Jacob Blake
Jacob Blake had a long history of entanglement with law enforcement when he lived in Lake County.
Blake's shooting on Aug. 23 by police in Kenosha sparked destructive riots in the Wisconsin city not far from the state border.
Records reveal Blake was arrested in 2013 in Round Lake Beach and criminal trespass to a vehicle and arrested in 2012 in Zion, Ill. for domestic battery, endangering the life and health of a child and driving under the influence.
Blake is currently facing a rape charge in Kenosha.
A warrant was issued for Blake’s arrest on July 7 on felony 3rd degree sexual assault, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass, all related to domestic abuse.
Blake has reportedly been paralyzed from the waist down after being shot eight times by police who were answering a domestic abuse call.
The rape charge started circulating on Twitter on Aug. 25 and was confirmed by a search of court records.
In addition to the rape charge, Blake has been a party to several child support disputes.
Blake appears to still be wanted under the warrant for the rape charge.
An arrest report showing the details of the alleged crime was not readily available.
After video was released of Blake’s shooting, riots broke out across Kenosha and continued despite the Wisconsin National Guard being activated in Kenosha by Gov. Tony Evers.
