Bill Wisth, a Mequon man who also protested at a Thiensville restaurant in May over an all-you-can-eat buffet, claims his arrest on Saturday was unwarranted, and that police beat him up. Law officials say he was uncooperative and threatening his son.
A 54-year-old Mequon man who protested a Thiensville restaurant for cutting him off during an all-you-can-eat buffet earlier this year was protesting again Monday, this time outside the Port Washington Police Department, alleging he is the victim of police brutality. "It's just not right for people to beat you up, then use some law book (to arrest you)," Bill Wisth said, adding that the Monday protest "is a good cause, though — because the police are kind of, like, above the law." Law enforcement officials said Wisth was "uncooperative" and threatened his son — who Wisth says owes him money — resulting in his arrest on Saturday. The district attorney is reviewing the case that could land Wisth disorderly conduct and resisting arrest …

Police have no leads in the missing Playstation 3, among other stolen items; the victim was arrested on Fish Day for stealing money and medication, and faces charges in connection with that theft.
Several items were stolen from a 21-year-old Port Washington man's apartment while he was in jail — ironically enough, for stealing. Paul R. Nuedling called police on July 24 to report a Playstation 3, Sony recording device and friend's bicycle were missing from his apartment. He believed the items were stolen sometime before that Tuesday and Fish Day — when he was arrested for stealing money and medication from a craft booth at the fesitval. Nuedling was taken to jail after the Fish Day incident, and his apartment was left unlocked, according to the police report. He told police that his parents had gone to the apartment to lock it, but when they arrived the items were already gone. Open dresser drawers further convince Nuedling that …

Supporter of Gov. Scott Walker was arrested for disorderly conduct after a verbal altercation with a few Barrett backers at Milwaukee rally with Clinton.
A vocal supporter of Gov. Scott Walker was arrested for disorderly conduct Friday during a rally for Democrat Tom Barrett that featured former President Bill Clinton. During the morning rally at Pere Marquette Park in Milwaukee, the Walker supporter was holding a sign that read "Support Scott Walker NOT Union Thugs." In the middle of the crowd, he would put his sign in front of other signs supporting Barrett. One Patch reader gives her take on the events: "My husband and I were at the rally standing six feet from him 15 minutes before the rally began, during, and when he was arrested as the rally ended," she writes. "Even before the rally began he was screaming at people near him that held recall signs. Get out the vote volunteers flanked …
With the recall election four days away, the former president spoke at a rally with Democrat Tom Barrett at Pere Marquette Park.
Former President Bill Clinton visited Pere Marquette Park Friday to support Democrat Tom Barrett as Wisconsin's tumultuous recall election nears its end. Clinton made cooperation the theme of his speech and hammered Gov. Scott Walker for his "divide and conquer" tactics. "Everywhere I go in America, everywhere I go in the world, the only thing that's working is when you get everybody who's got a stake in the game in there, treat them with respect and people go forward together," Clinton said. "That's how you get out of a ditch." Clinton said Barrett is the candidate better for education, the budget and creating jobs. He and Barrett also used the event to urge people to vote early, with absentee voting coming to an end Friday. Hundreds …

Picture this: You live in an apartment. It's 2:59 a.m. There's a loud banging coming from the walls of a neighboring apartment.

Police found that a cleaning service was inside the unit. The business should probably consider some more reasonable operating hours. More from the reports:
