So this is clearly turning into a Thursday post. Sorry about that, but some of the reports aren't updated until sometime on Wednesday.
Anywhoozles, here we go!
Some of this week's best come to us from some very special ladies...
A woman, age and residence not released, was arrested for fraud after
attempting to have a fraudulent prescription filled at Walgreens, 6020
W. Brown Deer Road, at 9 p.m. May 23. She said the prescription for
Promethazine with codeine cough syrup was for her nephew. This cough
syrup is often mixed with Mountain Dew or Sprite to make "Purple Drank" a
drink that causes people to get high.
Your nephew. Right. Seems legit.
A woman, age and residence not released, was arrested for disorderly
conduct after yelling and using profanities at Great Clips, 8689 N. Port
Washington Road, at 4:50 p.m. May 23. The woman was angry, she said,
because she couldn't get "a perm." She frightened other customers and
two young children who were in the salon. She drove away but was
stopped.
Honestly, they were just trying to save her from herself...
A woman, age and residence not released, was arrested for disorderly
conduct after yelling and using profanities while in the drive-thru and
inside McDonald's, 8737 N. Port Washington Road, at 2 p.m. May 26. The
woman was in the drive-thru while on the phone and when asked either to
order or move on yelled "Shut the (expletive) up" to the employee. She
then parked her car and went inside where she continued yelling. When
another employee asked her to be quiet she said, "I'm a grown person and
can speak how I (expletive) want."
What the (expletive), man? This is a grown (expletive) person! How dare you ask her to be quiet, you (expletive)!
A woman, age and residence not released, was cited for disorderly
conduct in the 1100 block of East Capitol Drive at 10:15 p.m. May 26.
The woman, riding her bicycle on the sidewalk, stopped and started
yelling profanities and making obscene gestures.
While it was probably the profanity and obscene gestures that did her in, I think Hubby might argue that worst part of this crime was that she was riding on the sidewalk.
An officer who pulled a vehicle over after observing it had only three
functioning tires and was smoking from under the hood arrested the
female driver for drunken driving on Main Street and Pilgrim Road at
4:22 a.m. May 29. After taking the woman into custody, the officer found
two lorazepam tablets in her possession and she was also arrested for
possession of illegally obtained prescription medication. Her blood
alcohol content was unavailable.
All kinds of special. ALL kinds.
Now, don't worry, fellas. We've got some for you, too!
A man, age and residence not released, was arrested for disorderly
conduct after yelling profanities inside Kopp's, 5373 N. Port Washington
Road, at 4:30 p.m. June 1. The man became angry when he tried to order a
shake and was told he had to get into another line. He then yelled and
screamed with children present and also threatened an employee. He fled
on a motor scooter but was stopped telling police he had "anger issues."
Though they seem fun, and it might sound like a good idea at the time, remember that motor scooters don't make good getaway vehicles. (Though in his defense, if I'd already stood in line and then got told I had to stand in another line just to get my damn shake, I'd be pretty pissed off, too.)
Two unidentified people took several bushes from Aldi, 4615 W. Layton Ave., on May 28 and drove off.
Two weeks ago it was trees and dirt. Last week it was gardening tools. Now it's bushes. Someone's going to have a lovely evil lair when all is said and done!
A man was arrested for aggravated battery at a home in the 7200 block of
South Shepard Avenue after he threw a pair of grass shears at a woman,
causing a 2.5-inch cut on her left wrist and a 1-inch cut on her left
thumb that required stitches at 8:40 a.m. May 27. The man was angry
because the woman told him to clean up food he had left on a patio deck.
That's a totally normal reaction, right? No? Shit... I've been going about things all wrong then!
A resident at an apartment building at 2613 University Drive called
police at 4:47 p.m. May 29 to say his neighbor took his dog's feces from
the woods near the complex and put it on his doorstep with a note
stating clean up after your dog. The caller said he feels he does not
need to clean up the feces because he hasn't for three years and thinks
his neighbor is harassing him. Police advised him he does need to clean
up after his dog. The neighbor was advised on leaving feces and profane
notes.
Admitting you haven't been cleaning up your dog's shit for the past 3 years isn't the best way to start your defense. Honesty is a good policy, but silence is also golden...
And my favorite one this week:
A resident reported that a couch she had put outside her home for anyone
to take was sitting in Greenlawn Park, in the 7700 block of South
Howell Avenue, at 12:50 p.m. May 26. An officer spoke to a man who was
sleeping on the couch, who said he didn't think anyone wanted the couch
and decided to take it to the park to take a nap. The couch was moved
back to the residence so it could be picked up by the Street Department.
It was there for the taking! No one specified WHERE to take it, right? The guy wanted a nap and there was a free couch; who wouldn't take advantage of that sweet deal?!

Crime Time: S-M-R-T
Because of the long weekend, some of the reports are still behind, so forgive me if this week's post is a little lacking.
A car with two passengers and Hello Kitty stickers on the back windows was observed pulling up and taking mail from a mailbox in the 17000 block of Martha Drive at 11:16 a.m. May 21.
Damn that Hello Kitty! She's clearly a bad influence.
Gardening tools and gloves were stolen from an open garage in the 3700 block of West Dory Drive between 1:45 p.m. and 3 p.m. May 20.
At least they were smart enough to steal the gloves, too. Clearly they have some serious gardening to get done!
Police are seeking a 33-year-old woman who shoplifted a total of $54 worth of groceries at Pick 'n Save, 7780 S. Lovers Lane Road, on three separate occasions between April 23 and May 4. The suspect was identified by her Advantage Card, which she swiped in the self-checkout lanes during each incident.
As a general rule, if you're planning to steal shit, you probably don't need to use your savings card.
Two 69-year-old Franklin men were arrested for disorderly conduct after they had a physical altercation in the 6800 block of South 109th Street at about 11 a.m. May 21. One of the men struck the other in the face with binoculars, and a scuffle ensued, resulting in both men sustaining minor injuries.
This sounds like an awesome sitcom waiting to happen. FOX, I'm looking at you...
A resident in the 5300 block of South 43rd Street called police at 12:10 p.m. May 24 to report she saw a bobcat in her yard during the past several nights. Police responded and saw no evidence of a bobcat in the resident's yard.
I live right around here, and the only bobcat you're likely to see is this kind. (Or possibly this kind, but even that's a long-shot.)
An officer who stopped to assist a disabled vehicle at 108th Street and Edgerton Avenue at 6:30 a.m. May 25 discovered the vehicle was not disabled but that the driver had stopped her car because she was deathly afraid of spiders and believed one was crawling on her hand. The officer assisted the driver by checking for spiders in the vehicle and she was sent on her way.
This sounds like something I would do. Actually, funny/true story for you all. When Hubby and I first started hanging out, we were driving around when a spider dropped down near him. He flipped his shit a little (who wouldn't?) and flung it out the window as fast as he could. That's when I knew I liked him. :)
A 21-year-old Palmyra man was arrested for drunken driving, possession of drug paraphernalia, open intoxicants, suspended registration, not carrying a driver's license, failure to have insurance and unsafe lane deviation in the 14400 block of Interstate 43 at 6:10 a.m. May 19. The man failed to stop for more than 10 minutes while he was followed by a squad car. An open bottle of rum was found in the car along with a pipe and jar both with marijuana residue and an orange pill which is being tested. The man, who admitted the marijuana and paraphernalia were his, said he was "just a pot head." He also told police he had just purchased the pipe and asked if he could have it back. His blood alcohol content was 0.14.
Telling the cops you're "just a pot head" is probably not the best defense after you've been driving under the influence without your license or insurance (and while having a suspended registration), but points for the attempt to get the newly purchased pipe back. I mean, it's never gonna happen, but I like the effort. Go big or go to jail. Or both.
A 76 year-old man and a 73-old woman both of Mequon were cited for disorderly conduct at an apartment complex in the 10800 block of North Port Washington Road about noon May 22. The man said the woman insulted him, saying he needed a bath and should cut his dog's toenails. The woman said he pushed and grabbed her. After they were cited, they were told not to talk to each other. However, later that day about 5 p.m. the man reportedly spoke to the woman and was issued another citation.
Telling someone they need a bath is a legitimate insult, but that his dog's toenails needed to be cut? Leave the dog out of this, ma'am.
Officers responded to Mainstay Suites, 1001 W. College Ave., after the front desk clerk reported there was a woman in the parking lot who was too drunk to walk at 4:55 a.m. May 18. While officers were enroute to the hotel, the clerk called back and stated that a man just wheeled the woman through the lobby on a luggage cart and went into the elevator. An officer spoke to the man, who stated the woman was too heavy to lift without assistance, so he used a luggage trolley to take her back to the room. The man also told police he had taken the woman to senior prom in 1964 and was reuniting with her for the weekend.
Awww, how... sweet?
Police were dispatched to 725 American Ave. at 3:58 p.m. May 21 on a report of a suspicious package in the parking structure. It turned out to be an abandoned coffeemaker.
Yep. That happened. *facepalm*
A woman called police after someone tried using her debit card in Israel on May 13. She gave her information to set up what she thought would be a new AOL account but was on a site posing as AOL.
"New" and "AOL" shouldn't appear in any sentence together. At least, not since 1995.

Crime Time: Dirt, Shit & Spit
A day late, I know, but hopefully you'll forgive me. :)
An egg was found smashed inside a mailbox in the 9200 block of North Waverley Drive at 11:30 a.m. May 19. No damage was reported.
No damage?? That poor egg is totaled! Have you no heart?
A man was arrested for physical abuse of a child and that child, a male juvenile, ages and residences not released, for disorderly conduct after they got into a fight during a basketball game at Fairy Chasm Park, 5712 Fairy Chasm Road, at 5:15 p.m. April 24. The fight started when the boy blocked the man's shot and then the two began to "trash talk." No major injuries were reported.
When I first started reading this one, I went, "Oh shit, physical abuse of a child... How awful!" And then after reading I was like, well... Maaaaaaybe he had it coming.*
Six boxes of shrimp valued at $180 were taken from Na Na Asian Fusion & Sushi Bar, 4511 N. Oakland Ave., at 3 p.m. May 10. The suspect was a male, about 6-feet tall who entered through a rear door and left with the shrimp.
Poor shrimp. They were just prawns in his game.
A resident called police after picking up "several pieces of dog feces" from a yard in the 2600 block of East Edgewood Avenue at 7 p.m. May 12. The resident asked the police to do a DNA test so the dog could be located.
While I understand being upset about the dog shit, asking for a DNA test is not a normal reaction. I'd have set up a camera to see whose dog it was. Then I'd put the shit in a box. Then I'd put that box inside of another box and mail it to myself. And when it arrived, I'd smash it with a hammer! Wait, no. That doesn't get me anywhere good. Scratch that. I'd put it in a bag, set it on fire and leave it at the jackass's house. Much better.
Eleven 55-gallon drums filled with dirt were taken from Burger King, 4555 W. Forest Home Ave., between May 8 and May 14.
Now how will they make their Whoppers?!
An intoxicated male was lying on the ground after he walked into a tree and fell down at 76th Street and Cold Spring Road at 2:30 a.m. May 19. His girlfriend arrived at the scene and picked him up.
He's lucky his girlfriend is so nice. I'd have taken pictures and called him George of the Jungle. At minimum.
A 24-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested for drunken driving, with a prior conviction, driving with a revoked license, also with a prior conviction, a warrant, refusal to take a breath test and driving west in an eastbound lane on Mequon Road at River Road at 2:15 a.m. May 15. He told police he had not been drinking and was on his way "to my crib." His preliminary blood alcohol content was 0.279, and after a judge issued a warrant he was taken for a blood draw.
I think this one largely speaks for itself. Moving on.
A small blue spruce tree was stolen from a residential property in the 2600 block of East Oakwood Road between 3:30 p.m. May 14 and 3:30 p.m. May 15. This is the second occurrence of tree theft at the residence in less than one week.
Let me see if I understand this. Someone is coming into this yard and stealing trees, right? So, either they're digging large enough holes to pull the trees out of the ground whole, or they're chopping them down... And no one has witnessed this? Seems shady to me.
Police and firefighters responded to a fire alarm at Tanglewood Apartments, 1785 W. Meyer Lane, at 5:43 a.m. May 16. An officer spoke to a resident who stated his wife accidentally triggered the alarm as she attempted to hit a cockroach that was climbing up the wall near the fire alarm. An officer spoke with the manager, and he confirmed there was a problem with bugs at the building.
For the record, Hubby and I used to live at Tanglewood. All I can say is ewwwwwwwwwwww!
A woman was arrested for spitting in the face of an employee of Hot Topic at Mayfair, 2500 N. Mayfair Road, at 8:53 May 14. She said she was mad at the employee for calling her "ghetto."
In the woman's defense, the employee really shouldn't be insulting customers. In the employee's defense, she was probably pretty ghetto.
And now, because springtime = animals being crazy...
Police responded to a report of a large turtle in the street on Freistadt Road and River Lane at 10:50 a.m. May 14. The turtle was pushed into the ditch so that regular traffic could resume.
That must've been a big ass turtle. I mean, if I was in the middle of the street, I don't think it would stop traffic...
A resident in the W143 N9600 block of Amber Drive called police after she found a yellow and black snake in her front yard at 11:55 a.m. May 15. Upon arrival, the responding officer observed a large grass snake, about 21/2 to 3 feet in length, disappear under a group of bushes. The officer advised the resident to call an exterminator or purchase snake repellent.
Is snake repellent a thing? (A Google search indicates that yes, apparently it is.)
A boa constrictor was found in the front yard of a residence in the 12000 block of West Layton Avenue about 11:30 a.m. May 15. By the time police arrived, the resident had the snake in a bag, which officers took to the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Center.
Sir/Ma'am, I'm not sure how you managed to get the boa in the bag... But well done. Well fucking done.
*I say this only because I imagine it's probably an 18-20 year old who hit a 16 year old, you know? More than likely, it's not like some parent was beating the crap out of their 5 year old... Nothing funny about that shit.
An egg was found smashed inside a mailbox in the 9200 block of North Waverley Drive at 11:30 a.m. May 19. No damage was reported.

Wednesday Crime Time: Gone to the Animals
Happy Hump Day! Here we go!
A Shorewood man, age not released, was warned for dogs at large after a woman called police to report his two schnauzers "came at her" as she walked in the 4500 block of North Wilson Drive at 1 p.m. May 7. She told him his dogs should be on a leash and he told her, "You need to be on a leash." He later apologized.
Personally, I'd like to give him a high five for that quick retort, though I feel like he completely missed a golden opportunity to call her a bitch. (It's a dog joke, son.)
A woman, age and residence not released, was arrested for drunken driving, with a prior conviction, illegal possession of a Schedule II narcotic, driving with a revoked license, defective tail lights, defective brake lights, failure to have insurance and open intoxicants after weaving in traffic in the 4800 block of North Sheffield Avenue about 2:45 a.m. May 7. The woman had three Adderall pills in her purse which she said weren't hers. She admitted knowing her license was revoked. Her BAC was 0.12.
On the plus side... Nope. I got nothin'.
A 32-year-old Brookfield man was cited for littering after he illegally dumped seven large, empty boxes in the trash at Applebee's, 20101 W. Bluemound Road, before 3:30 p.m. May 4.
He could have at least dumped them in the recycling bin. Save the planet, dude.
Three men, at least one of them carrying a handgun, robbed Kentucky Fried Chicken, 6311 S. 27th St., at 10 p.m. May 10. The men, two wearing bandanas and one wearing a monkey mask, fled the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. Police are investigating.
See, this is what happens when the man in the yellow hat is replaced with two men in bandanas: Curious George Robs a KFC.
A caller reported two cows running in the road in the 9000 block of West County Line Road about 1:30 p.m. May 11. Police made contact with the owner of the cows, who retrieved them.
I know there's a "Why did the cows cross the road?" joke in here somewhere... In the mean time, anyone who is still partying must immediately stop; the cows have come home.
A staff member at Kindred Transitional Care and Rehab, 5700 W. Layton Ave., called police after two patients began arguing at dinner and one of them threw a sandwich at 7:40 p.m. May 8.
There are nicer ways of sending your order back that don't result in the police showing up, but where's the fun in that?
About $1 in change was stolen from a home and a television set was disconnected but not stolen during a residential burglary. The back door was forced open, and witnesses said they saw two vehicles in the driveway of the home between 7:30 and 8 p.m. May 4. The home is uninhabited. The location of this burglary was redacted by police.
Worst. Burglars. Ever.
"Man robs Wade gas station of cash, bread and bag of pork skins."
This one was sent to me for special inclusion in Crime Time from a friend/reader. You can check out the story here, but the headline pretty much says it all. I hope those pork skins were worth it, dirt bag! You are a MENACE to the pork product industry and we will not stand for this injustice!! I mean, what's next? Bacon? Oh NO you do not!!
And now a couple to make you feel a little warm and fuzzy (and possibly restore some of your faith in humanity... but probably not).
An officer was flagged down by a bicyclist in the median at 27th Street and Sycamore Avenue to assist a duck and her ducklings across the street at 12:50 p.m. May 1. The officer helped move the ducks to a pond.
Police received a call for assistance about 2:25 p.m. May 11 after a mother duck and her ducklings got stuck in a median while attempting to cross the road in the 7500 block of West Rawson Avenue. The ducks were no longer in the area when an officer arrived.
A resident called police to report a duckling fell into a sewer near the pond behind Pick 'n Save on Sylvan Circle and Squire Drive at 6:55 p.m. May 11. The duckling was removed from the sewer and reunited with ducks that were waiting near the scene.
A Shorewood man, age not released, was warned for dogs at large after a woman called police to report his two schnauzers "came at her" as she walked in the 4500 block of North Wilson Drive at 1 p.m. May 7. She told him his dogs should be on a leash and he told her, "You need to be on a leash." He later apologized.
Personally, I'd like to give him a high five for that quick retort, though I feel like he completely missed a golden opportunity to call her a bitch. (It's a dog joke, son.)
A woman, age and residence not released, was arrested for drunken driving, with a prior conviction, illegal possession of a Schedule II narcotic, driving with a revoked license, defective tail lights, defective brake lights, failure to have insurance and open intoxicants after weaving in traffic in the 4800 block of North Sheffield Avenue about 2:45 a.m. May 7. The woman had three Adderall pills in her purse which she said weren't hers. She admitted knowing her license was revoked. Her BAC was 0.12.
On the plus side... Nope. I got nothin'.
A 32-year-old Brookfield man was cited for littering after he illegally dumped seven large, empty boxes in the trash at Applebee's, 20101 W. Bluemound Road, before 3:30 p.m. May 4.
He could have at least dumped them in the recycling bin. Save the planet, dude.
Three men, at least one of them carrying a handgun, robbed Kentucky Fried Chicken, 6311 S. 27th St., at 10 p.m. May 10. The men, two wearing bandanas and one wearing a monkey mask, fled the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. Police are investigating.
See, this is what happens when the man in the yellow hat is replaced with two men in bandanas: Curious George Robs a KFC.
A caller reported two cows running in the road in the 9000 block of West County Line Road about 1:30 p.m. May 11. Police made contact with the owner of the cows, who retrieved them.
I know there's a "Why did the cows cross the road?" joke in here somewhere... In the mean time, anyone who is still partying must immediately stop; the cows have come home.
A staff member at Kindred Transitional Care and Rehab, 5700 W. Layton Ave., called police after two patients began arguing at dinner and one of them threw a sandwich at 7:40 p.m. May 8.
There are nicer ways of sending your order back that don't result in the police showing up, but where's the fun in that?
About $1 in change was stolen from a home and a television set was disconnected but not stolen during a residential burglary. The back door was forced open, and witnesses said they saw two vehicles in the driveway of the home between 7:30 and 8 p.m. May 4. The home is uninhabited. The location of this burglary was redacted by police.
Worst. Burglars. Ever.
"Man robs Wade gas station of cash, bread and bag of pork skins."
This one was sent to me for special inclusion in Crime Time from a friend/reader. You can check out the story here, but the headline pretty much says it all. I hope those pork skins were worth it, dirt bag! You are a MENACE to the pork product industry and we will not stand for this injustice!! I mean, what's next? Bacon? Oh NO you do not!!
