KENOSHA, Wis. — A 42-year-old Kenosha man accused of repeatedly violating court orders prohibiting him from contacting a woman is facing four new felony charges after prosecutors say he physically forced her into his SUV and took her back to his residence against her will. Manuel Maurice Woods, 42, of Kenosha, was charged Monday, November 9, with three counts of felony bail jumping, felony false imprisonment, domestic abuse battery, and two counts of domestic abuse disorderly conduct in two separate criminal cases. Despite allegations that Woods committed the offenses while already out on $10,000 cash bail in one felony case and $500 cash bail in another, Kenosha County Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum set another $1,000 cash bail in each of the two new cases.
