Milwaukee Man Charged With Beating Muskego Woman

A 27-year-old Milwaukee man is facing charges for allegedly beating a woman who loaned him money outside of a Muskego bar.

Joseph M. Oliver was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Wednesday with one count of misdemeanor battery and one count of disorderly conduct for allegedly beating the woman in a parking lot after a night of drinking at Bushy’s Pub and Grill, S67W14831 Janesville Rd. If convicted, he faces up to one year in prison and $11,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint, on April 29, Oliver and the victim were drinking at Bushy’s when she loaned him money to buy drinks. He then took her home and when she questioned him about the money they got into a physical altercation where he punched her in the face several times and pulled her out of the van by her hair.

A witness to the incident told investigators she also saw Oliver kick the victim in the stomach as well and then leave her in the parking lot as he sped off.
