Des Plaines Man Punched Dog, Charged with Cruelty

The following arrest information was supplied by the Des Plaines Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.

 

Des Plaines, IL -- A man was charged with aggravated cruelty after multiple witnesses reported seeing him punch a brown dog in front of his Des Plaines residence on June 7, Des Plaines police said on Friday.

A witness reported seeing a man with long white hair in the front yard, pinning a dog on the ground and punching it.

Earlier: Bottle of liquor stolen, cash stolen at Laundromat, more.

When police arrived they found blood on the porch and front door.

James Robert Wesolaski, 51, answered the door, and police stated Wesolaski appeared intoxicated and acted hostile toward the officers. According to the report, Wesolaski was bleeding from dog bite wounds on his hands and face.

Wesolaski told police he got into a fight with his dog because it ran out the front door, and he said, “I’m done being nice.”

Police placed Wesolaski in handcuffs and took three dogs into custody, including the brown injured dog.

One witness told police, according to the police report, seeing Wesolaski straddling the dog and punching it. The dog yelped, and he picked “the dog up by the scruff of its neck and took it inside.”

Another witness told police, while driving by the scene on Wolf Road, Wesolaski was seen punching the dog “four or five times as hard as he could.”

The three dogs were transported to Northwest Animal Hospital for treatment. An employee of Northwest Animal Hospital, who asked not to be identified, said the injured dog was alive and “doing fine.”

Wesolaski refused treatment.

Police stated employees of the animal hospital reported the dog was seriously injured. It had swollen eyes, which were bleeding from trauma and head injuries. Also, the capillaries in the dog’s eyes were broken, which indicated the dog was choked.

Wesolaski told police, according to the report, he was having a bad day and punched the dog because it escaped the house.

Wesolaski was charged with a felony, aggravated cruelty, and given a court date of June 19.

AL Sanchez, quit making excuses, this is a grown man. That whats wrong with the united states right now. nobody wants to take respondablity for their actions, alsways some kind of excuse. he deserves to be punished to the full extent of the law. And shame on you for defending him, Good people defend the helpless ,not the evil.

Mr. Sanchez....I am not a Peta person as you called someone on here but I will tell you what I am...I am an animal lover.... and therefore would love to ask you a question! How would like it it if this guy were punching one of your loved ones in the face because he had a Bad Day??? Or better yet choking them till the capillaries in their eyes were broken??? I think not even though your comments on how others feel are STUPID!!!! Yours are even worse and maybe when we meet our Maker He will decide!

F-ing creep! Hope they lock his drunk behind up for the longest time and forbid him from having a hamster much less dogs! I hope somebody adopts these poor animals who are use to being treated badly! He doesn't deserve them. I pray somebody in Texas steps up and gives these badly treated animals the love and respect they deserve.

Well. Police do this to young black men all the time, and not only do they punch them they beat the mess out of them with their billy clubs and kick them, all at the same time because so many of them are all over the poor victim!! So maybe this guy thought he was a police officer and was practicing on the dog. You people kill me when a man does something to an animal you get all upset. But yet you can see another cop beating the crap out of a person and nothing is said. So where's the humanity???

However, if you were in that guy's shoes, would you not want forgiveness, and mercy? We have all done things which we "should" be shot for...'nuff said

This man is a total loser... there is no reason to be violent with anyone or anything, Mr Sanchez. The dog is helpless in defending himself, as are children and the elderly. The only thing that these people should get that are violent are tied to a tree and let the public do the same to them. That's how you address his reason for his anger and hostility Mr. Sanchez. Beating animals, kids, women etc, probably makes this loser feel like a man....

OK, Mr Sanchez, we all deserve forgiveness, but repentance is required first. And our first responsibility is to protect the vulnerable, voiceless and dependent members of society, which includes animals and children. There is a clear link with animal cruelty and child abuse. And this is animal abuse coupled with anger management issues and substance abuse. Society needs to be protected from him. Should he really be allowed to own these dogs or any other animal with all his known problems or free to roam the streets if and when he gets 'mad' again?

Trudy Buk...... Here we go with the race-card... already. Trudy, the difference is pretty simple. Usually a dog or animal either doesn't understand or was not taught properly and they are unfortunately "punished" for this. It depends on how the "animal" is raised. It doesn't sound as though these "animals" had a good teacher. Hence the phrases "treated like an animal" and "beat like a dog" are usually coined.....

Any man who chokes a dog and punches it because it "got out of the house" certainly did not learn any lessons. First of all, the dog just did what dogs will do...run. It is the OWNER'S fault for not training him.Secondly, what if his two-year old daughter was the only one around when he was intoxicated? This man has serious problems, and serious problems DO NOT justify hurting someone or something else,just because you are having a "bad day". Try NOT DRINKING! What a moronic reprobate. I hope they NEVER return that poor dog to him.

If he did this outside I can't imagine what he does behind closed Doors. I hope he gets Fined Out the Ying Yang and has to do tons of community work with animals or maybe Criminals being hes No Better!

Hey, Al Sanchez…..why don’t YOU waste YOUR time figuring out what the causes are for this "poor, innocent" guy's anger issues? I couldn’t care less, and frankly I’m sick to death of people who think we should give a damn about them and go easy on them for beating up on other people and animals who have nothing to do with their own personal problems. They are adults who make their own choices for their own actions. If you can’t see the danger in someone like this being out around other people, you’re nuts. Lots of people have causes to be angry, but they choose to control themselves. This guy is a loaded cannon, probably always has been and likely always will be. People don’t change unless they truly see the error of their ways and want to change. I doubt this one will, and if the SPCA has some backbone, they'll keep this animal far away from his off the wall owner.

I'm beginning to wonder if AL SANCHEZ punches his own dog when he gets angry. Sure sounds like it. Abusers always defend abusers. Hey Al, if some guy 3 times your size was "having a bad day" or had been abused as a child and punched YOU multiple times, causing the injury to you that this guy did that poor dog, would you be so quick to "forgive and forget?" There is NO EXCUSE for adults doing that crap. I don't care WHAT kind of childhood they had. Let this guy take anger management classes in prison!

Are you the same Vickie who said they were a shrink and then used the word "your" when "you're" was the correct contraction? A "shrink" is a colloquialism for a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD) with a speciality in psychiatry. Are you trying to say that you've spent more than 14 years in college, residency and, one would assume, practice, and not know the difference between, or where to correctly use, "your" and "you're?" Yeah, right, snort, chuckle, LOL. LMFAO.

YES HE IS AN ASSHOLE!! No question about that people but, this idea that the "DOG" was DENSELESS is BULL! The owner (I use the term loosely) was using a technique animals have used for centuries in the wild which is called "Pack Leader mentality" on the dog. I say again; "THE OWNER IS AN ASSHOLE" for beating on the dog like he did but, to the dog it was him maintaining dominance in the family pack. Remember the owner had two other dogs as well, and should that dog had come into contact with ANYONE else other than him this story would have been entitled "Man gets mauled to DEATH by family pet"! All I'm saying is that the owner is an ASSHOLE and far far from defenseless.

Hey Hank Jones - Beating on a dog does NOT make them behave" it makes them fearful and agressive. Your "pack leader mentality" and comtrol dogs by forceful dominance theory was an old wives tale and disproven 25 years ago. Dog's get along in packs by showing deference using body language, not fighting, force or violence. Dominating a dog with brutality or pain teaches avoidance, does not teach them what you want them to do. Please do some research on dog behavior and training before you support outdated and inhumane non-sense about how dogs behave.

I am a professional dog trainer, leadership is important, but respect is earned by communication, consistancy and trust. Only dictators and prison guards control with threats of violence.

When this drunk came home the dog ran out of the house because the dog knew that he was going to get the hell beat out of him inside the house without a witness in sight. Just imagine what the other dog have gone through while in the house . Evidently the brown dog was abuse moreso than the others and he tried to escape...dogs are not stupid, they're just obedient to their masters. I guess this dog had taken enough punishment from this drunk so he needed outside evidence. He wanted other people to know what was going on. I hope this man faces jail time. I remember when I was much younger and I was walking from school, I saw a drunk man come out of his house and grab his dog that was sitting on the front porch and began beating it until the dog got got away and ran under the house. I saw this scene take place with my own eyes. Just think how many animals are being abused by idots like this. I hope that this man serves time in prison...big time.

Someone who is so violent toward an animal is ciolent toward ALL creatures (including people). there should be stronger penalties for animal abuse. I am an animal lover, so obviously stories like this anger me and I want to see this man brought to justice (My idea of justice for him would be a similar beating, but let me stay on point). If this man is given a slap on the hand and released, I guarantee that he will repeat this behavior. Next time it may be a child or someone older and weaker than him. People with his type of problem do not get better without intervention. They just become worse until they kill someone. Unfortunately, mental health is not a priority in this country (Or any country really), so nothing of note will happen and he will go one to abuse others until he finally either meets the wrong person or he succumbs to his own self destructive behavior.

Quit using the excuse that he was abused as a child. Everybody uses that excuse these days. Nobody takes responsibility for their actions these days. The SOB is an adult and should know better. He knew that abuse was wrong when he was a kid so what makes him think it's right now that he's an adult. String him up!!!!

Listen people the only reason I made the comment in the first place is because I happen to know him and I know for a fact that this isn't his first dance with the law. My point is that instead of bonding habitual offenders out and giving court date after court date after court date, and knowing their past records, perhaps a little jail time would be more fitting. A person who does the same offenses time after time, and not just on animals mind you (another fact) should not be allowed to roam our streets for a while. My only point and now im done.

It seems to me that perhaps you have had occasion to hit an animal.....could that be why you think rehabilitation is the right way to go? Are you in rehab right now? Gee it sure sounds like it with the pat junk you're spewing. Go crawl under the rock you came from......we have no room in our minds or hearts for people like yourself who do not possess them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think Mr. Sanchez is condoning what the man did to the dog, I think he finds it equally apalling but is looking for a realistic LONG TERM remedy, however, I think at his age, the man is probably too far gone and his issues are too deep to remove, so pardon the pun, but you really can't "teach an old dog, new tricks" and I have to agree with the majority here...

Do you people hear yourselves? The comments about what should be done with this guy are as bad as he is. A felony to me is a little strong, take the animals away and put in a shelter or something. The post on here show that most of you are no better than he is and I know a bunch of you have a higher regard for animals than humans which shows a lot of psychological problems with you. A psychiatrist ccould have a field day evaluating most of these post

I have animals and they are like my kids to me. And, yes, I do have a higher regard for them than some humans I know. I would do anything to protect them from of person like this. You can take away his animals, but what will he take his anger out on next - maybe some neighborhood child. This man needs serious help and I would prefer that he's locked up while he gets it. Personally, I don't think he can be fixed.

Speaking for myself, I don't hold animals higher than humans, just higher than a human such as this man. People should not be given carte blanche. He is what is wrong with our species. People like him (abusive, out of control) are what is wrong with the world. So, if removing him, and other like him, from society makes our world a better place, why is that so wrong?

Defending the person who is unkind and abusive and inventing excuses for their atrocious behavior just tells me what his lowly standards are... Maybe he should contact the abuser and they get a room together and be best friends and get drunk together...Who knows , maybe the world will get lucky and they will get in a carwreck on the way home and drive off a bridge ...feeling helplessly trapped, while fighting for their lives, just like that poor dog felt.

It's about time that the authories take animal abuse seriously. Our pets depend on us for food, water, comfort, and a safe place to live. In return they give us unconditonal love. always happy to see you when you come home. Just because you're having a bad day, or the pet does something you don't like, doesn't mean you need to beat them. I so glad to see that there are people out there who care, and are willing to step in. Abuse is abuse, no matter if your a human or an animal, Our pets feel pain, just as we do. Should this person be allowed to have another animal, I say no.But you can guarentee that he probally will have more, because the system is not set up to monitor animal abusers. Will this man learn his lesson, probablly not, all hes gonna see is this dog cost him jail time, and fines. which when he has another bad day, might just trigger another beating to some poor denfenseless animal.Just because he can, and then he wont be able to fiqure out why this pet has turn mean, or will run every chance it gets.What we can do an human beings is make the public more aware of animal abuse, have our congressmen ( women) , aldermen, police create laws to protect the animals.

As someone who's still mourning the loss of his best friend and companion of 16 years, a Siberian husky who died three years ago and never put a hand on the dog, I am pleased to see such strong sentiments from fellow animal lovers (except by the guy who wants to make good use of his gun) in condemning what this coward did to a helpless animal. But I can't help wondering while people are so sensitive about pet abuse, why are they deafeningly silent about the horrifying mistreatment and barbaric ways in which other animals (cattle, pigs, chickens.....) face every day.

Animals are the most INTUNED creatures . They since DANGER before any human can pick up on it . They know when bad weather is coming long before we see the signs . Watch them . I was sitting outside one day and this bird had a nest in a small tree . The bird chirp non stop an seemed very upset . It flew to my chair , back and fourth to the tree . I said to myself this bird sinces danger , WHAT IS IT , I walked over to to small low grounded tree and in the bushes around the tree was a CAT hiding to get to the nest . I picked up the cat and took it to the owner. The bird came back to my chair and cherped a different tone and flew to her nest and was at peace. Animals sinces a evil person as much as they since a loving person and will let you know who they like and dosnt like before any one can see or since any bad in a person .

If I was the judge in this case, this man would be put under the jail instead of in jail. He deserves the highest punishment possible because animals are innocent and depend on us for their care and protection and love. If you are not an animal lover than the negative commentors on here have nothing to say other than they don't care for or love animals and that is your privilege not to like an animal but to harm an animal is so wrong and punishment should be to the fullest and under the jail for a long time and being treated less than human is my recommendation because that is what he deserves. He should never ever again own an animal because he is less than an animal and should get what he gives out and I hope is will be punished to the fullest. I love animals and all animals give unconditional love for real!

Why should your regard be any less for animals than it is for humans. I strongly believe that the laws that apply to humans for abuse of any kind should equally apply to humans who abuse animals. People who abuse others as well as animals have deep unresolved issues, but in no way should they get away without paying the consequences for both and the consequences should be equal. For those that abuse children and animals, I would love them to be put away for ever, but unfortunately our laws do not relegate that. I don't want those people inhabiting the earth ever again.

Like maybe those are the excuses you use. This MAN, and I use the term lightly, needs to go to jail for a good period of time. Until, at least, his mental problems are under control. And whatever happens to him during his stay, will be his problem and maybe it will teach him a lesson. Maybe a 6'4, 250lb Bubba will show him what it's like to be on the other side.

Mary Beth, mercy and compassion are saved for the ones who really deserve it. How does a man, a grown up adult, who hurts something that he can beat the hell out of, yet will still come to him an hour later because of love and loyalty, deserve mercy or compassion? There are way too many people who have suffered unspeakable things. I have a student who was locked in an attic and forced to escape and eat garbage in the cold of night to survive while his mother was more concerned with her lover. He is smart beyond belief, he is kind beyond comprehension, and he is sensitive and gentle to the smallest of things, even spiders. He is 13 and he had chosen a higher ground than the one laid before him before he was taken from his piece of crap mother. I have little sympathy for people who are old enough to make choices and choose to be cruel, inane, criminal and contribute nothing to society. This guy needs to burn in hell for what he did, and whether you believe in hell or you believe in evolution, animals were here first, and that position on our planet deserves respect. Ghandi says that society will be judged by how its animals are treated. Those of you defending this man, think about that for a minute.

This man is my next door neighbor and this is the third time the cops have come to their house in the past 4 months. The dogs do not belong to him, they belong to one of the women he lives with, who actually cares deeply for them. All of the issues that have happened at that house have been HIS FAULT. I hear him throwing up on the side of the house almost everyday from drinking so much and he continuously screams at everyone and throws things around. This man should never be allowed back into that home, he should be in jail. He has been brought out on a stretcher with blood all over him and IN HANDCUFFS. I can promise you, the dogs have not been the only ones who have been taking his abuse. I saw the dog being taken away by the police, and the poor thing looked like it was on deaths door. I agree that he probably has past issues that cause him to drink and become abusive, but he has never gotten any sort of help, and that's why I have absolutely no sympathy for him.

i hav a close friend who is an alcoholic in addition to all i come in contact with at my jobs for the past 8 years. i am helpless to stop him. he does not want help and has been like this for as long as i have known him which is since 1997. i dont think he will live much longer the way he drinks, and yes he has several arrests as well. he has never hurt anyone or an animal. if i had ever witnessed him doing such i would have him put somewhere behind locked doors so fast his head would spin and i think he knows it. if he wants to drink himself to death thats his business and he is a grown man refusing all help but he keeps it to himself and does not harm anyone or anything. i would be afraid if i were you that your dad might someday pull a weapon on someone and kill them or get killed by a cop. if it were me i would be very afraid. with my buddy's situation, if he ever gets to that point that he harms someone or something, i unfortunately will not be able to just sit by and watch. i will see t it that he is removed from the situation.

and as for comments on here, hurting animals is a very emotional topic. same as hurting children. people (myself included) are quick to say things and get very very emotional. i think i can speak for many on here when i say that we all feel that people that do these things are a danger to society and steps need to be taken.

if you really are the son and not just BS-ing us all, i would love to keep the chat going. you may not like everything i say but you and your siblings have tough decisions to make, after the court proceedings are over. i am still very angry and upset as all on here about what happened, but i am angry because i feel that at this late stage in the game he should not have been alone in a position to hurt anything or anyone. i have looked at public records and saw that there was a past incident with the police and some apparent resisting arrest and violence or whatever it was. it should not have come to this, period. i read something on here about one of the women he lives with owning the dogs so then she is also to blame. if she knows him and truly cares for her dogs she would not have put them in that position. period. same as with children. detox can be done and they have marvelous drugs to stop the tremors, etc. but you kids need to step in an quite possibly one of you needs to become the POA. that should have been done long ago and i speak from personal experience as well as work related.

i cannot speak for everyone on here commenting, but believe me i read ALL comments and ALL the articles and did look at public records before commenting. my anger comes from the fact that this is not a new development and obviously something should have been done at some point to prevent this most recent occurance. i personally am not an idiot, at least i think i am fairly smart and i can see through BS so to come on here and jump right in calling people a-holes as you did and defending the suspect as ashley did is not going to fly with me. this is obviously an ongoing problem and i think many people also can see that and that is where alot of anger comes from. people are fed up with alot in the world and unfortunately his actions this time around hit on a hot topic that also made the news. people lose sympathy when its repeated stuff and when its someone refusing help and continuing to be a danger to others at the same time, if you get my drift. this was a horrible thing that occured and is impossible to have forgiven as a first offense let alone from someone who has chronic issues going on with refusal for help. when it gets to this point, when the public is concerned, now you have a riot starting. sorry, just calling it as i see it day to day and also from my own personal feelings.

this is not an easy thing to kick. you guys need to take over before its too late. there is one particular patient that goes to an ER at least once a month claiming to want to detox. she gets admitted and then refuses to continue. recently she got admitted and went to a room and just 2 hrs later, got dressed and said she was leaving to go get drunk and take her own pills at home. time and time again i see people fail at it but one thing i notice is that they have no family and/or friends around that care to help. this particular lady is motivated by her desire for IV pain meds but she has no desire to ever stop drinking as she plots to have people sneak stuff to her. but anyway, get deeply involved and get a POA and start making the tough decisions that he has been unable to make up to this point. a good facility can get him through the tough part.
