Actually, I take part of that back – police have already asked for the public's help (see last paragraph of story). Just not through partial/inadequate descriptions. Note that the police say the robbers' faces were covered.

Police have now released a description of the getaway car (see updated story). They have not released descriptions of any of the perpetrators. They almost never release individual subject descriptions during the initial search and investigation. Maybe in a couple days, if they have no leads to go on, they might give us photos from the bank video cameras and ask for the public's help.

Inadequate descriptions for identification. The witness was at some distance, was looking through foliage or from a window, was hurried and distraught, and could give only a couple of vague parameters.

ReplyUpon review, I wish to clarify a careless misstatement I made in this story, since corrected in the text. I originally said the DA didn't believe the state could prove the suspect had stolen the Nook reader and phone. I should have said (as it now reads), the DA did not believe he could prove the suspect "knew the Nook and display phone were stolen."
That is not splitting hairs. Obviously, the two items were stolen – the police proved that. The real question was not even whether the man in custody had stolen them himself but whether he was knowingly in possession of stolen property. That was the charge sought.
Because both items had been stolen long before but those thefts had not been reported and hence not investigated – and because the suspect doggedly stuck to his story that he didn't know they were stolen – the DA was probably right to decline that charge.

Yes, as noted, the probation office finally did put a violation hold on him and he was sent to jail. But what happened after that is unknown. Since he wasn't charged, it's possible he was just released. But it's also possible that just having the BB gun was a probation violation, whether he was charged or not, and he may have gotten some mandatory lockup time. These records are not available to me.

No Wauwatosa police officer has ever before died in the line of duty.

Hi, Paul. I'll have to check with the authorities to see whether the 16-year-old arrested was waived into adult court. If not, no information will be released. As to the second actor, if I recall, he was not arrested as of the last reports I saw. Again, I'll have to check and see whether an arrest was made. Thanks for the reminder.

Maybe a little semi-sarcastic, Sharpie. As the rest of the sentence suggests, hidden in any way at all is "relatively" better than leaving them out in plain sight.
