Police Report: Umbrella Mistaken for Samurai Sword; Vehicle Break-ins; Disruptive Students

The following information was supplied by the Waukesha Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.

A man wearing a mask and black winter clothes while carrying an umbrella prompted a few looks Monday morning.

The man was walking near West St. Paul and North Prairie avenues at 9:40 a.m. when a caller noticed him. The caller told police the man was carrying a Samurai sword.

Police made contact with the man, who said he was walking to work. Police noted it was an umbrella the man was carrying – not a sword.

But that didn’t stop a second person to call about the man about 20 minutes later.
