Skateboarding star Terry Kennedy was arrested Tuesday on multiple charges, including threatening to murder police officers.
Cops responded to a call regarding a battery that took place at a motel in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. Kennedy was accused of attacking a male victim and leaving him with a concussion and fractured skull before fleeing the scene.
After law enforcement tracked down and apprehended Kennedy, police claim he became aggressive during the booking process. The skateboarder allegedly threatened to murder cops nine times during the incident and said, "I will kill one of you police. We kill police where I'm from."
Terry Kennedy was eventually booked on aggravated battery in a public place and threatening a public official. He was also charged with violating his bail bond as he was out on bail after an arrest earlier this month.
The 36-year-old remains behind bars although his bail was set at $100,000. His next court date is scheduled for late August.
