Antoine Pettis smiled for the cameras.
Walking into a Milwaukee court last week, Pettis couldn’t hold back a grin despite being accused of raping a 101-year-old woman.
Pettis, 20, confessed to the crime, according to an interview with police on Friday. He found the Milwaukee intake court cameras, beamed at them, and declared, “Y’all gonna make me a celebrity.”
Court records show that the woman woke up with Pettis in her bedroom. He then allegedly slapped her face repeatedly before he grabbed her wrists and raped her.
Police say that DNA from a paternity test was used to match DNA on the victim’s nightgown.
Pettis has refused to sign the bond agreement that sets his bail at $100,000.
