By BRIAN HUBER Conley News Service MILWAUKEE — Bail was set at $1 million Tuesday for a Milwaukee man accused of drowning his infant son at a family party July 30. Sean Flowers, 25, was charged with first-degree homicide in the drowning death of his 31/2-month-old son, Sean Flowers III, in a pond behind an apartment complex in the 9200 block of North 75th Street last Saturday night. His attorney Danielle Louise Shelton could not be reached for comment by deadline Wednesday. The complaint in the case indicates the family was at a party honoring Flowers' late grandmother on her birth- day Saturday, at which Flowers had been drinking. But when his girlfriend began dancing, Flowers allegedly ranted about her and complained to his uncle she "wants to do all this dancing around the family, but she don't work, she don't want to take care of the kids," the complaint said. Flowers dumped some of the baby's formula in a hall- way, took the baby from another relative holding him and headed for the water behind the apartments. The complaint said Flowers' sis- ter tried to wrestle the child from him, but he punched her in the face. A neighbor heard a woman scream "my baby!" and ran to the scene, chasing Flowers 20 feet into chest- deep water, with Flowers holding his son underwater with one arm and swimming with the other, the complaint said. The neighbor reported Flowers said, "Abraham killed his son Isaac; Jesus will forgive me," the com- plaint said. The neighbor saw the baby's body floating in the water and started to take him back toward land when Flowers took the child from him and swam out even fur- ther, the complaint said. Police officers arrived, gaining control of Flowers after struggling in 8 to 9 feet of water, and tased him after he resisted commands on land. They found the boy's body floating after a few min- utes of searching. The Milwaukee Police Department said the officers received medical attention after swimming in untreated water. Flowers later claimed no memory of the incident, other than police kicking and tasing him afterward. When informed he'd killed his son, Flowers showed no emotion and asked "how much time does that carry?" and talked about not being able to see his family any- more, the complaint said. Online court records indi- cate probable cause was found to let the case proceed toward a preliminary hear- ing set for Aug. 11. If convict- ed of the charge, Flowers faces life in prison.

Post to begin running obituaries They paid workers in cash from which no payroll taxes were withheld and filed false time sheets while keeping a second set of books. They then filed false federal federal taxes, the court records showed. Paul, heading the opera- tion of all the family restau- rants, directed his sister identified in the records as V.A., the manager at El Fuego and El Beso, to set aside $5,000 to 10,000 in cash from the weekly receipts at El Beso into a desk drawer. She was directed to put aside $3,000 in cash from Omega Burger, having Freida Bouraxis pick up the money weekly. Federal agents seized more than $1 million, $100,000 in silver bars, hun- dreds of one-ounce silver pieces, jewelry and gem- stones from a safe at El Beso alone. They found a secret payroll ledger and $70,000 in cash at Paul and Freida Bouraxis's home. Agents also identified several safe deposit boxes at banks in Wisconsin and northern Illinois, seizing $282,000 in currency in a safe deposit in Andreas Bouraxis's name and $300,000 in currency in a box in the names of Freida and Andreas Bouraxis, the court records showed. During the searches, agents found third-party loans made by Paul and Andreas Bouraxis, which showed Paul received $370,000 in interest payments and Andreas took in $20,000. From 2007-2010, the defen- dants skimmed more than $1.2 million, or 21 percent, of the gross receipts from Omega Burger and almost $1.9 million, or 24 percent, from El Fuego, the court records showed. As a result, they failed to report about $450,000 in income from Omega Burger and about $635,000 from El Fuego. The unreported and unpaid income taxes in just 2010 were $168,047 for Paul and Freida Bouraxis and $206,454 for Andreas Bouraxis, the records showed. The tax loss from Omega Burger, El Fuego and El Beso came to $989,518, according to court records. In their plea agreements, the defendants will forfeit $442,000 from the seized funds and the remaining seized cash and proceeds from selling the precious metals and jewelry will be applied to their tax obliga- tions.
