Man Who Sent Woman Death Threats Via Text Arrested: Police

OAK CREEK, WI — A 35-year-old Milwaukee-area man is facing multiple charges after authorities in Oak Creek say he is responsible for making threats to a woman he used to be in a relationship with.

According to Oak Creek police, officers responded to a home on the 500 block of E. Forest Hill Ave. just after 7 a.m. on April 28 on a report of disorderly conduct.

According to police reports, a woman stated that the man was standing outside her house with a handgun, and had sent the woman videos he recorded for her that contained threatening messages.

According to reports, the man had sent her numerous text messages stating "dead woman walking," and "I'm going to shoot your sister," along with I'm not going to stop until you're dead."

Police reported that they checked the area for the suspect, to no avail. Police sent a continuous ping to his cell phone and requested that Milwaukee police search the area where the pings were electronically recorded on department monitoring equipment.

Reports indicated that Milwaukee police managed to take him into custody later that day. Police reportedly conducted a search at his property and found a .45 caliber Remington pistol that was fully loaded.

Patch will update this story when formal charges are filed with the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
