A Kenosha Police spokesman posted this to Facebook after the department was made aware of a video that has gone viral. The video allegedly shows a car salesman named “Bryan Slaven” who works at NH Auto Sales on South Sheridan Road in Kenosha, peeing on a woman’s driver’s license. According to a post the woman made on facebook Saturday night around 11 pm, she changed her mind about purchasing a vehicle earlier Saturday afternoon. According to the woman, she left her state-issued ID at the auto shop. She asked the man if she could send him $5 to mail it back to her. He said “yeah” and hung up. The woman said, she would later received a video on Instagram of someone at the shop peeing on her ID and insulting the Waukesha woman.

We reached out to NH Auto Sales via email and phone and did not hear back. There is a Kenosha Police car in front of the business at 4 pm Sunday evening. This is a breaking story

    1. Not hard to do a Google search and find just about everything on this kid’s family in Gurnee, all of their Facebook profiles, addresses, etc…..

      1. Thats a different Bryan Slaven, the one in the video lives in milwaukee and is 26
        Contact him at:
        *** N Van Buren St #****
        Milwaukee, WI 53202
        (847) ***-3186 (not 100% on the phone number but the address is his for sure lol)

        1. Scratch that, its probably his dad as some of the info lines up, he currently lives away from the family in Milwaukee though

  1. Sounds like the cops are protecting the business instead of investigating what they did to the woman’s license.

    Sounds about white.

    20
    1. Or they now have to investigate while also trying to ensure the community doesn’t vandalize another business due to an emotional reaction. The lady and community have a solid reason to be angered, but, not all persons there may be a part of the problem.

      21

      1. Are you saying someone like say a Kyle Rittenhouse might decide that they might need to defend this woman and other future customers from this business ???

        9
        14
      2. Shame on you for being a reasonable person. Looks like most of the nutjobs on here don’t tolerate that kind of thinking and only look at situations through a racial lens.

          1. Shows what type of person you are to take that from that whole story clown

          2. Sounds like you condone it you cuck. Know how we fix issues like this. Take a bat to the heads of punks like him and you.

            6
            3
      1. His friend posted a Snapchat showing him looking at a computer and captioned it “laughing at all the minorities he pissed off”

      2. Nope. Wait to see the OVERCHARGING the KPD does in this case. It’s political and the victim is black. They will charge them will things they gotta look up and never used before just wait for it. Gotta appease those watching but will never watch it all the way through court and watch the charges dissipate.

        Are they BULLSHIT and POS for doing this….Yes, F both of them. But after KPD is done piling on political charges we should all wonder about our system.

        These two guys will get bigger charges than someone who beats the F out of people.

        Just watch. And wait for the KPD Lt. To happily announce his dept political charges. Although even his dumbass knows they are bullshit and will never pan out in court.

        Just wait for it.

        1. They got off with community service. Disgusting. They should have been given sentences relative to a hate crime but this is America!

    2. So 2 wrongs make a right, and death threats are acceptable for peeing on a drivers license? This has made it all the way to Reddit. People have been threatening to kill him

      2
      6
    1. Another MAGA bringing up Rottenhouse. Who beat up an under age girl days before shooting sticking up for equality of vide. You type of people will accept any piece of garbage as long as they’re doing something to a minority. Trash

      4
      6
  2. Kind of makes you wonder what else is going on……

    Why would some kids from Illinois who went to Marquette (and seemingly have no ties to Kenosha) open up a used car dealer in Kenosha selling crappy $4k vehicles? Hmm…..makes you wonder.

    33
    4
    1. Or there is more to the story about her behavior. Not saying what he did is right, but why would someone do something like this?

      2
      11
    1. I’ve never seen a dude piss like that. Maybe he does “sounding” to gape his piss hole? But really it just looks fake. The stream is wide as fuck and clear as water. It’s splashing out from under the stream like a hose does. If that’s how he pisses, he must piss on his shoe and pants every time at the urinal. And they just piss all over other cars in their garage? Kind of weird.

      4
      1
        1. You ever leave the house? Ever see a pissing contest after a late night at the bar? Ever been to baseball games where all they had was a trough? Ever been to a hippie festival? Ever been on a hunting/camping/fishing expedition? Ever watched movies?

  3. When are you going to write about how Zach Rodriguez doesn’t even live in his district? We’re on to him, and the justice system is not far behind….

    9
    15
  4. Poor white business made a mistake. The racism in all of this. How the police can stand there protecting the business when an innocent persons information was all over the internet. It’s her house they should be protecting, not the business. At the businesses expense. And Bryan with the apt initials, is the owner. How did the writer fail to mention that? The whiteness of it all.

    30
    10
    1. The Kenosha police should protect her house (in Waukesha) because people are threatening to damage the business in Kenosha???? I’ll assume you didn’t read the article, or you did not graduate high school. I would never go to this slum shop anyway. Hopefully these clowns are put out of business by boycott alone. But, the next low class used car lot will just move in anyway. Nothing good “moves into town” on the east side of green bay, unless its one of the downtown buildings. Thats a problem for Kenosha.

      11
      6
      1. No you missed the point. Her personal Information was broadcast and if the Auto company wanted to retaliate, they and the world knows where she lives. I assume you didn’t read the article or graduate High School. Get a clue you immature Asshole

        4
        4
  5. Those coos need to be investigated. I hope that she files a lawsuit against Bryan Slaven and his so-called dealership. Losers.

  6. The hostility to the woman by this business owner putting her ID online with the private information and pissing on it. If y’all can’t acknowledge this as racist then you’ve hardened your head and heart and commited yourself to protecting racists

    17
    13
  7. The employee should be fired…
    It’s not the business’s fault.
    If the employee is an owner then they should get sued.
    I own the business employees do some stupid s***.

    5
    2
  8. Bryan Slavern’s license is suspended.
    He likes to drive 25-29mph over the limit.
    He also does not pay his many traffic tickets
    And he is in the automotive business?
    Sounds like the State of Wisconsin should investigate his dealership license since he is listed as the owner of NH Auto Sales, LLC!

    12
  9. Everybody on all sides who’s accusing some kind of wrongdoing by the police should maybe step back and see how things play out for the next 48 hours or so? If arrests can be made, I’m sure they will be, but in the meantime I think it’s kind of nice to see a proactive approach. I wish there were enough police to guard everybody’s houses, though.

    2
    2
  10. The police presence in front of the dealership is not about being white. The guy sounds like he’s terribly immature and was angry that the deal fell through. He would have probably acted this way with anyone (excuse my language but he was being an asshole). What this guy did was despicable and he should should be punished. However, this can’t escalate into another August 2020 situation. Kenosha can’t afford to burn and be looted again.

    8
    2
    1. Kenosha was burned down by BLM people and others from Milwaukee coming into our town, not Kenosha residents!!! Get your facts straight!!

      8
      20
      1. No such thing as BLM people you clan member. It’s just people that want to be treated fairly. Not a group clown. Don’t put everyone in the same group cause your small mindedness. Just like protestors are not rioters. Don’t label them as all the same. And please, don’t act like Kenosha is some innocent town. A lot of Kenosha people were out there. BLM burned down Kenosha. What a joke. Bet you loved this video. Typical Kenosha resident. Racist town

        1
        4
      2. Trying to blame them all for a few idiots. And don’t think passed those owners getting people to burn down there places for money. Interesting how it was a couple buildings targeted and never were built back. Don’t be so naive and small minded

    2. I agree. I think he was mad because of the no sale, not the color of the person. It’s disgusting what he did, if in fact it was pee and not a hose, but even making it “look” like it may be pee is horrible!

  11. Just because two differing races were involved doesn’t make this about race. This defective person may have done this no matter what color the persons skin. Most likely he has done this and more to other people.
    It’s about respect of PEOPLE.
    We all need to do more respect of all people and property. Sue this company, sue the co-owner personally. Protest and expose their business practices and if possible seek criminal sanctions. But we shouldn’t assume this is about race in one uncident. It’s about an idiot who needs to learn a big lesson.

    20
    3
    1. The reason its also about RACE, is because someone recorded him on snapchat laughing at the outrage and titled the video “laughing at all the mad minorities”………so yea its racial.

      8
      1
  12. Looking up public records on Bryan Slaven, reveals a history of general contempt for customers and his fellow citizens, black and white. Stay away from this piece of disrespectful garbage. Tell all your friends and neighbors about him to avoid becoming one of his victims.
    Thanks Kevin for posting this community heads up warning.

    10
  13. Maybe he’s a sexist, thats why he peed on a woman’s DL? Did he say racist things in the video? I already accept the guy is an immature idiot, but what automatically makes it about race? Perhaps he would do the same to a white woman? When everything is “racist”, nothing is….. I’ve never seen or met this idiot, and don’t want to.

    9
    4
  14. Well, if he wanted to get attention, he certainly got it and I hope it runs him out of business and Kenosha! I wonder if his parents are proud of him now?

    I truly don’t understand how someone can be so disrespectful for someone else’s property! I’m not sure if you truly can see the girl’s personal info if you zoom in on the video, but I can understand her anger and I hope her lawsuit has merit and these jackasses get what they deserve! Perhaps a little time behind bars, might suit them well and maybe he will think before being an asshole to the next person!!

  15. I guess this kid doesn’t seem real smart. He lives in Milwaukee and his address is readily available via CCAP. He does something that is shitty and likely racial to an African American who also lives in the city.

    If I were him, I doubt I’d be laughing considering the NW side of Milwaukee is about a 5 minute drive from his place. They do things to people for a heck of a lot less there….

  16. Last second shows he’s a Trump supporter. Says all that needs to be said. White tra$h And dumber than a box of rocks. The real problem and pollution. Especially in toxic Kenosha. Another snap showing him making fun of minorities.

    Kenosha’s become a dump of all dumps.

    This little kid and princess, is pure trash

    3
    11
  17. What do you expect from a town that supports Rottenhouse? A town that pretends like he wasn’t on video beating up a underage girl sticking up for equality days before and a block away ufrom the shooting days later and flashing white power signs at local bars up to court. Guy was making fun of monitors in another snap. Kenosha is a racist town full of people as dumb as it gets

    5
    10
    1. People really ignore that video of it, like it’s not all over the internet.

      Also seen that trump pic at the end. Not surprising

    2. The OK sign is not a white power sign.
      Heiling Hitler like all the Ukrainian Nazis are doing in Bidens war is a white power sign.

      2
      8
      1. Look at you. Defending it all. Pathetic, kid was a known racist in his small IL hillbilly town,

        Justify him beating the sht out that girl….people show their colors when make comments like yours, even though you think you’re playing it safe

        1
        7
  18. Typical behavior by a sadistic people who still can’t cope with others having melanin. The world is sick of you. We are glad there is only 750 million of you left globally and dropping thanks to drugs abuse, low birth rates, an overwhelming sadistic desire to kill your own family members, and my favorite… the war in Ukraine. Asshole Russians vs Nazi Ukrainians. White on white violence at its best.

    1
    6
    1. Keep on obsessing and blaming race on everything. You’re not only a complete media fool but you’ll never grow beyond the hate that controls everything you do in life. And by the way, how do you explain the thousands of murders in the inner cities? You have the nerve to write about “killing your own family members” and have the audacity to call out “white on white violence” when your melanin people are gunning each other down in record numbers. Keep smokin that crack bro.

  19. Not sure how you test drive a car without physical possession of your driver’s license. I’m willing to bet she got all the way through the sales process and didn’t like the price & financing offered & walked away. That’s her prerogative.

    What gets me is what he was doing holding onto her license. At no time have I ever surrendered any identity documents for more than a few minutes for a sales-person to make a copy. Then I took them right back. I don’t play games.

    It appears to me the car dealership was playing games. Now the business needs to suffer for this tick turds actions.

  20. I have some questions about this video before I even comment on what is alleged, and it seems journalists are not doing their jobs again.
    1. Why would he urinate on a vehicle?
    2. Why would he urinate inside of a building that he works and other work?
    3. There seems to be a hose on the ground; could this be a car washing bay attached to the building?
    4. Why does the stream of of urine looks odd? Unless he was drinking a lot of water, the urine looks very clear and the stream was oddly powerful enough to move the license. I have some doubt on whether or not that would be possible. I saw a comment from one person earlier questioning it. I had similar questions when I initially saw the video. I actually found this site while searching to see if anyone else was having the same thoughts on this.

  21. Pee or water it’s a shame one would video such trash.
    This man has a problem, a salesman that is upset because she decided she didn’t want the car and do that. What else is he or have done.
    Where do this hate comes from.
    I believe if it was a white young lady the investigation wouldn’t take waiting.
    White Truck, Trump hotel, White Man doing this to a young black female, just call it what it is!!!!
    Hate in his heart, she didn’t piss him off, He pissed off or hosed off the anger that’s stored in his heart.
    God will revenge, He knows our hearts, the hidden hate that is deeply stored from birth .
    Thank God for more car lots, thank God it known that hate comes in many entities.
    Young lady pray for him and trust God to have you in a car purchased with dignity and new licenses you will get for those are no good!
    Have a Blessed Day!✝️
