On December 1 at 6:15PM, Officer Gerke assisted the sheriff’s department at a residential burglary alarm at a Town of Jackson residence. At 6:35PM, Officer Gerke investigated the unattended death of a 78 year old woman in Green Valley. At 10:02PM, Officers Gerke and Borkowski were dispatched to a personal injury vehicle accident on Highway 60 at Tillie Lake Road. They found one vehicle on Tillie Lake Road with front-end damage, and another one in the ditch that was still occupied by a 48 year old Kimberly man. Further investigation revealed that this man had struck a road sign near the 41/45 split, continued north on Highway 45, and exited at Jackson where he struck cross-traffic on Highway 60. The man was arrested for his second OWI offense and Causing Injury by Intoxicated Use of a Motor Vehicle. The blood test was .28. On December 2 at 9:30AM, Officer Friedl investigated the unattended death of a 93 year old woman at Ivy Manor. At 10:31AM, Officer Krueger intercepted a vehicle on Highway 60 that was wanted by the sheriff’s department for investigation of disorderly conduct. On December 5 at 2:32PM, Officer Fristed monitored radio conversations from West Bend PD regarding a theft suspect heading south on Highway 45, and watched traffic on the highway. A short time later, he spotted the vehicle and pulled it over, joined by Deputies Klopfenstein and Parkinson. The driver, a 19 year old Wausau man, was cited for operating without a license. He and another occupant were arrested by a West Bend officer, and the remaining people were taken by Officer Fristed and the deputies to Pioneer Plaza, where they waited for a ride. At 11:49PM, Officer Henning monitored Deputy Stolz reporting that he was out with an intoxicated driver who had caused an accident on Highway P at Pleasant Valley Road and had tried to drive away. Officer Henning was asked to assist until another deputy arrived. Ultimately, the 46 year old West Bend woman was arrested for OWI. On December 6 at midnight, West Bend PD asked Officers Henning and Laabs to arrest a Green Valley couple for disorderly conduct and battery. Although the officers could hear voices inside the trailer, no one would come to the door. West Bend advised they would pursue the matter later. On December 7 at 2:38AM, Officer Henning observed a vehicle come to a stop at a green light on Main & P, then proceed slowly as it weaved across the center line. The 23 year old Germantown man produced Wisconsin and Mexican identification cards, and an open can of Modelo beer. The man was eventually arrested for operating without a license, open intoxicants, and OWI; the blood test was .21. On December 8 at 12:45AM, Officer Henning found an abandoned, damaged vehicle in the ditch along Eagle Drive. He went to the owner’s home and was greeted by the 74 year old man. Officer Henning observed that he was without pants, was extremely off-balance, and knocked items off the wall as he attempted to open the door. The man said he had been celebrating Pearl Harbor Day at an American Legion hall. The man failed field tests and blew a .12 on the preliminary screening device. However, the man’s wife was paralyzed and he was her only caregiver (a relative had stayed with her when the husband was out of the house). If the man was arrested for OWI, his wife would have to be moved to the county’s Samaritan Home for care. Exercising discretion, Officer Henning opted to cite the man for reckless driving and failing to report the accident, instead. On December 12 at around 1:00AM, a 911 caller reported a possible intoxicated driver heading towards Jackson on Highway 45. The caller had been following the vehicle from Milwaukee, but none of the departments along the way had squads available to intercept it. Officer Henning spotted the vehicle as it weaved back and forth, and followed it with lights and siren until it finally stopped at Highway PV. A witness reported that the vehicle varied its speed from 50-80mph, swerved between lanes, and straddled lanes. The Campbellsport woman admitted to drinking much earlier in the evening. She blew a .10 on the screening device but passed the other field tests. She was advised that she could not drive, and Officer Borkowski drove her to George Webb’s in West Bend, where she agreed to wait until a friend picked her up. On December 13 at 7:45PM, Officers Foeger and Gerke were dispatched to a home regarding a suicidal woman. Eventually, the woman was conveyed to St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac for emergency detention. Another investigation was initiated regarding the possibility that the woman had attempted to harm her infant. On December 14 at 10:20AM, Officers Krueger and Bloedel were dispatched to a family trouble call at Green Valley. The 18 year old woman had struck her 21 year old sister and broken her cell phone in an argument over the cell phone bill. The suspect was arrested for Disorderly Conduct/Domestic Violence and an outstanding warrant. The victim objected and had to be warned to stop interfering or she would also be arrested. She refused to provide a “f***ing statement”, asked Officer Bloedel if he enjoyed making people miserable, and wished the officers a “Merry f***ing Christmas”. On December 15 at 11:36PM, Officer Henning observed an intoxicated man stumbling down the sidewalk on Main Street. When he turned his squad around, he spotted the man in the dark, standing next to a home. When the squad approached, the man took off running through the backyards. Officer Henning couldn’t see where he went, about five minutes later he spotted the man again walking along Main Street and successfully detained him. The man had a field breath test of .26. The 37 year old Altoona, Iowa man was arrested for disorderly conduct. On December 17 at 12:42AM, a woman called 911 to report that she was inside a vehicle heading east on Highway 60 from Slinger, and had been struck by the driver. Officer Henning spotted the vehicle and stopped it at Cedar Parkway, with Deputy Polinske providing assistance. The victim was a 26 year old Oakdale, Minnesota woman who refused to cooperate with the deputy regarding what happened inside the vehicle. However, Officer Henning discovered that the driver, a 40 year old Greenfield man, was intoxicated. The man was arrested for OWI (.13 blood test) and for violating probation. At 4:20PM, Officer Wrucke was asked by Dep. Survis to assist him on Highway 60 at Mayfield Road, where the deputy spotted a woman running hysterically from a vehicle. The woman reported that she had gotten upset with her boyfriend and tried to get out of the car while it was still moving. The boyfriend reported that he grabbed the girl to keep her from getting hurt, pulled over, and the girl then ran away. On December 18, Officer Wrucke received information that several juveniles had started a fire in the basement of an apartment building on Ridgeway Drive. After a lengthy investigation, with the assistance of Officer Gerke, citations for negligent handling of burning materials were issued to two 14 year olds. At around 4:00PM, Officer Gerke was called to the Main Street Mart regarding a man begging for money. The 54 year old West Bend man, a registered sex offender, admitted to asking people for cigarette money. He was told to leave the area, and he rode his bicycle back to the county seat. On December 20 at 4:35PM, Officers Gerke and Wrucke were dispatched to Main Street Mart regarding a disturbance between two parents during a child custody exchange. The ex-husband, from New Holstein, told them that his ex-wife, from Waukesha, has already left. She had allegedly yelled and threatened the man’s fiancé. Officer Gerke contacted the woman by phone and warned her to keep things calm during future exchanges. On December 21 at 10:32AM, a Stonewall Drive told a 911 operator that an ex-boyfriend had stalked her and was now parked outside her home. Det. Bloedel and Officer Krueger responded and found the man’s car parked in the driveway. Due to the heavily tinted windows, they could only make out the man’s silhouette. Trooper Perales arrived to assist. When their orders to exit the vehicle were ignored, Det. Bloedel cautiously opened the driver door, and observed that the man had put a shotgun barrel in his mouth and committed suicide shortly before their arrival. The weapon was a “street sweeper”, a 12-gauge shotgun with a short barrel and a revolving ammunition drum, illegal to possess and the favorite of street gangs because of its lethality. At 3:44PM, Officer Gerke offered mutual aid and responded to a rescue call at Living Word School Child Care, in the Town of Jackson, for a three year old having an allergic reaction. At 8:00PM, the sheriff’s department requested mutual aid for a head-on crash on Highway 60 east of Mayfield Road, in the Town of Polk. Officers Gerke, Henning, and Fristed tended to injured occupants until the arrival of Jackson Fire Rescue. Shortly later, a deputy arrived to write the accident report and the officers handed traffic control because the highway had to be shut-down. At 9:13PM, Officers Foeger and Henning were needed to evict an uncooperative person from the Jackson Motel. At the same time, Officer Gerke was on Highway 45 looking for a reckless driver that was reported to be northbound either there or on Highway 41; the vehicle didn’t come through. At 10:01PM, Officer Henning recognized an 18 year old woman, walking on Main Street, as a person wanted on a local warrant and arrested her. On December 22 at 2:32AM, Officer Henning stopped a vehicle on Highway 45 after observing it dangerously tailgating another vehicle. The 21 year old Germantown man smelled of alcohol, but denied drinking. He then admitted to having some mixed drinks prior to eating at George Webb’s. The man didn’t do well on the field tests and tested at .05 on the field test. The man was told that he wouldn’t be arrested on condition that he agreed not to drive any further. Officer Henning gave the man a ride home. On December 23 at 4:10AM, Officers Henning and Laabs were dispatched to a family fight on Ridgeway Court. They were able to calm things down before it escalated and no official action was needed. At 8:00AM, a Glen Hill Drive man reported that his snow blower had been stolen overnight. Officer Krueger observed tracks that indicated the machine had been carried to the sidewalk and across the curb, where it was placed in a truck, which drove south towards Sherman Road. A nearby resident reported that his snow blower had been stolen at the same time. On December 26 at 1:45AM, Officer Henning stopped a vehicle after it passed through a stop sign at the bottom of an off-ramp for Highway 45 and then drove over the center line of Main Street. While speaking to the 17 year old Colgate man, Officer Henning smelled burned marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. The man said that he hadn’t smoked marijuana in the car for at least a year. After Officer Borkowski and Deputy Korth arrived, the man was asked to exit the vehicle so it could be searched for contraband (the smell of marijuana provided sufficient probable cause). The man and two passengers (brothers from West Bend and Jackson) exited the vehicle. The West Bend man had a baggie containing about 4 grams of marijuana. A bag containing 6 grams was found in the driver’s side door; assorted drug paraphernalia was found in the center console; a case containing a baggie of 6 grams and a pipe were found on the floor; and a stone grinder with marijuana pieces was found in the Jackson man’s coat. Citations were issued. At 4:08AM, Slinger PD requested mutual aid involving a man who had been shot during a party. Officer Borkowski was directed to interview witnesses. Officer Laabs assisted Deputy Stolz in searching the area, interviewed other witnesses, and escorted Life Start ambulance as it conveyed a witness to the hospital for treatment of a wrist sprain sustained in a fight with the suspect. On December 27 at 4:19PM, Officer Gerke and a deputy were dispatched to a Main Street residence where a woman was attempting to kill herself with a knife. When the officers arrived, they found that the husband had gotten the knife away from the woman and holding her down. They learned that the woman had tried to stab herself with scissors earlier in the day, and takes five medications for mental illness. Due to a car crash, the emergency room was busy and it took hours for the woman to be medically cleared at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Officer Gerke then transferred her to St. Agnes Hospital for emergency detention. On the morning of December 28, Russ Krueger of the DPW radioed Officer Krueger that a vehicle had just rolled-over, coming off of Highway 45 and landing on the on-ramp. The area had turned icy and hadn’t been salted yet. Officer Krueger had Jackson Fire rescue paged to examine the man for a possible head injury, and stood by until a deputy arrived to write the accident report. In the meantime, two other vehicles slid off the highway. Officer Krueger then assisted with traffic control while a wrecker retrieved the vehicles. On December 29 at 4:15PM, a village building inspector reported that he had been threatened by a Green Valley man who built a shed without a permit. The man was warned by Officer Wrucke to abide by the code requirements and not threaten the inspector, who was just doing his job. At 4:26PM, Officer Gerke stopped a vehicle after she saw it parked in the dark, occupied by three people, in the Park and Ride on Highway P. While speaking to the driver, a 20 year old Hubertus man, she detected the smell of burned marijuana, but all three denied having any. Officer Wrucke and Chief Dolnick arrived, and assisted as the three were removed from the car so it could be searched for contraband. One of the occupants, a 17 year old village resident, called his mother and asked her to contact his lawyer because he was being harassed. A baggie of marijuana was found in the driver’s pants pocket and a container of more marijuana was found in his jacket pocket. The man then admitted that there was a marijuana pipe hidden behind the glove box. A search of the 17 year old turned up a large sandwich bag inside a jacket pocket. This contained a large baggie of marijuana and six smaller baggies of marijuana that were packaged for sale. Another baggie of marijuana was found in a pants pocket. A third subject, another 17 Jackson youth, didn’t hold any contraband. Officer Emmrich, the Cedarburg K-9 officer, arrived and conducted a search of the vehicle, locating pieces of marijuana scattered about. The 20 year old was cited for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. The 17 year was held in county jail for possession with intent to deliver, however the District Attorney ultimately charged him only with criminal possession. On December 30, Chief Dolnick was contacted by a Phoenix woman about an Ebay dispute with a buyer in Jackson. The chief attempted to mediate it without success, and suggested that the two contact Ebay for assistance.
