2007 Arrest For Domestic Battery
On August 16, 2007, Minooka Police and Will County State's attorney Jim Glasgow issued an arrest warrant for Brisoce due to a call to local police from the Briscoe home at 419 Rivers Edge Dr. Mayor Brisoce surrendered himself to Minooka police where he was charged with domestic battery and released on a $300 bond.
Shortly after his release Briscoe had no comment. Briscoe and his wife, Melissa, are currently in the middle of a divorce according to court records.
Briscoe's wife, Melissa, said she called police out of fear, and that it was not the first time her husband got "physical" with her,
"I called because he was physical with me," Melissa Briscoe said. "And I feared for my safety, and we're in the process of a divorce." (reference 3 & 4)
In July 2008, Briscoe pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 12 months of court supervision and a $300 fine for the 2007 domestic battery incident. (reference 5)

Famous quotes containing the words arrest and/or domestic:
“One does not arrest Voltaire.”
—Charles De Gaulle (1890–1970)
“Chaucer is fresh and modern still, and no dust settles on his true passages. It lightens along the line, and we are reminded that flowers have bloomed, and birds sung, and hearts beaten in England. Before the earnest gaze of the reader, the rust and moss of time gradually drop off, and the original green life is revealed. He was a homely and domestic man, and did breathe quite as modern men do.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
