Frank Jude Back in Jail Again, This Time for Battery

Once more, police send a large force to deal with problems at notorious address on Wauwatosa's west side, this time to break up a fight between Jude and his brother.

Yet again, police were called to the west Wauwatosa home of Frank Jude, and he and his brother, Jerome A. Wallace, were both jailed for battery and jumping bail after they beat each other up Monday. Jude received national attention after he was beaten by on- and off-duty police officers in 2004 in Bay View. He has since continued his notoriety through repeated run-ins with police for domestic violence, drugs and even animal cruelty. At 2:47 p.m. Monday, police responded to a hang-up call from 1332 N. 121st St. in which an argument could be heard in the background. Six officers were sent because of the frequency of calls to the address. At first, things seemed pretty placid. A man was out front diligently shoveling snow. He said he didn't …

Tosa Man Severely Battered Sister-in-Law, Police Say

During an argument over a car, she tells officers, her husband's brother repeatedly smacked her face into pavement, leaving her with a deep cut and concussion.

A 35-year-old Wauwatosa man was arrested last Sunday on suspicion of substantial battery after his sister-in-law, of Brown Deer, sustained serious head injuries while she was at his home in the 10200 block of West Nash Street. According to Wauwatosa police reports: The woman told police that her husband and his several brothers had a business buying and selling cars, and she had gotten into an argument with one of them about a car they owned that had been reported stolen and then recovered in Milwaukee. She believed that her husband’s brother had sold the car for drug money, she said.

Crime Reports: Man Beats Mom in Police Station Parking Lot

Woman drives to police headquarters when her adult son becomes threatening in her car, but when he sees where she's taken him he flies into a violent rage.

  When a Milwaukee woman began to feel seriously threatened by her drug-addicted son, she drove to the nearest safe haven she could think of – the headquarters of the Wauwatosa Police Department. But her son beat and choked her and threw her to the pavement in the parking lot and then made her drive away before she could get the attention of any officer. She did, however, turn him in in the end. At 12:47 p.m. Saturday, a 26-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested on suspicion of battery after his mother reported the incident a short time later. She said her son had arrived earlier at her home “dope sick” and asking for money. She told him she wouldn't give him money for drugs but would help him any other way she could, and he asked for a ride …

Police Reports: Desperate Man Steals Mouthwash to Get a Buzz

Young South Milwaukeean tells officers his alcoholism, for which he was in rehabilitation, got the better of him.

A young man troubled by alcoholism stole two bottles of mouthwash Friday from a Wauwatosa supermarket and quickly downed one of them to take the edge off his uncontrollable urge to drink. At 3:25 p.m., police arrested a 23-year-old South Milwaukee man for retail theft after he ran away from Metcalfe’s Sentry Foods, 6700 W. State St., with two half-liter bottles of Listerine mouthwash. A store security officer said he had seen the man taking the mouthwash and tried to stop him as he left the store, but he ran. He had crossed West State Street and the railroad tracks into Hart Park, the employee said, and then just sat down on the ground. Police officers found him there and learned that just while crossing the street and the tracks, the man …

JIM! I know that. I'm joking about the guy using the phrase, "You know what time it is". I'm word-playing with the focus of the story being mainly on what the guy said, with a clueless slant, almost Navin Johnson-esque.   more ›

Police Reports: No Way to Treat a Lady of the Evening

Forgetful man accuses consort of stealing his stash of cash.

The Wauwatosa police probably have better things to do with their time, but at least they were able to end this incident report with a firm notation of "Case Closed." At 7:34 a.m. Sunday, a resident of the 800 block of North 112th Street called police to report that a woman who had spent the night with him after he picked her up at the Days Inn, 11811 Blue Mound Rd., had stolen $5,100 from him. He told police he kept the cash in a canister and he had found it empty after the woman left. The woman was found at the motel but she denied taking his money – except the $100 she had accepted for services rendered – and a thorough search of her room did not turn it up. The man called police later to say that he had found the money hidden in his …
