Bad Short Game in Beer Theft Leads to Felony Charges for Tosa Teen

A Wauwatosa teenager is facing felony charges after he allegedly broke into a golf course clubhouse and stole three cases of beer.  

Scott Douglas Connors Jr., 18, was charged Friday in Milwaukee County Circuit Court with one count of burglary. If convicted, he could face up to 12½ years in prison and $25,000 in fines.

On Oct. 14, an employee at , 9800 Underwood Parkway, came in to work and found someone had broken into the clubhouse and stolen three cases of beer. After investigated, they also discovered an air horn and six golf cart keys were missing.

Outside the clubhouse, the officers found the keys, and beside the green of the 10th hole, the air horn and several cans of beer were discovered.

Police later found Connors’ fingerprint on the air horn.

Connors initially denied knowing anything about the burglary, saying he had never been to the course before, but then he changed his story. He next told police he and a juvenile girl were nearby when they heard someone breaking into the clubhouse, so they went inside and decided to look around – but didn’t take anything.

Then he again changed his story and admitted to police that they took the beer.

Double bogey. Conners will make his initial appearance in court Tuesday.
