The Milwaukee Bucks Sterling Brown is suing the city of Milwaukee and its police department, over his arrest and tasering. Attorney Mark Thomsen says Brown was “set up, circled and attacked” by MPD officers, after illegally parking in a disabled spot outside a Walgreens on Januay 26.

“Twelve minutes he was left sitting or laying on the ground, after being abused. This kind of conduct must stop.”

Thomsen says Brown, who was also tased, hopes the city will take action. “And that when he hits the floor this next season, in our new stadium, that we celebrate and that Milwaukee is an example to the country of what a city can do to turn itself around.”

According to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court, one of the eight officers involved later took to Twitter to mock Brown. Three officers were disciplined, with suspensions ranging from two to 15 days. Eight other officers were ordered to undergo remedial training. Police Chief Alfonso Morales apologized to Brown after body cam video of the arrest was released last month.

A mother of two in Cudahy is accused of helping terrorists.

The FBI says 54 year-old Waheba Isa Dais hacked into Facebook and Twitter to recruit for ISIS, and encourage acts of terrorism.

Facebook contacted authorities when she posted instructions on how to make an explosive bomb vest.

Dias is originally from Israel, and came to the U.S. in 1992. The FBI says she’s been working on behalf of ISIS since January.

Two men are facing charges after being caught skimming credit cards in Fond du Lac.

Police say the men are Romanian immigrants, and that they may be part of a larger criminal group that engages in widespread credit card fraud.

The men were arrested on Sunday with nearly 140 phony credit cards and around 75-hundred dollars of cash in their car. Fond du Lac and Oshkosh police, along with the Secret Service, had been working a larger investigation into skimmers since Memorial Day weekend.

They’re now awaiting formal charges in the Fond du Lac County jail.

A Milwaukee man has been charged in connection with the on-duty death of a police officer. Twenty-eight-year-old Ladell Harrison faces multiple charges, including attempting to flee or elude an officer.

Twenty-three-year-old Officer Charles Irvine Junior died after a violent crash on Milwaukee’s northwest side last Thursday evening. Irvine and his partner were in pursuit of a reckless driver when their squad car crashed. A large crowd attended a memorial for Officer Irvine on Monday.

An official fund for Officer Irvine has been set up. People can donate at any Tri City National Bank or send checks to: The Charles Irvine Jr. Memorial Fund C/O Tri City National Bank N96W18221 County Line Rd. Menomonee Falls, WI 53051

Former University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Chancellor Richard Wells and Vice Chancellor Thomas Sonnleitner pleaded not guilty in Winnebago County Court Monday morning to all counts of misconduct in office.

The two are charged with five criminal counts alleging they improperly managed university funds for five development projects related to the university.

The projects, including the university’s Oshkosh Sports Complex and Alumni Welcome and Conference Center, were funded by the private UWO Foundation. But the case alleges the defendants made promises to banks, that loan payments not covered by the foundation would be covered by the university.

The state’s case alleges the defendants overstepped their authority, violating state law. The UWO Foundation filed for bankruptcy in 2017 leaving state taxpayers on the hook for more than $11 million in project loans. The criminal case, filed by the state, follows two civil cases.

The court commissioner set a December 10 date for a status hearing in the case. That gives the defense six months to review tens of thousands of pages of documentation that is part of the state’s case.

Waukesha County Sheriff Eric Severson suspended a manhunt for Jonathan Pogreba on Wednesday, believing the Eagle man has left the area after shots were fired in a domestic incident Tuesday. “We’re looking at a bunch of different leads,” Severson said.

Pogreba is considered armed and dangerous, and believed to driving a stolen car. Deputies began looking for Pogreba after shots were fired during a domestic dispute at a home in Eagle Tuesday afternoon. The sheriff’s department has also established a tip line, at 262.896.8139. Pogreba is described as a 43-year-old white male, and is believed to be driving a 4-door, 2015 white BMW 328XI, with Wisconsin plates 128-YCW.

The sheriff’s department urges people to not attempt to stop Pogreba. He is believed to be armed and dangerous.

Milwaukee’s police chief says he didn’t actually review newly released footage of Sterling Brown’s arrest.

Chief Alfonso Morales told reporters on Wednesday that he did not expect the raw video to be made public.

“I wasn’t expecting any of that to come out. I didn’t see half the videos either. For that to be given to you or whoever it was given to, I don’t know how that got there. But we’re still working on our stuff internally.”

Morales says he’s still committed to making sure that the community trusts the police. “I stated this before: give us time. No one is happy with this. And I’m not defending those actions, but what I am trying to do is change the department and build the community trust.”

He told reporters he hadn’t seen all of the video because he was focused on the decision to use a taser on Brown.

A judge issued a warrant for an Aniwa man’s arrest Wednesday after he failed to show up in court for a scheduled plea hearing to resolve two criminal cases. The judge also ordered 37-year-old Randy Diels Jr.’s $5,000 signature bond be forfeited, court records said.

Diels and 44-year-old Kimberly Lawrence were both charged with 20 mostly misdemeanor counts of animal mistreatment, including four counts of “intentional dognapping or catnapping,” in November after deputies responded to a complaint of animal abuse. A felony count alleges mistreatment of a three-week old puppy so severe that it was euthanized because of its “deteriorated condition.”

Diels pleaded not guilty to those charges in January. That same month, Lawrence was placed on three years probation after being convicted of seven misdemeanors in a plea deal.

Investigators found 23 dogs, three cats and a pot-bellied pig living in unsafe conditions at their home, according to a 22-page criminal complaint. The animals were kept in wire kennels with blankets soaked with urine or covered in feces.

Lawrence, who described herself to deputies as a dog trainer, said four golden retrievers in the home were found by Diels and he found them loose on a road, the complaint said. The dogs were traced to a woman who lives nearby who said they “went missing three months ago.”

Diels is also facing separate charges for a felony count of participating in a burglary from last October. That was also supposed to be resolved during Wednesday plea hearing.

A teacher at Little Chute High School is facing a felony charge in Marinette County on accusations of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl.

Forty-five-year-old Jason LaVigne is on administrative leave from the school district.

Prosecutors say the girl went with LaVigne’s family to the Crivitz area last weekend. They say LaVigne gave her several vodka and lemonade drinks while they were boating, and he assaulted her after they stopped at a sandy beach area.

LaVigne is charged with third-degree sexual assault. He’s been a business and computer teacher. The school district says the 16-year-old girl is not a Little Chute student.
