A Milwaukee man has been charged with a hate crime for allegedly throwing acid in the face of a Peruvian immigrant while confronting him over a parking spot.

Clifton A. Blackwell, 61, was charged Wednesday with first-degree reckless injury, but prosecutors added two sentencing enhancers that could tack on 10 years to his prison sentence if he’s convicted of first-degree reckless injury — which carries a maximum penalty of 25 years.

Mahud Villalaz, a 42-year-old US citizen who grew up in Peru, told police he was attacked Friday by a man who confronted him near a restaurant about parking too close to a bus stop. Prosecutors claim Blackwell, who is white, then asked Villalaz, “Why did you invade my county?”

After moving his truck, Villalaz returned to the restaurant but Blackwell continued to chastise him, calling him an “illegal” while telling him repeatedly to “go back,” he told police.

Villalaz told investigators he then called Blackwell a racist while shouting an expletive at the man, prompting Blackwell to splash acid in his face from a metal bottle he carried in a satchel, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

“I think I pissed him off because I told him, ‘This is my country. This isn’t your country. Everybody came from somewhere else here,’” Villalaz recalled to WISN.

Police later recovered muriatic acid, four bottles sulfuric acid drain opener and two bottles of lye from Blackwell’s home, the newspaper reports.

Villalaz told reporters on Wednesday that he’s thankful for the outpouring of support he’s received since the attack, which left him with second-degree burns on his face.

“It’s been nice to know that there are many people here that worry about other people,” said Villalaz, who works as a welder. “Not only Latinos … [people] of all colors. We must unite.”

Blackwell, who made his initial court appearance Wednesday, remains held on $20,000 bond, jail records show. Attempts to reach his public defender early Thursday were unsuccessful.

An online fundraiser set up to help offset Villalaz’s medical bills has raised more than $48,000.
