WINONA, Minn. – Police arrested a whisky-chugging man who, angry with his fiancé, had threatened suicide out a third-floor apartment window downtown. The man, Drake Mathew Brown-Lisowski, age 25, was gone when police arrived. Officers found him shoeless and shirtless at the Masterpiece Hall construction site across the street. He was “very intoxicated,” police said. This was about 2 a.m. in the 150 block of West Fifth Street. The girlfriend, age 22, had called police after what she described as a scary assault. By her account, Brown-Laskowski was upset that she had gone out with friends to downtown bars and hadn’t invited him along. When she returned to their apartment, he had downed most of a bottle of whisky and was angry, she told police. This is what happened next, she said: After an argument he chased her room to room. She grabbed the whisky: “You’ve had enough.” She smashed the bottle, which shattered, which fueled his anger. She fled to a bedroom. He caught the door before it closed and threw a hard-shell picnic cooler at her. He pinned her to the wall with a piece of furniture and stormed out. She freed herself and found he had ripped out a window screen and had his legs hanging out. She called 911. By the time officers arrived, he was gone. They found him less than a block away at the Masterpiece site. He was arrested and charged with domestic assault causing fear and injury. Police said the woman had a bruise from the hurled picnic cooler.
