Man Rams Car He Thought Was His Wife's
FOND DU LAC, Wis. - A man accused of repeatedly ramming a car he thought belonged to his estranged wife has been charged with two counts of criminal damage to property.
Armando Cortez, 34, was charged Monday in Fond du Lac County Court and released on a $1,000 cash bond.
A criminal complaint said Cortez repeatedly rammed his van into the side of a Ford Escort, pushing it into a pick-up truck in the same driveway at a town of Friendship home Friday around 6:30 a.m.
Witnesses say he hit the car 20 to 30 times until the Escort and the truck were pushed up against a tree and couldn't go any further — about 47 feet.
The man told officers he knew the car he was ramming belonged to his wife because he bought the car for her, but it turned out to be her neighbor's.
Police said alcohol was likely a factor. He could face up to nine months in prison and $10,000 in fines.
Cortez was scheduled to return to court Sept. 3.
