Theft, Forgery Not Enough to Stop This Port Woman
The 33-year-old Port Washington woman already facing charges for stealing jewelry and using a fake check at Walmart recently threatened a teenager and was charged with disorderly conduct.
A 33-year-old Port Washington added charges to her already pending court cases after threatening a teenager whom she and her son accused of stealing alcohol.
Onyetta Kretlow, 33, was charged June 10 in Ozaukee County Circuit Court with one count of disorderly conduct and three counts of felony bail jumping. She faces $31,000 in fines and 18 years and 90 days in jail in connection with the new charges.
Officers were called to Grady Park in Saukville at 7:40 p.m. June 8, according to the criminal complaint. Kretlow and her son had accused another boy of stealing alcohol from Kretlow's home.
The teenager had a bloody nose and a tooth was chipped. He and a witness said Kretlow's son had punched him, according to the complaint, and then Kretlow got in his face, threatening and swearing at him. At one point, she said something to the effect of, "you don't (expletive) talk to my son that way."
Kretlow was charged in January for trying to sell jewelry she had stolen from a Cedarburg business. In February, she was charged after being caught using a fake check at Walmart.
Kretlow is set to make her next court appearance at 1:30 p.m. July 15.
