No, ma’am, you can’t shoot someone

A woman who was upset with a road rage incident called at 10:01 p.m. Tuesday to report she had a gun and that she wanted to shoot a person involved in a road rage incident at Interstate 94 and East Moreland Boulevard.

The woman told dispatch police officer haven’t helped in the past and she wanted to confront the person at gunpoint. She hung up after she was told a police officer wouldn’t give her that permission.

"He turned off now, just forget it,” she said before hanging up the phone and turning it off.

Police called her back later and she denied ever calling, saying they had the wrong number.

Racist cops or just observant?

Waukesha police officers were called racist when they told a woman to stop driving on her neighbor’s lawn.

The woman denied the allegations at 8:43 p.m. Monday in the 800 block of Oakland Avenue. She told them no one had been driving on the neighbor’s lawn but the neighbor reported it was an ongoing problem.

The woman then told police it was probably a different neighbor – but that neighbor did not have a car. Police noted a vehicle in her driveway had mud on its tires and the neighbor’s property was shredded down to dirt.

One of the women threatened the resident of the apartment with a knife before all three left in a green Pontiac Grand Am. Police were not able to locate the three people in the area but did take statements.
