Man Accused of Pulling Knife on Two Women at Waukesha Bus Stop and Demanding Smokes

A 46-year-old Waukesha man is facing charges after he allegedly brandished a knife at two women waiting at a bus stop and demanded they give him cigarettes.

David G. Mundschau was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Tuesday with one count of carrying a concealed weapon and one count of disorderly conduct with use of a dangerous weapon. If convicted, he faces up to one year in prison and $11,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

The two women were waiting for a bus on May 2 in the 200 block of East St. Paul Avenue when Mundschau, carrying beer and a bottle of vodka, approached them and began repeatedly asking for cigarettes. After the women didn’t give him any, he brandished a knife and demanded cigarettes, which prompted the women to call police.

Mundschau was found by officers carrying a folding knife and Swiss army knife and taken into custody with a blood alcohol level of 0.28. After he sobered up a bit, officers interviewed him and he said he didn’t recall the events of the day, but denied pulling a knife on the women.

Mundschau is currently out of custody and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
