PEKIN - A Creve Coeur man was charged Friday in Tazewell County Circuit Court with domestic battery after he allegedly beat his girlfriend for refusing to fix him some toast when he awakened in the early morning hours.
Kyle E. Grammer, 48, of 708 Allyn Court, was charged with domestic battery-subsequent offense, a Class 4 felony, court records said.
Police were called to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center early Friday morning in response to a domestic battery case. When police arrived, the victim told officers that her boyfriend had awakened her at 3 a.m. and told her to make him some toast. When the woman refused, Grammer hit her several times in the face and once on the head, court records said.
The mother of the victim told police that when she picked her daughter up to take her to the hospital she could hear Grammer screaming to the victim that she had “better keep her Š mouth shut or he would slap her again,” court records said.
Grammer has a police record of domestic violence. According to court documents, Grammer was found guilty of domestic violence in January and May of 1994.
Grammer remains in custody at the Tazewell County Justice Center on $25,000 bond. Grammer will return to court at 1:30 p.m. on May 8.
