GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A Green Bay man is once again in trouble with the law, this time for allegedly breaking into an apartment, attacking a man and stealing some of his stuff.
18-year-old Contreal S. Tramble is charged with burglary, substantial battery and criminal damage to property.
According to the criminal complaint, Green Bay police responded to a suspicious situation call at an apartment in the 900 block of Elmore Street early on January 24.
The alleged victim told police that he was home with a girl around 10:30 the night before and that Contreal contacted him on his cell about hanging out. The victim said that he didn’t want to hang out, but asked Contreal to give the girl there a ride home.
Around 11 p.m., Contreal arrived in a vehicle driven by a white girl. The victim said he came upstairs and picked up the girl to take her home. The victim then told the cops he went upstairs to watch TV and go to bed.
The victim said about 90 minutes later, he awoke to hearing a crash in the kitchen and the next thing he remembered was being hit in the face with something that knocked him out. When he regained consciousness, he ran out of the house and saw, “3 black men running off the property to Northern Avenue. One of the men turned around as they ran out and he knew him as Treal or Contreal.”
He didn’t recognize the other two guys, but said he saw them get into the same vehicle driven by the same white girl as before. Once back inside, the victim said his PlayStation 3, HTC M9 phone and about $200 in cash was gone.
The criminal complaint states that the responding officer noticed the door to the kitchen appeared to have been broken, with the frame in multiple pieces around the kitchen. There also appeared to be blood on the door frame, and the victim admitted it was his.
There was also the distinct odor of burnt marijuana in the victim’s bedroom. He denied that there was any burnt marijuana in the room. The victim also, per the complaint, said that Contreal initially contacted him about buying marijuana, which he denied wanting to do and then, “Quickly retracted that statement.”
Contreal was also identified through his Facebook profile and a GERP mugshot. Both attended Southwest High School.
Back in June 2015, Tramble was convicted of two counts of battery.
Tramble is due in court Friday for a preliminary hearing. If convicted on all charges, Tramble faces more than 20 years in prison.
