Prescott, WI (US)

Incident Date: Wednesday, Jul 29, 2009
County: Pierce

Charges: Misdemeanor
Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: Christian A. Rech

A Hastings man was charged in Pierce County Circuit Court last month with five misdemeanors from three separate incidents that allegedly occurred in a seven-hour span.

Christian A. Rech, 35, stands accused of mistreating animals, possession of THC and drug paraphernalia, misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct that happened on July 29 within the City of Prescott. His next court appearance on the charges is a 3:30 p.m. Aug. 24 Pre-Trial Conference.

On July 30, Prescott Police Chief Mike R. Bondarenko visited the victim of the battery case to investigate an alleged violation of the no contact order. While there, the victim said that Rech had injured her brother’s dog around 4:30 p.m. the previous day.

The victim explained that Rech was at her house and was upset because he had backed into her car and had also backed into her garage door with his vehicle.

She explained that she was in the dining area of her home, which is adjacent to the living room, where a sofa lined the north wall of the room. She said she saw Rech walk into the living room, walk up to the sofa, pick up the dog, “Peekachoo”, a part Pekingese and part Chihuahua, with one hand, raise his arm and throw the puppy onto the floor with great force. It’s estimated the dog was thrown from a height of approximately five feet. Bondarenko said the dog was three months old and weighed less than a pound.
