Man Puts Foot Through TV, Says We Are All Like Casey Anthony

The Menomonee Falls man then allegedly went through a residence smashing things with a German helmet.

"We are all the same as Casey Anthony"

That was the drunken epiphany a 37-year-old Menomonee Falls man shared with his roomates after a night of drinking. He followed up his statement by putting his foot through a television and smashed up a residence with a German helmet.

Shane A. Budiac was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Monday with one count of disorderly conduct domestic abuse. If convicted, he faces up to 90 days in prison and $1,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint, at 7 p.m. July 5, Budiac came home from a bar and put his foot through a television while telling his roommates “we are all the same as Casey Anthony” and then continued to complain about them living with him. He then continued to rant and started to throw items into the empty area where the television screen used to be.

The complaint states Budiac then continued to yell and grabbed a German helmet, which he then used to smash a glass coffee table and call a woman living with him a “whore” and that she “doesn’t know anything about the world.”

He then took the helmet and threw it against several horror movie action figures that were on a shelf and then took a gas mask that had been near the figures and smashed it against a wall. He then took the helmet and began using it to destroy a cat play land.

Budiac continued to rant and rave while walking around the residence until police were called. Budiac is scheduled to make his first appearance in court Aug. 1.
