With a retail theft charge pending against him, a 19-year-old Brookfield Man attempted to shoplift five video game controllers from the department store, police say.
A 19-year-old Brookfield man is facing charges after he attempted to steal video game controllers from a Greendale Walmart, just a few months after being charged in another retail theft. Matthew Brown was charged May 10 with one count of retail theft in an amount less than $500 and one count of bail jumping. If convicted, he faces up to 10 months imprisonment, $10,000 in fines, or both. According to the criminal compliant: On April 21, Greendale police interviewed a Walmart security officer whom said he observed Brown take four Nintendo Wii controllers, and one Wii “Nunchuck” out of the packaging and return the empty packaging to the shelf. Brown then walked to the store's shoe department and concealed the controllers, valued at $179, in …
Game involving public nudity takes on new, more disturbing overtones when an excess of alcohol fuels vandalism and public urination on private property. And parents, in this case, offer no help to police in correcting their little angels.
Brookfield police warned last week that they will not take lightly crimes committed by youths playing a game called "Paranoia," which may involve going naked and entering people's homes. In another incident reported since, parents helped their teenage sons evade the law even after they shocked and disgusted a neighborhood with over-the-top and underhanded antics including getting drunk and urinating all over lawns, vandalizing property and threatening to enter residences. The episode took place in the Westwood Hills subdivision, just west of Lilly Road and south of Capitol Drive. At 11:12 p.m. May 16, according to police reports, a resident of the 14200 block of Chesterwood Drive called police to report that four young men or teenage boys …

Extra effort and resources will focus on both drunken driving and speeding as police seek to protect those out to enjoy the beginning of summer.
The High Visibility Enforcement OWI Task Force will be out this holiday weekend, with most metro area agencies deploying additional officers all weekend long for Memorial Day. Brookfield will be no exception. In fact, as usual the Brookfield Police Department takes a leading role in Task Force deployments. "The message is the same, and it really is rather simple," said Brookfield PD Capt. Phil Horter, the Task Force media and public relations coordinator for the whole region. "Do not drink and drive, because law enforcement will be out in force. "Our goal is certainly to deter, but if we can not deter, we will detect, and if necessary, detain." "We would also like to remind motorists that as the weather improves, they should expect and …
Brookfield man takes off at high speed hoping to elude patrol officer, but instead he multiplies his trouble.
A Brookfield man with around 2½ times the legal level of alcohol in his bloodstream tried to outrace a squad car rather than take a municipal ticket for first-offense drunken driving, according to a criminal complaint. As a result, Daniel P. Lonski, 23, is facing a criminal felony charge, as well as an OWI citation, for fleeing from an officer. If convicted, he would be looking at a sentence of up to three years and six months in prison. On the night of March 24, Lonski was spotted by a patrol officer driving an estimated 80 to 90 mph northbound on Brookfield Road. The officer turned off Bennington Drive to follow, hitting his emergency lights. Lonski slowed to 30 or 40 mph as he approached Gebhardt Road, the officer said, but then gunned …

A Milwaukee man is accused of confronting his former brother-in-law by pointing a BB gun at the brother-in-law at his workplace in on Aug. 16. John M. Binter, 32, was charged Thursday in Waukesha County Circuit Court with negligent handling of a weapon, disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon.

Concerned citizen, worried by clanging alarm that something is amiss at a neighbor's home, calls police, who fly to the scene but can't put the cuffs on this home-breaker.
A usually quiet, woodsy neighborhood of Brookfield is fortunately not going to the dogs, but it is certainly for the birds. At 6:07 p.m. May 8, a resident of the 18200 block of W. Burleigh Road called police to report an audible alarm going off repeatedly at the home of a neighbor two doors away. Worried there might be a break-in, the caller had gone to his neighbor’s home, he said, and didn’t see anything suspicious. He tried the doorbell, but no one answered. But the alarm kept sounding, he said, some sort of very loud outdoor system that sounded like a big bell. He noted to officers that there are ADT alarm company signs posted on the property. Most puzzling was that the alarm would sound for awhile, then stop, then turn back on, over …

Teen was huffing stolen propane inside his stepfather's home.
A Westfield teen is facing burglary charges stemming from his potentially explosive huffing habit, police say. The 17-year-old was recently charged with two counts of burglary of a dwelling and one count of intentionally abusing a hazardous substance. The teen was huffing propane, police say.
