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

Waukesha Police Department calls from Nov. 19.

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.

In other Waukesha police calls:

  • A juvenile was aggressive toward school staff at 8:43 a.m. Monday at Waukesha North High School, attempting to grab at their jugular vein and genitals.

The man admitted to dispatch he was involved in a hit-and-run accident near Summit Avenue and Moreland Boulevard three years ago. The man was advised the accident wasn’t reportable unless it was a criminal incident. The man was then warned about the proper use of 911. The man told dispatch if his friend came to him,  he would “bash his skull in.”
  • A man was not wearing a shirt and acting strangely in Grandview Park at 9:06 p.m. Monday. Police made contact with the man, who was acting agitated. It was unknown why the man was acting agitated but he was advised by police.

there is something seriously wrong with people in Waukesha . they see things and make up what they don't know.
that's just as disruptive. then when they actually see something they 'never saw it' because they don't want to "get involved"

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but IRead More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army

I am fine with this service--its great. However being handicapped does not mean employees need toRead More give up their breaks or other customers need to let you cut in line in front of their service needs.
