WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) - A Wisconsin man who spent more than two weeks on the run after a domestic disturbance now faces additional charges.
Forty-three-year-old Jonathan Pogreba appeared in court Friday, the day after surrendering to authorities in Waukesha County.
WITI-TV reports prosecutors argued Pogreba is a danger to the public and a flight risk. Bail was set at $150,000 cash, and Pogreba remained in jail.
According to the complaint, Pogreba assaulted and pulled a gun on his wife at their Town of Eagle home on June 5, the day after she filed divorce papers. Their son fired a shotgun at his father, who fled.
An amended complaint says Pogreba stole a car from a neighbor’s house and broke into their basement.
Pogreba’s attorney contends his client only fled because he was shot at.
