The following items are brief summaries from local police and fire department reports from Monday to Wednesday, August 22 through 24.

Please note that in all incidents where an arrest occurred, a charge is merely an accusation and not evidence of guilt. The arrested person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

A 16-year-old Brookfield boy was brought to Elmbrook Memorial Hospital 3 a.m. Wednesday morning, nearly incoherent and smelling of alcohol and vomit, after a suspected underage drinking party in the Village of Pewaukee.

The Pewaukee man who brought the teen to the hospital said he found the teen lying on the side of the road. However, after talking to the teen’s mother, who said the teen was supposed to be staying with a friend in Pewaukee, and after investigating the house where the drinking may have taken place, police determined the man they thought was a just a helpful motorist was actually a roommate in the house where the party was held.
