Lawrence, KS – According to the police officials, his name is Robert Brothers Jr. and he allegedly beat the woman repeatedly during two separate incidents in February until she could get away from him in the safety of a Lawrence bank, where the police were contacted.
He allegedly threatened to kill the woman because he believed she had cheated on him and had lied about it.
