VIDEO: A Milwaukee Fire Captain is behind bars after being charged with beating, strangling and stalking his girlfriend. The girlfriend told police she is afraid her boyfriend will kill her after Leon Butts allegedly beat her and said he'd bury her by a shed. Milwaukee Fire Department confirms Leon Butts was a captain. CBS 58 cameras were rolling earlier this month while Butts was on duty teaching local students hands-only CPR. One neighbor said working as a firefighter meant everything to the well respected fire captain.
