Walworth County.

 

Yeah, what about it?

I didn't hear whether or not they found a gun at the scene but since they are checking the hands for gunpowder, that answers my question. I doubt they would be doing that if they didn't have a gun in the house on the floor near one of the dead bodies.

 

Whether the police find a gun or not, anyone found at the scene of a firearm-related crime will have theirs hands tested for powder residue to see if they'd fired a gun recently.

Turns out one of the victims was in my class back in 5th grade, and a few hours together in 6th. I didn't catch it immediately because she had married a Mexican fellow and changed her name. That's too bad, but by 8th grade, the writing was on the wall as to what kind of lives most of us were going to have, even though you couldn't really predict it being THIS awful for her.

Well, that's enough about the death of my classmate. ON THE LIGHTER SIDE...

SUPERIOR, Wis. - A 20-year-old man received probation after he was convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer. The sentence also requires Bryan James Hathaway to be evaluated as a sex offender and treated at the Institute for Psychological and Sexual Health in Duluth, Minn.

 

"The state believes that particular place is the best to provide treatment for the individual," Assistant District Attorney Jim Boughner said.

 

Hathaway's probation will be served at the same time as a nine-month jail sentence he received in February for violating his extended supervision.

 

He was found guilty in April 2005 of felony mistreatment of an animal after he killed a horse with the intention of having sex with it. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail and two years of extended supervision on that charge as well as six years of probation for taking and driving a vehicle without the owner's consent.

 

Hathaway pleaded no contest earlier this month to misdemeanor mistreatment of an animal for the incident involving the deer. He was sentenced Tuesday in Douglas County Circuit Court.

 

"The type of behavior is disturbing," Judge Michael Lucci said. "It's disturbing to the public. It's disturbing to the court."

If the animals were already dead, I don't see a problem. I wouldn't personally want to ravage a maggoty animal carcass, but if this guy wants to hump roadkill in the privacy of his own home, bully for him.

Oh, heck, I'll add one. This article is from wtmj.com, which yes, is fairly right-wing, but this is worth reading. It's also worth noting that Milwaukee's many other festivals haven't had these sorts of problems. It brings to question when and how you hold a certain segment of the population accountable. Milwaukee has this annual "Juneteenth" festival which celebrates the end of slavery in the US, and it turned violent at the end this year.

 

Juneteenth Will Continue; Milwaukee Leaders React to Beating

By Chris Lato and Dan O'Donnell

 

An organizer of Milwaukee's Juneteenth festival says the event should continue, despite the outbreak of violence this week.

 

The aftermath of Juneteenth is making national headlines. The violence included the beating of an innocent man by an angry mob, and it was caught on video that has gone over various web sites and news organizations.

 

Organizer Mack Weddle says Juneteenth doesn't deserve the bad rap.

 

"It's not the festival," said Weddle. "This is what's happening in other cities.

 

"What we need to do as adults, and as parents is we need to have better control of our children."

 

Weddle says he met with police to discuss a strategy to prevent violence next year.

 

Milwaukee Leaders React to Beating

 

Two days after a man was pulled from his car and brutally beaten after Milwaukee's Juneteenth celebration, area leaders are weighing in on what should be done.

 

"Some of these neighborhoods are going to have to be occupied by the police 24-7," said Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke. "I drive through the city of Milwaukee a lot, and the area of 12th and Chambers is controlled by the Gangster's Disciples."

 

On Newsradio 620 WTMJ's Mid-Day with Charlie Sykes, he urged Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to sign a gang loitering ordinance, which was approved by the Common Council this week.

 

"Put your John Hancock on it and move on to the next issue so that we can reclaim the streets," Clarke said of the measure, which would allow law enforcement officers to disperse known gang members who are loitering on city streets. "It would give the people in the city of Milwaukee some confidence that somebody's in control, somebody's in charge, and somebody's going to do something about what's going on."

 

Yet not everyone is convinced that inner-city violence like that which occurred after the Juneteenth celebration is unique to Milwaukee.

 

"I would venture to say that if you looked at other metropolitan urban areas, there are comparable incidents that are occurring," said Common Council President Willie Hines moments after discussing the beating with CNN. "That doesn't make the incidents any more palatable, but the unfortunate reality is that they do occur in urban environments."

 

Hines told CNN that he doesn't believe that there are any "racial tensions that exist within the city of Milwaukee," prompting his interviewer to respond with an incredulous "We will take you at your word on that."

 

Clarke disagrees, saying the problems within Milwaukee's black community have been left untreated for far too long.

 

"It's like anything else," he said. "If you have a car and you neglect it and don't change the oil or the transmission and then drive 100,000 miles, you're going to have more expenses with that car down the road."

IS HE HIGH? Milwaukee probably has some of the worst racial tension out of any cities of that size.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Yeah, he's in denial. Milwaukee has a black alderman who's being investigated for election fraud (IIRC, there may have been some other stuff, he's been involved in a lot of incidents) and his father is a notorious racist, who recently said he was glad when the mother of a local talk show host died in a fire.

 

Oh yeah, there were also something like seven shootings in Milwaukee's inner city a couple nights ago. Go figure.

Clarke disagrees, saying the problems within Milwaukee's black community have been left untreated for far too long.

 

What sort of issues are we talking about here? Self-inflicted or brought upon by a corrupt police department/city hall or what?

 

I don't know much about police departments in cities, but I do know that some of the more corrupt stories I've heard have involved Milwaukee. What a horrible place to live in.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

How about the fact that they keep electing the same incompetent representatives, or that someone can get murdered in broad daylight in the streets, and no one is willing to come forward and say anything?

The Dane County coroner's office on Tuesday night identified a body found in rural Fitchburg Monday as Kelly Nolan, a 22-year-old UW-Whitewater senior who disappeared June 23 after a night of partying with friends on State Street.

 

Coroner John Stanley didn't disclose the cause of death or condition of the body, saying in a press release that "no ruling will be made on the cause of death until all examinations have been completed and reported."

 

Meanwhile, a forensic team that includes Neal Haskell, an insect expert from St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Ind., Leslie Eisenberg, a Madison anthropologist, and an unidentified dentist analyzed the area on Schneider Drive in Fitchburg where the body was found early Monday.

 

Nolan's body, which was moved to the Dane County morgue Tuesday afternoon, stayed at the crime scene about 30 hours after it was found because police didn't want to taint any evidence, said Madison Police Department spokesman Joel DeSpain Tuesday.

 

DeSpain said, as he did Monday, that police do not have a suspect.

 

"At this point, we've made no arrests," he said, "and, until we know what happened to her, we can't rule out that it could have been more than one person."

 

Police have interviewed a number of people who saw Nolan after midnight and cleared at least one man, he said.

 

In addition, DeSpain said police don't yet know whether Schneider Drive is where Nolan was murdered or whether she was murdered elsewhere and her body left there.

 

Nolan's mother, Mary Jane, and sisters, April, 20, and Candice, 25, were in seclusion Tuesday with Julie Foley, who manages victim services for the Dane County district attorney's office.

 

DeSpain said the family asked to be left alone Tuesday. "(Yesterday) they went from a position of hope that she is alive to dealing with the fact that probably she's not," he said. "They are at an undisclosed place, and they are together."

 

DeSpain said he expected the forensic experts to remain on the crime scene and Schneider Drive to remain closed at least part of today.

 

"A team of Madison Police Department officers and detectives have literally been on their hands and knees going through a grassy area near the woods where the body (was), looking for any small pieces of evidence that might be there," he said.

 

The forensic entomologist is an expert in determining time frames based on the life cycles and activity of insects, he said.

 

DeSpain said he didn't know of any search warrants that had been executed by police in connection with the Nolan case.

 

Mary Jane Nolan said last week she was optimistic after Madison police detectives met with her and shared information, but DeSpain said Tuesday they were merely grateful to police for updating them on the case. "I don't believe there was ever anything shared with them that would have led them to be more optimistic," he said.

 

However, DeSpain said, police continued to believe Nolan might be alive right up until her body was found. "Anything was really possible up until" Monday, he said. "When we began searching (for evidence) yesterday, the door was still open that she could be found alive."

Police: Man drove home with victim in windshield

 

Homicide charge sought in death of pedestrian, 50

 

By Mike Hoeft

[email protected]

 

 

Police say a 40-year-old Green Bay driver was drunk when he hit two pedestrians — a man and woman — on the city's east side just before midnight Sunday, then drove about seven blocks home with the man's body lodged in his windshield.

 

 

The driver, Steve Warrichaiet, parked his 1995 Dodge Intrepid in the garage at his home at 2128 Eastman Ave., then called police about six hours later, saying he had been involved in an accident and believed he had hit someone.

 

 

Warrichaiet was arrested soon afterward. Police are seeking charges of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle, drunken driving, causing injury while driving drunk, hit-and-run causing death, hit-and-run causing injury and hiding a corpse.

 

 

Police initially were called at 11:57 p.m. to the 1000 block of Elizabeth Street for a report of a crash.

 

 

They found a 41-year-old woman lying in the street. She was taken to a local hospital and reported in serious condition.

 

 

At 5:42 a.m. Monday, the police received the call from Warrichaiet. The 50-year-old man lodged in Warrichaiet's windshield was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy on the man was performed Monday, but the results were not released.

 

 

Police would not say whether the victim died on impact.

 

 

Police believe Warrichaiet was returning from a friend's home in Ashwaubenon.

 

 

The two victims, who have separate Green Bay addresses, apparently were walking together and were standing on the east side of the 1000 block of Elizabeth Street when they were hit. It's possible they were picking items out of curbside garbage and a recycling bin. A child's wagon was found at the scene.

 

 

Police withheld the names of the victims pending notification of family members.

 

 

Neighbors say Warrichaiet was a quiet person who never caused any trouble and lived there with his German shepherd.

 

 

"He was nice. I'd see him walking his dog and would wave when I saw him," neighbor Lori Thompson said.

 

 

Warrichaiet worked on and off through temporary help agencies and had been due to start a new job Monday, relatives said.

 

 

Warrichaiet graduated in 1985 from Green Bay Preble High School with another neighbor, Thurman Dorff.

 

 

"I remember him from school. He grew up here," Dorff said. "He pretty much kept to himself."

 

 

Dorff returned home from work Monday morning to find police, rescue squads and reporters on his lawn in the tree-lined neighborhood.

 

 

"It's shocking to see all this commotion," Dorff said.

 

 

At a news conference on Monday afternoon, Green Bay Police Lt. David Wesely said police aren't sure what happened in the six hours between the crash and Warrichaiet's call to police.

 

 

"It's still being investigated," he said.

 

 

Toxicology tests and blood-alcohol results on Warrichaiet will be complete in about two weeks.

 

 

Warrichaiet is expected to appear today in Brown County Circuit Court. He has no prior court record, according to a search of state records online.

 

 

Wesely said an incident of this nature involving alcohol was "hard not only on officers and responders but the community."

 

 

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact police at (920) 448-3208

 

I laughed at this story when it broke yesterday. Yes I'm going to hell.

MILWAUKEE - A couple who admitted locking a 7-year-old boy in his room with a bucket for a toilet while they watched Packers games at a casino received jail sentences Monday. Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner called the couple's actions "abhorrent" and ordered them to undergo psychological screening.

"What both of you did certainly shocks the conscience of the community," Wagner said.

 

Scott Scherer, 39, and Melanie Hardrath, 30, admitted locking Hardrath's son in his room with a loaf of bread, peanut butter and jelly, and a bucket that he would have to clean when they returned.

 

They had enough money to hire a baby sitter, said Assistant District Attorney Chris Liege, who showed the judge photographs of the couple's extensive collection of Packers memorabilia.

 

Wagner scolded Hardrath and Scherer, a former youth counselor, for not thinking about what would happen if the boy got sick or the house caught fire while they were at the casino.

 

He sentenced Hardrath to seven months in a county jail and Scherer to nine months. Both will serve four years of probation, with a stayed sentence of two years in prison and more extended supervision.

 

The couple also can't have contact with each other in the presence of the boy, now 8. He is staying with relatives.

 

The couple's defense attorney, Richard Johnson, said he couldn't explain their behavior.

 

"What do you do?" he asked the judge. "Maybe this coming football season, lock them in a room with a bucket and make them watch Bears games."

The two questions on Wisconsinites' minds:

 

1) What's a new way to be sexually deviant?

2) Can I fry this?

3) Will the Packers make the playoffs?

 

What happens when these interests converge?

They only seem to do this shit when the Packers suck

Our governor sucks. Glad I didn't vote for him, either time.

[snuffbox 0]

I don't like him either (voted Ed Thompson in '02, write-in last year) but it's pretty dumb to say this is all his fault. We have some real troglodytes in our legislature that are just as problematic as Humpty Dumpty Doyle.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Yeah, the legislature has been about as "do nothing" as it can get, that is true.

this may sound far fetched but it could work. Has anyone ever watched Montel Williams on Wednesdays when he has psychic Silvia Brown on. She works with police all over to help solve crimes and mysterious things just like this. If we have a enough information maybe we could take this case to them.

 

How do young men (all amazing athletes, built, and truly good guys) just disappear? They don't. We've all experienced the college life... drinking til we don't remember what we did all night... but we're not stupid... and neither were they. By putting this group together, I hope to find out information and link all of these cases together. We can't let this happen again.
