American professional skateboarder Terry Kennedy commonly as TK was arrested Tuesday after he was accused of several heinous crimes, including threatening to murder cops.
UPDATE: Terry Kennedy’s New Mugshot Released, Parole Expected on July 8, 2026
According to TMZ's report, it all started after law enforcement responded to a report of a battery at a motel on July 27 in Oakbrook Terrace, IL.
The 36-year-old was accused of violently attacking a man named Josiah Kassahun also known as 6bolts at the motel leaving the victim with a fractured skull and a concussion and then fleeing the scene.
It was unclear why TK allegedly attacked 6bolts but it was reported that he was eventually taken into custody.
Kennedy faces accusations of aggravated battery in a public place and threatening a public official.
He was also booked on a charge of violating his bail bond after he was reportedly out on bail in relation to a previous arrest earlier this month.
According to reports, the man that Kennedy allegedly assaulted passed away from injuries in the attack. Condolences from Josiah Kassahun's Instagram account poured in.
Sources say that the former Baker skateboards pro was charged with 1st-degree murder and is now facing up to life behind bars if convicted.
