A Whole Lot of Naked Going On

So it’s finally starting to warm up in Wisconsin, and suddenly there’s a nudity epidemic. This is our weekly weird crime roundup, OMG PD.

Patch is highlighting some of the more unusual crime news from throughout southeastern Wisconsin in our feature, "OMG PD." Can I get a booth by the window with the view of the naked guy? If two officers see a naked guy and then he disappears, was he ever naked? Ten million organized activities, and these kids play “Paranoia” naked. It’s never too late to operate a widespread shoplifting operation. Seems like everything is being recorded nowadays. Everything. _____________________ The above items are from local police reports and criminal complaints.

Break These Chains of Love … Please?

An amorous couple needed police assistance to deal with a “wardrobe malfunction.” Welcome to OMG PD.

Patch is highlighting some of the more unusual crime news from throughout southeastern Wisconsin in our feature, "OMG PD." Handcuffs and a third person kind of killed the mood here. "These birds don’t look angry, dad.” “Times are tough,” but Porterhouse steaks aren’t. This case of vandalism smells fishy. Me Tarzan. You suspicious.

Just read that we have more black males between the ages of 20 and 54 in prison than were in slavery. When I was a kid very few families had relatives that were in prison or were ex-cons. Today most families have a close relative or several in prison or on parole. Seems like once involved they enter a revolving door arena the pattern never alters until the rat dies. Do we really need more laws …   more ›
