like father like son
More like Shannon Perry will be Shannon Perry and she’s pregnant again?! Does anyone know what happened to her first baby? He passed mysteriously at 11 months old. I grew up with Kevin he’s a GREAT guy and has never gotten into any trouble like this. She needs to be prosecuted for her lies and police manipulations
I had to put a restraining order on him a few months ago for making multiple social media accounts, harassing and stalking me and trying to get money from my mom and trying to go to my workplace to get money. He was demanding so Kevin he may be a great guy, but he’s really not a good person.
I use to babysit have m he was a great kid I can’t see him doing this seeing it’s Shannon that explains everything, heard her last baby got ahold to f pills, her whole family is fucked up l, her brother got his sted for child porn
Faber elkin coke fest ruined him
If that’s if, it is his child she is pregnant with I hope he and his family members fight for full custody, so that she has no rights what so ever to this child
It’s so sad people take the time to talk about a deceased baby or a mom who deals with it everyday.
Considering she almost has a 1 year old who is healthy
The shit talk continues
Bad idea look how kevin turned out lmao
They ain’t been the same since that hot water heater went boom in their face
Deport him!
Really? You people need to come up with some different and new comments because deporting them is getting old and doesn’t pertain to this person at all
Yeah for anyone saying they’ve known him since childhood he’s a great guy I know him too I also grew up with him as a woman he is fucking creepy as fuck. Yeah maybe a cool guy to get all fucked up with. Better be a dude though. Dude threw fucking roofing nails in my driveway and shit and I hope he gets bent over and fucked in jail
Same to Me lol he can’t fight he’s 5’4 he hates his life
