A Northbrook man accused of repeatedly beating a woman while holding her and her children captive for a week has been arrested for the 65th time since 2001, police said.
Francisco Tirado, 27, of the 3700 block of Salem Walk in unincorporated Northbrook, was charged Friday with two felony counts of aggravated domestic battery and one felony count of aggravated unlawful restraint, the Cook County Sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Later, Tirado ordered the woman to drive him home, but when she headed toward the Jefferson Park District police station, he held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her children, the statement said.
The woman and children escaped when he fell asleep. I can't imagine another easy sentence, though he has been ordered to stay away from the woman and her family. I hope she has somewhere to hide until he is put behind bars for a long time, or until number 66 does the trick.
All together now: yeah, right.
