Grandmother Calls Greendale Police on Knife-Wielding Grandson

A grandmother told Greendale police her grandson was at the residence and highly intoxicated and at one point was waving knives around sometime around 8 p.m. May 25.

The grandson was arrested for domestic violence – disorderly conduct while armed and conveyed to the Milwaukee County Jail Facility.

That same day, just after noon, a caller reported his brother had attempted to steal their father’s gun from the residence and believed he was going to try and sell it for drugs.

The caller was able to retrieve the gun before his brother could leave with it.
