Warrant issued for Cadott man accused of sexual assault
CHIPPEWA FALLS — A warrant has been issued for a Cadott man who was charged with sexually assaulting an unconscious person in March 2024.
John T. Davis, 51, 14153 250th St., is charged in Chippewa County Court with second-degree sexual assault of an unconscious person, third-degree sexual assault and fourth degree sexual assault.
Davis failed to show up for a court hearing Wednesday, so Judge Steve Gibbs issued a warrant for his arrest, which took effect Friday. Davis' attorney, George Miller, said he had not been in contact with Davis that day but has had good communications with him in the past. The warrant calls for extradition if required.
The terms of Davis' release prohibit any contact with the accuser.
According to the criminal complaint, the woman told police she was at a residence in Lake Hallie with Davis when he began to remove her clothing. She stated she was intoxicated and told him she didn't want to have sex. However, he proceeded to have sex with her, and she was 'in and out of consciousness' during intercourse.
Davis entered a not guilty plea at his arraignment in September.
Court records show Davis has previously been convicted of four drunk-driving offenses, possession of illegally obtained prescriptions, and obstructing an officer.

2 found guilty in 10-year-old girl's Fourth of July shooting death in Cleveland
[Attached video: Previous FOX 8 coverage] CLEVELAND (WJW) — It's been nearly one year since a 10-year-old girl was shot and killed while celebrating the Fourth of July holiday at a family gathering in Cleveland. Wednesday, two men charged in her death, Juwone Deaver and Jemerious Davis, were both found guilty of murder. Young mother killed in shooting at Cleveland Metroparks Mill Creek Falls On the evening of July 4, 2024, friends and family had gathered at a home at West 125th Street and Triskett Road. As FOX 8 News has previously reported, 10-year-old Gracie Griffin was standing outside the residence along with Deaver, Davis and Katie McKnight. According to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley, a vehicle with four people inside drove to the house for the party. The vehicle drove past the house, turned around and pulled in front of the home. 'Deaver and Davis then opened fire shooting multiple times with a .45 caliber firearm and an AK-style firearm at the vehicle,' a Wednesday news release from O'Malley's office stated. Gracie Griffin was struck in the head during the shooting and pronounced dead at the hospital. Investigators determined that no shots were fired from the vehicle. There was 'only evidence of outgoing fire from the residence.' Retired Cleveland police officer killed in fire 'An innocent 10-year-old girl lost her life because too many guns are finding their way into the hands of stupid people,' O'Malley was quoted in the news release. 'While this verdict does not bring back Gracie, it is a significant step in justice for her. My thoughts and prayers remain with her family.' Deaver and Davis will be sentenced at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center on July 8 at 8:30 a.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Charlotte man accused of trying to sexually assault woman after helping her with groceries
Court records obtained by Channel 9 this week say a man offered to help a woman with her groceries before trying to sexually assault her in her own apartment. It happened last week after the woman got off the bus along Monroe Road. Channel 9 Crime Reporter Hunter Sáenz learned that the woman fought back. Kristopher Davis was arrested and charged with attempted second-degree sexual offense. Police say the victim is a woman who is developmentally disabled. 'I think it always hits home a little bit more when it's someone who we know is especially vulnerable,' said Leanna Pai, who works with survivors at Safe Alliance. The domestic and sexual violence resource center says roughly 80% of women with disabilities say they've been sexually assaulted. That's 40% higher than their non-disabled counterparts. 'Someone who is an abuser or might assault someone can definitely take advantage of physical limitations, or cognitive limitations,' Pai told Sáenz. The victim told police she got off a bus with her groceries and Davis walked up, introduced himself, and insisted on helping her carry her groceries. When they got to her apartment, she told police that Davis insisted on coming inside. When he did, he told her, 'Now I'm going to have oral sex with you,' according to court records. Davis is then accused of 'smacking her twice' and also grabbed for her clothing, court documents say. She told officers she was able to run out screaming, and that got the attention of someone at the leasing office, who came outside -- that spooked off Davis. Police say that when the victim went to get help, Davis ran away. He was later caught and taken into custody and held on a $100,000 secured bond. He was then transferred to another county to face additional charges there. Pai says she wants women to know they have a safe place they can go. Safe Alliance has a 24-hour hope line that survivors can call for support and resources. That number is 980-771-HOPE and it's available in English and Spanish.

Protests over immigration raids pop up across the US with more planned
The Trump administration said it would continue its program of raids and deportations despite the protests. 'ICE will continue to enforce the law,' Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted Tuesday on social media. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up A look at some protests across the country: Advertisement Austin Four Austin police officers were injured and authorities used chemical irritants to disperse a crowd of several hundred demonstrators Monday night that moved between the state Capitol and a federal building that houses an ICE office. State officials had closed the Capitol to the public an hour early in anticipation of the protest. Austin police used pepper spray balls and state police used tear gas when demonstrators began trying to deface the federal building with spray paint. The demonstrators then started throwing rocks, bottles and other objects at a police barricade, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said. Three officers were injured by 'very large' rocks and another was injured while making an arrest, she said. Advertisement Austin police arrested eight people, and state police arrested five more. Davis said her department is prepared for Saturday's planned protest downtown. 'We support peaceful protest,' Davis said. 'When that protest turns violent, when it turns to throwing rocks and bottles ... that will not be tolerated. Arrests will be made.' Protesters marched in opposition of federal deportation operations in San Francisco, on Monday. The protest comes in the wake of National Guard personnel arriving in Los Angeles following President Trump's order. LOREN ELLIOTT/NYT Dallas A protest that drew hundreds to a rally on a city bridge lasted for several hours Monday night before Dallas police declared it an 'unlawful assembly' and warned people to leave or face possible arrest. Dallas police initially posted on social media that officers would not interfere with a 'lawful and peaceful assembly of individuals or groups expressing their First Amendment rights.' But officers later moved in and media reported seeing some in the crowd throw objects as officers used pepper spray and smoke to clear the area. At least one person was arrested. 'Peaceful protesting is legal,' Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, posted on X. 'But once you cross the line, you will be arrested.' San Francisco About 200 protesters gathered outside the San Francisco Immigration Court on Tuesday after activists said several arrests were made there. That gathering came after protests on Sunday and Monday swelled to several thousand demonstrators and saw more than 150 arrests with outbreaks of violence that included vandalized buildings, and damaged cars, police vehicles and buses. Police said two officers suffered non-life threatening injuries. Most of the arrests were Sunday night. Protesters faced off with officers with Federal Protective Service outside a blocked exit at the Immigration Court on Tuesday, in Seattle. Martha Bellisle/Associated Press 'Individuals are always free to exercise their First Amendment rights in San Francisco, but violence, especially against SFPD officers, will never be tolerated,' San Francisco police posted on social media. Advertisement Police described Monday's march as 'overwhelmingly peaceful,' but said 'two small groups broke off and committed vandalism and other criminal acts.' Several people were detained or arrested, police said. Seattle About 50 people gathered outside the immigration court in downtown Seattle on Tuesday, chanting with drums and holding up signs that said, 'Free Them All; Abolish ICE' and 'No to Deportations.' The protest was initially peaceful but protesters began putting scooters in front of building entryways before police arrived. Mathieu Chabaud, with Students for a Democratic Society at the University of Washington, said they were there in solidarity with the Los Angeles protesters, 'and to show that we're opposed to ICE in our community.' Legal advocates who normally attend the immigration court hearings as observers and to provide support to immigrants were not allowed inside the building. Security guards also turned away the media. The hearings are normally open to the public. Hundreds of protesters gathered in Lower Manhattan early Tuesday evening for a demonstration against Trump's immigration crackdown, continuing several days of protests that began more than 2,400 miles away in Los Angeles. VICTOR J. BLUE/NYT New York City A mass of people rallied in lower Manhattan on Tuesday evening to protest deportations and federal immigration policy. Demonstrators gathered outside two federal buildings that house immigration courts and began marching amid a heavy police presence. Some protesters held signs reading 'ICE out of New York' and others chanted, 'Why are you in riot gear? I don't see no riot here.' New York City police said multiple people were taken into custody. There were no immediate charges. Chicago In Chicago, a small crowd gathered Tuesday outside immigration court in downtown and called for an end to Trump administration immigration sweeps and military presence in California. Demonstrators against President Trump's immigration crackdown clashed with police in downtown Chicago on Tuesday. JAMIE KELTER DAVIS/NYT 'With the militarization of Los Angeles it's time to get out and let Trump know this is unacceptable,' said retiree Gary Snyderman. 'All of this is so unconstitutional.' Advertisement The group then marched through downtown streets drumming and chanting, 'No more deportations!' The demonstration had grown to at least a thousand protesters by late Tuesday, remaining relatively peaceful with limited engagement between the group and police officers. Santa Ana In Santa Ana near Los Angeles, armored vehicles blocked the road Tuesday morning leading into the Civic Center, where federal immigration officers and numerous city and county agencies have their offices. Workers swept up plastic bottles and broken glass from Monday's protests. Tiny shards of red, black and purple glass littered the pavement. Nearby buildings and the sidewalk were tagged with profane graffiti slogans against ICE and had Trump's name crossed out. A worker rolled paint over graffiti on a wall to block it out. National Guard officers wearing fatigues and carrying rifles prevented people from entering the area unless they worked there. While a small group kept up their demonstration Tuesday, several counter-protesters showed up. One man wore a red T-shirt and Make America Great Again cap as he exchanged words with the crowd opposing the raids. People join members of Mass. 50501 and several local Service Employees International Union (SEIU) chapters in protesting the ICE raids in Los Angeles and the continued detention of David Huerta, on Monday. Brett Phelps for The Boston Globe) Boston Hundreds of people Protesters held signs reading 'Massachusetts stands with our neighbors in Los Angeles' and 'Protect our immigrant neighbors,' and shouted, 'Come for one, come for all' and 'Free David, free them all.' Huerta, president of Service Employees International Union California, was released from federal custody later Monday on $50,000 bond. 'An immigrant doesn't stand between an American worker and a good job, a billionaire does,' said Chrissy Lynch, President of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. Advertisement Washington, D.C. Several unions gathered Monday in Washington to protest the raids and rally for Huerta's release, and marched past the Department of Justice building. Among the demonstrators was U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington state. 'Enough of these mass ICE raids that are sweeping up innocent people,' Jayapal said. 'As we see people exercising the constitutional rights to peacefully use their voices to speak out against this injustice, they are being met with tear gas and rubber bullets.' People protest against recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests in the Columbia Heights neighborhood in D.C., on Tuesday.
