BRISTOL, Wis. – A 47-year-old Zion, Illinois, man is facing five criminal charges in Kenosha County after allegedly strangling the mother of his child in front of their 5-year-old daughter and later making repeated racial slurs at a Black sheriff’s deputy during his arrest.

Maybe he should make those statements to his cell mates.
“Oh no! He said words!”
You people are pathetic
Cocaine is a hell of a drug!!!
Before people rush to judgment, I want to speak up for someone who doesn’t deserve the picture being painted of him. What’s being published doesn’t reflect the full truth. A witness was present and clearly stated that she was the one who attacked him not the other way around. The only thing he did was try to defend himself by holding her back to stop the attack. She had already smashed a bottle over his head because he told her he was done with her a week earlier, and his face was visibly swollen. He never choked anyone.
This isn’t the first time she’s done something like this. It’s the second time she’s made false claims against him and he was found innocent the first time. Sadly, it seems like history is repeating itself.
If he said anything harsh during the arrest, it was out of frustration and hurt especially in the face of clear racial bias from the officers. This man is not a racist. He has close friends and family of all backgrounds and is well known and liked.
What’s happening is not only unfair, it’s damaging to someone who’s trying to protect his child and do the right thing. He didn’t want the mother to leave the state with their child without his consent and now it feels like he’s being punished for standing up for his rights as a father. I just hope the full truth comes out, because that’s what he and their child deserve.
