Hooker run down after leaving before finishing job

A Madison man infuriated because an alleged hooker left with his money before finishing her work subsequently used his truck to repeatedly ram the Lincoln Town Car she got into and, unfortunately for him, did so while a cop was watching. The end result was that Jose A. Mojica, 33, of Madison, his brother-in-law, Oscar Maldonado, of Montgomery, Ill., and Brenda A. Freilinger, 42, of Madison, all face criminal charges for the early Monday morning incident.

Mojica faces the most serious charges in the batch, including two counts of second degree reckless endangerment, criminal damage to property misdemeanor bail jumping and one count of prostitution. Freilinger, the alleged hooker, faces two counts of prostitution and Maldonado faces one.

All of this began in the early morning Monday when, according to the criminal complaint, Mojica was driving his Ford Explorer with Maldonado as his passenger in the Badger Road area when they saw Freilinger, who agreed to have sex with each man for a total of $100. She began having sex with Maldonado but did not finish, the criminal complaint says, and when she saw a 1993 Lincoln Town car drive up she got out of the truck and into the Lincoln.

Apparently not noticing that Madison Police officer Andre Lewis was on patrol in the same area, Mojica drove his truck into the rear of the Lincoln at the intersection of Badger Road and Cypress Way. The Lincoln turned east onto Badger Road but the truck sped up again and again slammed into the Lincoln, then continued to accelerate and cause the Lincoln to spin out of control.

Officer Lewis pulled over the truck and Mojica told him that “that bitch,” had run away with his $100. “He was angry because she had not performed the services for which they had paid her,” the complaint says.

Major damage was done to the Lincoln, the complaint says, and its driver, Alfred Jackson, and Freilinger, both complained of back and neck pain after the wreck. Mojica was released on a signature bond after an initial court appearance Wednesday, while Maldonado and Freilinger are scheduled for court appearances next week.
