It just wouldn't be weird crime news without a peacock roaming around, now would it?
If you think nothing interesting ever happens in the burbs, think again. Patch is highlighting some of the more unusual crime news from throughout southeastern Wisconsin in our feature, "OMG PD." Monty Python created the large wooden badger and the killer rabbit, but a trespassing peacock? That would just be silly. Wisconsin’s four-year high school graduation rate increased 1.3 percent in 2011. Despite these folks. High-tech thievery often requires a low-tech deterrent. A teen who badly forged documents to suggest he’d completed his community service sentence can avoid jail … with 150 hours of community service. Matching the description of an armed robbery suspect quickly became the least of this guy’s worries. _____________________ The …

To increase safety belt use, law enforcement officers throughout Wisconsin will be patrolling city streets, rural roads, and major highways—day and night—during the Click It or Ticket mobilization from May 21 to June 3.
Editor's Note: The following Letter to the Editor was provided to Patch via Wisconsin Department of Transportation Secretary Mark Gottlieb. Dear Editor, Traffic deaths in Wisconsin so far this year have increased compared with the same time last year. Tragically, in all too many of these recent deadly crashes, the drivers and passengers may have survived if they had been buckled up. It is a proven fact that wearing a safety belt will effectively protect you from being ejected from a vehicle or thrown around violently inside during a crash and possibly hitting another vehicle occupant with massive force. Wearing a safety belt at all times is common sense, so it’s hard to understand why approximately one out of five motorists in our state …

On one hand, you've got iPads and text messages. On the other hand, good old screwdrivers. The common theme is the strangeness found in the police files and court complaints.
If you think nothing interesting ever happens in the burbs, think again. Patch is highlighting some of the more unusual crime news from throughout southeastern Wisconsin in our feature, "OMG PD." Two thieves caught by Wauwatosa police believed that the screwdrivers, wallet, cell phone, clothing, the other screwdrivers, marijuana, black gloves and ski mask didn’t get them in trouble. It was the iPad. Sometimes, figuring out the relationship between odd items people steal from grocery or convenience stores is a puzzler. Other times, it takes just a second. Greenfield police were prepared to arrest a 19-year-old Milwaukee man for marijuana possession. Then he received a text message. Possession is nine-tenths of the law. Here’s the other 10 …
