Alright, so first some backstory:
About a year and a half ago I briefly worked with a construction sales company (I figured 2 jobs wasn’t enough so let’s go for 3). Worked this for about 4 months. My main reason for quitting was this specific owner. Created negative culture/environment and was a general douche (think of the coke head from the movie Horrible Bosses).
One night after a small company event he started going off on his wife for no reason in front of everybody. Terrible degrading **** that was undeserved, brink of domestic violence.
Nobody said anything, so I did. I began calm and quickly matched his escalation. He was not used to people standing up to him and to be quite honest, I would reconstruct his face with ease and he saw that in my eyes I meant business. He finally stfu and sat there in silence. I left about an hour later.
I choked my own father out when I was 17 and beat his ass as I was tired of him hitting my mom, I don’t stand for this garbage, still don’t. It strikes a nerve in me. People were dumbfounded the next day as to why I did what I did, I was questioning why they did not.
Fast forward to a a couple weeks ago.
Get a text from a friend with a list of criminal charges: reckless driving, domestic violence, obstruction of telephone, 2nd degree assault family strangulation, vehicular eluding, sexual assault rape strong arm by force, menacing/intimidation weapon. His bond is $1.5 million, cash only.
Mind blown, but at the same time not. This isn’t even all the charges (we will get to the rest later).
So apparently this worthless **** tied up and taped his wife for 4 hours, real twisted ****, choked and beat her with an AR. After the last session he forgot to remove the handcuff key in his manic state and went to the bathroom. She heard him pumping himself up to kill her. She ran out the front door and raced to the neighbors, naked and bloody. The police were called. He realized she escaped, jumped in his truck and set out. He was able to ditch the initial cops on backroads. Threw out 2 lbs of coke and his guns in some farm fields and ditched his truck. The next morning (before anyone was aware of any of this) he called a young new employee and told him he give him $20k cash for a ride to the border no questions asked. Dumb on the kids part but this guy was manipulative and that’s why he chose him. The kid goes and grabs him and they start driving.
There is a home show going on that day and the company has a booth set up. Suddenly a ton of police and a US marshal show up and ask where this guy is. Nobody knows. They ask what’s happening and they get the story. A few hours later the douchebag calls one of the other owners and says “he didn’t do anything or hurt her”. He’s like alright sure buddy but there is a US marshal looking for you so you’re not getting away. He turns himself in a later that night. From the jail phone he calls another employee and gives them directions and locations to go retrieve his coke and guns. You can’t make this **** up. The police subsequently went and found his goodies. As of yesterday they added intent to distribute, more weapons charges, and first degree attempted murder.
I got a bunch of “damn you were right about him” calls the next day from people still there. This scum deserves every inch coming his way in federal prison. Hindsight will be painful, pun intended. Have a great life Fokker.
