Wauwatosa Man Charged After Meth Bust at City Dump

Family's run-ins with the law continue after two brothers came afoul of justice in 2008 and 2011, one of them dying in a hail of gunfire and the other nearly so.

A 40-year-old Wauwatosa man was arrested Thursday and has been charged with felony possession of narcotics after police were called about suspicious activity at the north end of the city dump. Robert Pekrun stands charged with possession of methamphetamine and another less-potent drug. A 30-year-old male relative from the same address – just north of the dump on North 113th Street – was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia in the same incident. According to police reports, at 12:42 a.m., officers were sent to North 113th Street and West Gilbert Avenue after a caller reported a dark-colored van parked in the intersection, and a man with a flashlight walking into the dump. The first officer arrived to find the younger man loading …

Chill Pill, Tosa: Police Plead for Order in Medication Turn-in Program

Department agreed to participate in worthy environmental protection plan but ended up on the receiving end of a medicine cabinet-dumping free-for-all.

The Wauwatosa Police Department was deluged this week with residents dutifully turning in unused or outdated medications. That was exactly the intention of a program conceived by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, and signed on to by a dozen area police departments, to keep medicines from being flushed into Lake Michigan. Unfortunately, a notice published elsewhere about the program failed to include some important policies and guidelines, creating a migraine for the police and prompting them to ask that Patch please help remedy the situation. All drugs turned in needed to be individually marked as to their type, in separate containers, and with prescription and over-the-counter drugs further segregated. Instead, "We had people …

What a stupid policy. In an effort to encourage people to turn in outdated or unused medications, the police department wants to encourage people to give up their right to medical privacy? Why should I let city employees know what medications, and potentially what afflictions I've had? In an effort to keep everyone's important information private, the Police department should *require* all …   more ›

Man Left Baggie with Marijuana on Passenger Seat During Traffic Stop

Suspect told officers it was "nothing" and tossed the bag on the floor.

A Wauwatosa driver had a baggie with remnants of marijuana on his passenger seat when he was pulled over on suspicion of driving with a revoked license, charges allege. James R. Keierleber, 46, was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Tuesday with one count of second offense possession of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. According to the criminal complaint: On Oct. 11, Brookfield police pulled Keierleber over in the 14800 block of West Capitol Drive on suspicion of driving with a revoked license. The officer said Keierleber smelled like intoxicants and Keierleber said he had drank some wine earlier that night. But Keierleber passed field sobriety tests, and officers told him they were going to issue him a citation for driving …
