Police Reports: Central Student, 14, Found with Narcotics

Boy is searched on information that he may have marijuana but instead gives up prescription narcotics including Oxycodone, police say.

A 14-year-old student at Brookfield Central High School was arrested Tuesday for felony possession of narcotics and on a second misdemeanor count. At 10:40 a.m., police were called to investigate after school officials received tips that the boy might be in possession of marijuana. Instead, when he was searched, six pills of two different types were found inside a bag he was carrying. The boy claimed they were Advil and Tylenol, but two were in fact Oxycodone and the rest Darvon. The boy told police they were for his own use and that he was not distributing drugs to others. He was given a mandatory juvenile court date and was released to his parents. In other recent incidents: Jan. 11 A Brookfield man reported that between 11:15 a.m. and 1…

Police Reports: Impaired Car Hints at Impaired Driver

Driving down the main drag on two flat tires, a Brookfield man calls himself to the attention of a patrol officer who finds he wasn't fit to be driving at all.

At 1:42 a.m. Jan. 6, a 38-year-old Brookfield man was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, first offense, after a patrol officer spotted him on Blue Mound Road driving on two flat rear tires. The officer pulled him over in the parking lot of Great Midwest Bank, 15900 Blue Mound Rd., and noted immediately that the man smelled of alcohol and had slurred speech. The driver told the officer he was coming from the New Berlin Ale House and admitted having had “a little” to drink. When the officer asked him how both his rear tires came to be flat, he said, “They both just popped.” He failed field sobriety tests and blew a .13 blood alcohol concentration on an evidentiary breath test.

Prank-Friendly Roundabout Home to Another One

Police found holiday decorations left in the Barker Road roundabout, other yard messes reported over the holidays.

If there's a place in Brookfield that has been the site for pranks and stunts, the roundabout at North Avenue and Barker Road ranks high on the list. The past six months have seen youth set up chairs there, stand and scream "roundabout!" to passing motorists and have the senior class bike en masse through it. Add to the mix: dump a plastic Frosty the Snowman and Christmas decorations. A Brookfield police officer on patrol New Year's afternoon found the holiday decorations in the roundabout. Just three hours prior, a San Marcos Drive homeowner had called police to say her four-foot-tall, lighted, hard plastic Frosty was stolen, but when shown the one found in the roundabout, she said it wasn't her snowman. (Another plastic Frosty was stolen…

Halloween Hijinks and (Not So) Gruesome Discovery

The latest police calls include a Halloween costume theft, pumpkins as weapons and a not-so-gruesome discovery in a Dumpster.

Brookfield police got a startling call last week from an employee at Impact Networking: In the business' Dumpster there was a black garbage bag containing "four human heads." The employee at the business, 12530 W. Burleigh Rd., told police about 9 a.m. Tuesday that he was too afraid to go take a closer look inside the garbage bag. When police checked it out, they found a deer carcass and hide inside. "No human heads," the report said. In other Halloween-related police calls: Whether another call has anything to do with Halloween is unknown, but a Brookfield church told police they found "bloody footprints" from the women's bathroom to the church exit. The pastor at Countryside Christian Church, 16650 W. Greenfield Ave., said there were …

The vandalism occurred sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning.  Anyone with information is asked to call Brookfield police at (262) 787-3700.
