A Manitowoc man is facing charges after a weekend incident where he allegedly threatened to kill his girlfriend and her children.
Officers were dispatched to a home in the 1100 block of South 11th Street just before 10:00 on Sunday after a call was received where the female caller said “he is going to break the window” before hanging up.
When they arrived, officers spoke with the woman, who explained that she and her boyfriend had gotten into an argument, which resulted in him threatening her family.
She went to the lower unit in the building, which belonged to her mother, and the man ended up breaking two doors to gain entrance to the unit.
He fled the scene before police arrived, but he was found in the 1100 block of Lake Street.
While being arrested, he reportedly asked the officers, “Do you think 72 hours will keep them safe?” in reference to the 72-hour no-contact order that is issued in a domestic violence case.
The only charge against the 22-year-old man at this time is Disorderly Conduct with a Domestic Violence enhancer.
