KENOSHA, Wis. — When you’re out on bond for allegedly strangling your girlfriend, and the court orders you to stay away from her, there’s one thing you probably shouldn’t do: show up to court with her. Kenosha Police made that point painfully clear this week — by arresting the man immediately after his hearing.

Alan Jared Munoz, 18, was taken into custody Tuesday, June 24, moments after appearing in court for a May domestic violence case. The original charges include felony strangulation and misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct, all with domestic abuse enhancers. Police say Munoz pinned the woman to the floor, slammed her head into it, and strangled her until she couldn’t breathe.
He was released on a $2,000 cash bond the day after his arrest — a bond that clearly prohibited him from having any contact with the victim or her residence.
That didn’t stop him from apparently bringing her to his court appearance this week.
Kenosha Police Detective Eric Traxler, who was in the courtroom, approached Munoz after the hearing and asked, “Who’s in the gallery that came with you?” Munoz replied, “We didn’t talk.” That response, according to a witness, was all Traxler needed to immediately take him into custody for violating his bond conditions.

Today, Munoz was back in court — again — and formally charged with felony bail jumping. He’s now being held on an additional $750 cash bail, set by Court Commissioner William Michel II.
The new charge stems from an incident on June 18, when police responded to a welfare check at Munoz’s apartment. An anonymous caller reported that Munoz had been fighting with the woman and took her phone. The caller phoned in after a 911 hang-up came from the same address.
When officers arrived, the woman initially denied Munoz was there, but later admitted they had argued and that he took her phone before leaving. Her timeline didn’t match up with phone records, and police suspected she was trying to cover for him.
Detective Traxler later interviewed Munoz, who first denied being at the apartment, then claimed he never stepped on the property, and finally tried to flip the script — insisting the woman should be arrested for making a false report.
Munoz faces up to 6 years in prison on the new charge if convicted.
He’s due back in court for a preliminary hearing on July 30.

Life is tough. It’s tougher when you’re stupid.
Can’t fix stupid! 😂
Kid is 18.
Charged with violence against women.
Can’t live without her so he brings her into court with him.
She apparently has enough low self esteem she allows him still in her life.
Their PARENTS !!!!
I BLAME THE PARENTS !!!!!
His dad for not teaching him to respect women.
His mom for allowing him to do violence of some kind. You know this wasn’t the first time he hit somebody. Mom didn’t have her husband correct this kid at age 4 when he was hitting his sister. Or mom didn’t stay with his father and create a stable home environment.
The girl’s parents. They didn’t teach her to run at the first sign of a mean boyfriend. The first yelling. The first slap. The first disrespect of her sexuality.
Yes these two are messed up. But who’s really to blame ? Society ? The schools ? The neighborhood ?
No. It’s the PARENTS !!!!!
Is this guy fixable ?? Maybe. Maybe if he joins the army. But now with the felony they won’t have him. So what is he to do now with these charges on his record ??
Maybe go work for the city or county digging ditches. After work he’ll be too tired to hit women.
Maybe just maybe he’ll find a gal who wants a hard working man who comes home hungry and tired and appreciates what a good woman brings to a relationship. Love. Support. Appreciation of his work. But she better own a gun. You never know
amazing how you know so much about people you don’t know.
worry about your own skeletons
I don’t know this kid or his family.
But there are hundreds like him. And her.
Yes I’ve had conversations with parents who just don’t know what happened and why their child ended up this way. The look of confusion on their faces. The denial they did anything wrong. The perfect family unit mentality.
They did everything right !!!
Ok. So I don’t know this family.
Apparently you do. So what happened ??
What’s the back story ??
There HAS TO BE A REASON this kid beats on his girlfriend.
What is it ??????
Truly we want to know. If you have a answer
I don’t know the answer but I’m not going to assume it’s the parents fault. That’s my point. You just instantly BLAME THE PARENTS…..RANT RANT RANT
Totally on the Parents !!
If not, then at what age does any kid “become responsible” for everything he does ??
How is it not the parents ??
Where are they ?
Where were they the last 5 years from 13 on ?
When the rite of passage to teen age years becomes a whole new list of teachable moments ??
You are saying parents have no influence on their own flesh and blood ?
How dare you say all of us other parents who taught our children right from wrong for all 18 years didn’t need to.
These parents of these two didn’t do enough.
I know plenty of A-hole parent who ended up having good kids and I know good parents with little shits for kids. Everyone has control over themselves, he is the only one to blame for his actions.
I blame your parents for raising a moron 👉
This kid is hardly a MAN.
Man Arrested ?!?
Try Kid.
Fucked up when he hit his “girlfriend”.
Men don’t hit girls. He’s a Boy. A lousy loser boy.
Nothing more
