TOWN OF DELTON – A 13-year-old boy told authorities he shot his father in the back of the head Tuesday after his “balloon of anger” burst, according to court records. The boy, Michael A. Crisafulli, appeared frightened and began to weep Wednesday afternoon after he was led in handcuffs past a crowd of media and into the defendant’s chair in a Sauk County courtroom.

The Sauk County District Attorney’s Office has charged Crisafulli, of the town of Delton, as an adult with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of his father, 55-year-old Angelo D. Crisafulli.

The criminal complaint states the young Crisafulli told an officer he was expelled from school Tuesday and that his father was angry when he picked him up from school. The boy said his father took him to his uncle’s house, where he was made to work on a car axle.

Later that day, at his father’s rural home on Shady Lane Road in the Town of Delton, Crisafulli said he took an “older-type pistol” that had one bullet in it from a gun cabinet. The boy admitted that he used the gun to shoot his father who was laying in a recliner, according to the complaint. Michael stated that his ‘balloon of anger’ finally broke and he shot his father as a result,” stated Sauk County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Michael Stoddard.
