SHEBOYGAN, Wis.—
A 26-year-old Sheboygan man is charged with slapping two young boys for letting his pet frog briefly escape.
Christopher D. Sipe faces a preliminary hearing Wednesday on two counts of felony child abuse. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
A Sheboygan Press report (http://bit.ly/qTe8dI ) says Sipe was living with the boys' mother. The criminal complaint says he discovered his frog missing earlier this month. Sipe told investigators that even after it was found, he acknowledged hitting the boys "very hard" because he thought they were responsible.
Prosecutors say Sipe had been drinking before he struck the boys, ages 8 and 6. Both boys had large red and blue marks between their noses and ears.
Defense attorney Casey Hoff says Sipe plans to plead not guilty.

Adell man faces 4th OWI after allegedly driving drunk to pick up wife at jail
A 52-year-old rural Adell man was charged Tuesday with his fourth offense of drunken driving after allegedly driving drunk to the Sheboygan County Jail to pick up his wife, who had also been arrested earlier in the day on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Steven D. Casarez, of 643 Highway BB, was charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, his fourth offense in five years, and faces up to three years in prison and three years probation.
According to the complaint, Casarez on Sunday drove to the jail to pick up his wife, but was turned away after corrections officers gave him a preliminary Breathalyzer test and found that he had a blood alcohol level of 0.13.
Corrections officers saw Casarez walking to his car and called police, who later pulled Casarez over for driving erratically.
Casarez told police he had been out drinking at multiple bars in the Cedar Grove area and then drove to Sheboygan to pick up his wife.

Free TV in Sheboygan Home on Craiglist
Another classic, this one found on the WHBL site in Sheboygan...
http://whbl.com/news/articles/2011/may/09/free-tv-sheboygan-home-hoax/
Sheboygan, Wis. (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man who placed a neighbor’s large screen TV on Craigslist as a joke over the weekend could be headed to prison. 50 year old Anthony Berry has been charged with identity theft after placing an ad on Craigslist advertising a free 50 inch Sanyo TV that his neighbor had inside his home. According to the criminal complaint, officers were called when someone responding to the ad called police, concerned that the ad wasn’t real. When officers arrived on the scene, they noted a few other individuals who replied to the ad and showed up for the free TV. When the homeowner returned, he assumed it was his neighbor, Berry, playing a practical joke as Berry does sell things for the homeowner from time to time on craigslist. Berry confessed to the posting, and said he did it because the neighbor owed him money for the things he’d posted on craigslist for him. If convicted, Berry could spend 6 years in prison.

Sheboygan Woman Charged in 54 Year Old Murder
Another story from Sheboygan. This one from WHBL, AM 1340.
http://whbl.com/news/articles/2011/jan/31/sheboygan-woman-charged-54-year-old-murder/
Sheboygan, Wis. (WHBL)- A shocking story unfolding in the city of Sheboygan today. An elderly Sheboygan woman was arrested at 9 o’clock this morning on a charge of 2nd degree murder in the death of her infant daughter 54 years ago. Sheboygan Police said it took a sibling who came forward about two years ago and then dozens of interviews by Detectives Paul Hamman and Paul Olsen. Olsen said 74 year old Ruby Klokow has admitted to throwing her 6 month old daughter Jeaneen onto a couch because she was upset with her other children. Klokow was arrested at her home this morning. Olsen said the incident occurred in a home which no longer exists and was located where the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department is now located. Olsen said it was a long and difficult investigation because many of the key people involved have since died and there was no physical evidence preserved from the case. He said at the time of the death it was listed as suspicious but no arrests were ever made, although the child had died of severe head injuries. At the time, Klokow told officers the infant was injured in a fall from the couch. Hamman said the woman worked at a local factory until she retired and is currently doing part-time cleaning. She is now being held in the county jail pending a court appearance tomorrow morning on a charge of 2nd degree murder.

DECEMBER 7--What kind of a woman bites off her 79-year-old husband’s tongue and then poses for a mug shot flashing her pearly whites?
Meet Karen Lueders.
The 57-year-old Wisconsin woman was arrested Monday evening on a felony mayhem-domestic violence count after she allegedly bit off half of her husband Willard’s tongue while kissing him, according to investigators.
Willard Lueders was transported to a hospital about 50 miles from the couple’s Sheboygan home, so doctors could attempt to re-attach the tongue.
It is unclear why Karen, pictured in the above mug shot, bit off Willard’s tongue. Though Willard--in written responses to police questions--said that his wife was a in "manic state" when he was attacked, and had been "talking very fast and talking about spiritual things" over the past few days.
Willard said that he had gotten up at around 11:15 PM to go to the bathroom, where his wife was sitting on the toilet. “He advised that he kissed her while she was sitting on the toilet and that she had gone into a manic state, biting off his tongue,” according to a criminal complaint filed today. Willard added that his wife had also grabbed his penis.
Responding to a 911 call from Willard, police found Karen outside their home, where she was singing Christmas carols with a New Year's horn in her hand.
According to a page on the Faith Alliance Church web site, Karen Lueders is a “full-time Activity Director for the elderly” who shares “a music ministry named ‘His Harmony’” with her husband. Lueders, the church notes, “teaches good thoughts in Christ are mandatory for a life of love and service.”
In April, Lueders, who has two grown daughters and five grandchildren, spoke at a women’s church seminar entitled “Misfeeding Our Appetites.” Lueders lectured attendees on how to “Gain understanding into what you are really hungry for, ‘retrain your brain,’ and seek out what will really fill you up. Live the life God intends for you to live!”

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. —
A Wisconsin pilot has been detained in the Dominican Republic after authorities found over 300 pounds of cocaine hidden in the plane, operated by Milwaukee-based Air Cargo Carriers.http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-wi-dominicanrepublic,0,6993091.story

Dominican authorities have also detained 18 military and government officials in the case.
Joe Kuranz said Saturday his son has not been jailed but he and his co-pilot aren't allowed to leave the country.
