  1. How is a guy like this even out on bond , what is he doing driving with a 4 th pending dui , I hope are system works locks this guy up before Kenosha has another domestic violence murder on there hands , sad for the victim seems like it’s exculating more and more each event .

  2. Wisconsin is to soft on DUI’S! This dude belongs in prison and his girlfriend needs to wise up and leave this fool!

  3. This guy was in prison for 15 years before!!! With his record he should have never been on the streets!!!! There were so many signs and several times where he should have never been let back out! Everyone around him were in danger! The courts need to wise up and put him away for years!!!!

    1. Just curious if you’re from Texas? We’ve been trying to find out his past convictions for 2 years now with no luck. If you personally know of him could you maybe post a link or something with information.

        1. The current victim is my MIL. Is there anyway you could get whatever convictions he has against your mother & send them to Kenosha County? Maybe it’ll be the nail in the coffin for him. He’ll just continue to do what he’s been doing.

  4. Should add more felony bail jumping , this guy has a pending 4 th dui , and is out driving like
    Nothing ever happened , with intox in his vech no respect for the law , from the looks of court record for previous battery D/c and bail jumping , 4 th DUI with refusal , they are making plea deal I sure hope that is off the table , and prosecute to full extent of the law , this behavior and disregard for the law is only going to make his behavior worse , let’s not have another domestic violence murder on Kenosha hands because are DA makes plea deals !!!















  5. This guy is on disability, a burden on the state can’t work but sure can drink and cause harm to others, so is prison cheaper then paying disability, I would think so !!! This guy comes into the gas station on hwy 11 all the time in his black ford f250 and buys alot of bottle of liquor ,





  6. This guy does work and also gets State help!!! State has been supporting him and her for years and they work for big cash.He tells a lot when he’s drunk!!! So us taxpayers are paying for him to run around endangering lifes everyday. It’s about time it all stops!!!!

    1. They lost that job when Lake Geneva wanted Air B&Bs out of their town. He’s also always talking out of his ass when drunk.





  7. This guy is a scammer , how do u collect disability, live in a big ass house drive a new truck , drink like a fish , beat women , run your mouth at the gas station , and get away with it . Something is not right here !!’

  8. This has been going on for a long time and she’s put up with it!!!! Unreal!!!! They both have been working since done at B&B. He’s so dumb he brags about all they have and says gets help from State. They’re both scamming the govt he says. When drunk he has a big mouth. He says they roll in big cash from work, think someone needs to turn them in!!!!





  9. If this guy doesn’t get prison time there’s something wrong! Look at all his charges at least 8 Felony’s!!!! Working and getting State help is another one that should be reported!!! Taxpayers are supporting him and his girlfriend and they’re making good cash money! They live in a big expensive house, drive new vehicles, he says have bought several other new things. Brags all the time like they’re better than anyone else! See him buying alcohol all the time and drunk behind the wheel!!!! If left out on the streets the next thing he’ll probably do is kill someone drunk! What goes around comes around in time it’ll catch up with both involved!!!!!

    1. You are beyond stupid, so what goes around comes around in time, it will catch up with the both of them. No woman deserves to be beaten an strangled. Have you had the chance to read what this article about? Or are you just reading the news paper looking for a job needing work? Stupid ass!!!

    2. Your stupid ass, what goes around comes around in time, catch up with both involved. No woman deserves to be beaten an strangled. Have you not read what the article about? Or are u reading adds in the newspaper looking for a job. Sounds like you need work. Thats all your speaking about. F dumb ass.





  10. So a
    Criminal search on this guy appears
    To be from Texas but has crimnal record in Texas and Alabama, looks like he served some
    Time for battery there as well , you can search it on internet for a few dollar fee , I would run into this guy all the time at the gas station on 11 and 83 , he drove a white dodge for some time then he got a
    Ford , if he was out on bail for a 4 th dui , how is he driving , don’t they suspend you while you are going to court ? How does
    Are
    da keep allowing this guy out of jail , and set low bail there a very concerning pattern here , the lady is lucky cause from his history next time she may not get this lucky , this guy needs a few years behind bars , and some serious treatment , and behavior counseling and prison be the best thing for him
