Man Gets 25 Years for Pushing Girlfriend Off Hotel Balcony
July 22, 2024

ST. LOUIS, MO (July 22, 2024) — Cameron Creamer, 33, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for pushing his girlfriend, Tanika Hogans, off the seventh-floor balcony of a St. Louis Holiday Inn in the 5900 block of Wilson Avenue on September 21, 2021. Creamer then put her in his car and dumped her in an alley three miles away.


Hogans was found by paramedics in an alley in the 1500 block of South Theresa Avenue in the city’s Gate District. She was naked, incoherent and unable to move. She suffered a crushed spine, a broken neck and lacerations to her internal organs. The incident left her permanently paralyzed.


Creamer pleaded guilty last week to first-degree domestic assault and kidnapping. At the time of the assault on Hogans, he was on parole in Illinois for robbery. Creamer also has previous convictions for domestic abuse and domestic assault by strangulation.


The case was prosecuted by Domestic Violence/Special Victim Unit Team Leader Jeremy Crowley and Assistant Circuit Attorney Carley Johansson.


“The callousness of this crime by a serial domestic abuser is appalling,” said Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore. “This sentence will prevent him from putting another woman’s life in jeopardy.”
