Detectives leave no stone – or scrap of paper – unturned after Swan Pharmacy is robbed for drugs, and federal indictment leads to long sentence.
After Wauwatosa detectives developed him as the suspect in a series of armed robberies of pharmacies for narcotics, a Milwaukee man has been tried and sentenced to 65 years in prison. According to federal sentencing guidelines, most of that sentence is mandatory, meaning Daniel Lee will probably not leave prison. Lee, 50, was sentenced Tuesday in federal court on four counts of armed robbery, including the March 15, 2012, robbery of Swan Serv-U Pharmacy in Wauwatosa. That was the first of several robberies recounted in a criminal complaint when Lee was charged, but a key piece of evidence found early on by Tosa detectives would lead to his identification and arrest.

In plea deal, 24-year-old defendant cops to one count in which he held up a pharmacist for drugs and was caught red-handed by a handy police officer. Two more counts were dismissed but read in to his record.
A 24-year-old Wauwatosa native pleaded guilty Tuesday morning to robbing a Walgreens pharmacist at gunpoint for prescription narcotics, according to court records. Robert John Schweitzer initially had been charged with three pharmacy robberies, all while armed and all for narcotics, and had pleaded not guilty despite having admitted them all to police. In a plea negotiation, the state dismissed two counts but ordered them read in to the record. As such, they may be considered by the judge at sentencing but are not recorded as convictions; neither can they compound Schweitzer's sentence beyond the maximum penalty for one count. As it is, armed robbery is punishable by up to 40 years in the Department of Corrections – typically maximums of …

Man admits leaving his girlfriend alone in parking lot, unconscious after injecting narcotic, while he goes inside to flush evidence down the toilet.
A 26-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested Thursday as a fugitive on a felony warrant after his girlfriend, a 27-year-old Elm Grove woman, overdosed on heroin in her car in the parking lot of Mayfair Mall, according to Wauwatosa police reports. Officers and paramedics were called at 8:52 p.m. on a report of an unresponsive woman at the wheel of a car, and they found the woman alone and semi-conscious, pale and “very sweaty.” She could not roll down her window or unlock her door for some time. When she finally did, she was incoherent. Police noted a man’s belt on the passenger seat and several small napkins stained with blood that had been tossed out of the car. While paramedics assisted her in an ambulance, her boyfriend walked up and asked …

Sitting at traffic light Tuesday, a Wauwatosa patrolman hears call that a Walgreens right in front of him is being robbed at that moment. The suspect, already charged, admits to two other recent robberies for narcotics.
A Wauwatosa police officer had just pulled up to the corner of North Mayfair Road and West Capitol Drive on Tuesday afternoon when a dispatch call came over his radio. "Armed robbery in progress at the Walgreens, 10800 W. Capitol Drive..." – a couple hundred feet away. Hearing further that the robber was leaving the store at that moment, the officer hit his lights and started across the intersection, already in pursuit even as he saw the suspect run out the door. He easily caught up with his man in the alley behind the store before he could even get into his running getaway car. Robert John Schweitzer, 24, of Wauwatosa was charged Thursday afternoon in Milwaukee County Circuit Court with that crime and two more counts of armed robbery, in …

A masked robber with a knife held up two Wauwatosa pharmacists Monday for drugs, leaving no evidence. But he had cased the store about a week before, police say, and that may prove his undoing. He showed his face clearly on camera. Wauwatosa police are asking the public's help in identifying the lone white male from still photos grabbed from in-store security video. According to their reports: At 8:20 a.m. Monday, the unknown suspect entered CVS Pharmacy at 7520 Blue Mound Rd. wearing gloves and a full-face orange ski mask. He went to the pharmacy counter where two technicians were working, showed the knife and asked for OxyContin. The pharmacy techs said the robber behaved "timidly" during the holdup. He was given an undisclosed amount of…

Man gets physical against boy who, horsing around with friends, took a couple of steps into the the street.
A 50-year-old Wauwatosa man was arrested last Monday at his home in the 10400 block of West Stewart Avenue for disorderly conduct after a 13-year-old boy reported that the man had pushed him down after starting an altercation with him and two friends. The boys said they were walking home from Whitman Middle School along North 113th Street and were horsing around and chasing one another, and one of them took a couple of steps off the curb and into the street. The man, who was driving in the opposite lane, stopped his car and began to yell at the boy for being in the street, then got out and pushed him backward over the curb. When a woman who had pulled up behind his car began to yell at him for manhandling the boy, he called her a racial …

What a bunch of B.S.! No wonder people are dieing of o.d.'s, their friends and relatives are afraid to call for help because the VICTIM will get prosecuted. I guaranty the cops never even tried to determin where this young man procured his dope. That would actually require them to do some work.
