A Griffith man faces decades in prison after kicking the door down to a couple’s apartment. His dog attacked the other man.
Ryan Wisniewski, 33, is charged with Level 1 felony burglary, Level 4 felony burglary, Level 5 felony possession of a destructive device, two counts of Level 5 felony battery, Level 6 felony residential entry and four misdemeanors.
He is being held without bail. It will be reset to $10,000 cash surety on Jan 3.
Police responded around 10:30 a.m. Dec. 16 to the 8000 block of Matterhorn Court in Crown Point.
The couple told police that Wisniewski kicked the door down a few times before. The woman said he and Wisniewski were “old high school friends,” the affidavit states.
Wisniewski went into a “psychotic rage,” the man said. Police described the dog as “pit bull-like.” The man had a 3-inch cut behind his ear.
Officers later found a Molotov cocktail in Wisniewski’s car.
