Man Charged With Threatening to Shoot Muskego Woman

A Muskego man is facing charges after he threatened to shoot her for allowing another man into their children’s lives.

Anthony N. Reyes, 28, was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Thursday with one count of telephone harassment, one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and three counts of knowingly violating a domestic abuse order. If convicted, he faces up to nearly three years in prison and $4,500 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

The victim contacted police on Dec. 30 after Reyes told her he was going to kill her by “placing a bullet in the back of her head.” While she was talking with officers, Reyes called her cell phone and she put it on speaker phone so the officer could listen in on the conversation.

Reyes told the victim “I have so much hate for you in my head” and that he wouldn’t allow other men into their children’s lives “unless you want to bury your friend.”

Reyes then told the victim he has suicidal thoughts and would stay up until 5 a.m. thinking about life and handling a gun.

Officers then went to Reyes’ house where he was told to come out and surrender. After being arrested, police found rolling papers and a hollowed pen used for snorting narcotics.

He will make his initial appearance in court April 9.
