Man Charged After Tossing Broken Chair at a Window

A 29-year-old Milwaukee man is facing charges after he threw a broken plastic chair at a Greenfield man’s window when he became upset with the chair being set in his girlfriend’s parking stall.

Samuel L. Stokes was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on Friday with one count of disorderly conduct. If convicted, he faces up to 90 days in jail and $1,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

On Tuesday, Stokes was at a residence in the 4800 block of South 72nd Street when he found a broken plastic chair sitting in his girlfriend’s parking stall. He then confronted another man about the chair, who was inside his own residence.

Stokes stood outside yelling profanities and threatening the man before he eventually picked up the chair and threw it at the man’s window.

He will make his initial appearance in court Monday.
