According to the arrest report, officers responded to a home for a wellness check. The wellness check was for Haake’s wife.
The victim told police that Haake turned off her and their children’s phones and hid their passports so they couldn’t leave for vacation. Haake then allegedly told the victim he would call in a kidnapping if she took the kids on vacation.
According to the arrest report, officers said Haake was “clearly intoxicated, and being uncooperative.” Officers witnessed Haake lock the victim out of the house and push her out of a window when she tried to get back inside the residence.
