Kenosha, Wisconsin - The Kenosha Police Department confirmed that two men are facing 4 misdemeanor charges each in connection with a video posted on social media (Facebook) by one of the suspects showing a NH Auto salesman urinating on a Black women's Wisconsin driver license while the other salesman video recorded the act on social media on February 26, 2023.

The suspects, Zachery E. Brugioni, 26, and Bryan R. Slaven, 26, both White, who were identified by the 22-year-old Black victim are facing multiple misdemeanor counts each for criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct, theft and unlawful use of computerized communications.

The Kenosha Police Department referred misdemeanor charges against Brugioni and Slaven on March 1, 2023 to the Kenosha County District Attorney's Office.

Brugioni and Slaven each face up to 9 months in jail and up to $10,000 in fines for criminal damage to property; up to 90 days in jail and up to $1,000 in fines for disorderly conduct; up to 9 months in jail and up to $10,000 in fines for theft and up to 90 days in jail and up to $1,000 in fines for unlawful use of computerized communications.

The victim, Leah E. Jefferson, 22, of Waukesha identified the two NH Auto salesmen on her Facebook account as Brugioni, who urinated on her license and Slaven, who damaged (folded) her license and video recorded Brugioni urinating the license behind the metal bumper of a pick up truck.

Kenosha police served a warrant at the NH Auto Sales, 9000 Sheridan Rd. in Kenosha and recovered Jefferson's license.

On Saturday, February 25, 2023, Jefferson went to test drive a 2004 Honda Civic, which she decided not to buy it. She mistakenly left her driver's license at the NH Auto Sales. 

That's when Brugioni and Slaven decided to damage and urinate on her license, simply because she decided not to buy the Honda Civic from NH Auto Sales.

Their urinating video began to circulate on Facebook. Jefferson was contacted by some Facebook users letting her know of the posted video.

Jefferson has hired Attorney William Sulton from Milwaukee who confirmed that he will be filing a lawsuit against Brugioni, Slaven and the NH Auto Sales located in Kenosha.
