Muncie Man Accused of Giving Daughter Beer-The Conversation that Took Place

This is truly what makes me proud of being from Indiana.

Richard Valens, of Muncie, gave his 1 year old son beer. According to the Chicago Tribune, when his girlfriend complained and objected he punched her in the face and said the child could "handle it" because "he's a champ." Then he drove away in her car but not before threatening that he would kill her when he returned. He is currently being held under $17,500 bond. Here's how I imagine the conversation went down.

Richard is driving.

Richard: "Hey hand me a beer!"

Girlfriend: "K." (she reaches in her purse and unleashes one from the plastic entrapment of a six pack)

Richard: "Put it in the baby's bottle."

Girlfriend: "K." She does this and puts the nipple in Richard's mouth. He slaps it away furiously!

Richard: "No b--tch!"

Girlfriend: "But you like that usually."

Richard: "I know. But I'm givin' it to Jimmy."

He puts it in the baby's mouth.

Girlfriend: "Oh."

He pulls over. He punches her in the face.

Richard: "Get out your car. I'm gonna kill you someday. But later when I get back from the bar."

Girlfriend: "I don't think you should do that to Jimmy."

Jimmy burps.

Richard: "He can handle it. He's a champ."

He drives off into the sunset. Girlfriend calls other boyfriend. He's not home. Girlfriend calls police.

Could THIS be the guy's brother?
