WINONA, Minn. — Police arrested a Winona man based on terroristic telephone threats against his girlfriend’s former boyfriend. Arrested was Tyler Eugene Kingsley, age 37, of Winona. The threat: “I’ll come to your house and kill you and your wife and your oldest child and burn your house down.” Police had been called about 8:15 a.m. to the girlfriend’s place, in the 150 residential block of East Fifth Street, to sort out a confused child custody exchange. While there, police learned of the call with the threat. The children in the house are 16 and 13, one of whom is subject to shared custody. Police believed the custody mix-up was innocent enough and due to the estranged father being in the process of moving.
Kingsley. Charge: Reckless terroristic threat. Jailed roughly three hours after police were called to unravel child custody issue.
