Ice Cream Argument Starts After 'Brain Freeze' Use, Complaint Says

A 24-year-old Sussex man on bail for a second drunken driving charge faces additional trouble after being accused of smoking synthetic marijuana and verbally threatening to kill a relative.

Taimur U. Khan was charged Friday in Waukesha County Circuit Court with bail jumping, disorderly conduct and possession of a synthetic cannabinoid. If convicted, he faces up to one year and four months in jail and $12,000 in fines.

The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department deputy was called to a Town of Lisbon home where Khan’s relative told police she found Brain Freeze, a form of synthetic marijuana, on a shelf hidden in a baseball glove on Thursday. When Khan wanted to go to Culver’s around 6:30 p.m., they argued because she wouldn’t let him drive to get ice cream, according to a criminal complaint.

The woman told the deputy Khan was acting drowsy and his speech was slow. She took Khan’s vehicle with a spare key to keep him from driving. She drove around the block a few times, returned home and Khan got in the vehicle. But instead of calming down, she told the deputy, Khan was angry, smoking and hitting his hand on the vehicle, according to the complaint.

Khan pretended to call 911, she told police, and told her he had a gun and that he would kill her. As the woman waited for law enforcement officers to arrive, she realized Khan faked the emergency phone call, according to the complaint.

A man at the home told investigators he saw Khan smoke Brain Freeze out of a pipe earlier that day. Another woman at the home told a deputy she saw Khan with an empty package of brain freeze in one hand and a cigarette in another, according to the complaint.

Before deputies arrived, Khan was giggling in the garage, the second woman told a deputy.

Khan denied smoking Brain Freeze, saying he hadn’t used it since April 5. He also denied pretending to call 911 and threatening his relative. He did admit to yelling during the argument, according to the complaint.
