West Allis Man Accused Of Injecting, Abusing Girlfriend: Report

WEST ALLIS, WI — A West Allis man is facing several charges after reportedly injecting unknown substances into his on-again, off-again girlfriend. Patrick E. Tredeau, 46, is facing five felony charges and three misdemeanors, according to court documents, and the woman could be facing permanent hand paralysis.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, police responded to the Tredeau's house in the 1500 block of South 62nd Street on June 18, when a 36-year-old woman told them that a month prior, Tredeau had injected something into her hand after she fell asleep.

She told police the injection made it feel like she was "shocked by lightning," the report says, adding that a doctor said her hand may be permanently paralyzed because of it.

Two days later, police responded to Tredeau's home after the victim's mother reported her missing. When police found her, she said Tredeau had kept her captive for about a day and forced Xanax and another injection on her, the Journal Sentinel reported court documents as saying.

Patch reached out to Tredeau's attorney, Thomas Harris, who declined to comment on the case.

Tredeau is charged with two counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety, aggravated batter with the intention of causing great bodily harm, two counts of false imprisonment, battery, disorderly conduct and possession of drug paraphernalia.

If Tredeau posts his $15,000 bond, he'll be required to be electronically monitored and is barred from contact with three individuals and a condo complex.

Tredeau's next court date is set for July 22.
