An Oak Creek man who is accused of slashing his mother with a knife and shooting her three times with an AK-47 told police that he committed the acts after she refused to give him $2 to pay a cover charge to get into a bar, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
The man, Frederick W. Bertrang of the 8600 block of S. Fenway Court, also told Oak Creek officers that he slashed his mother, and stabbed his brother’s girlfriend, in self-defense and that he fired multiple shots to scare the two women and his brother, the complaint says.
