SHEBOYGAN - Sheboygan police busted a marijuana grow operation after being called to an apartment to stop an alleged axe attack.
Police arrested two brothers, ages 38 and 41, as well as the 36-year-old girlfriend of the younger brother, after the incident on the 1600 block of St. Clair Ave. around 6 p.m. Sunday. The girlfriend ran to the police station to tell officers the 41-year-old had struck her boyfriend several times with the axe, which was in a sheath. When police arrived, they surrounded the apartment and called the 38-year-old out. He had a small cut on his leg with some dried blood on it. He denied that anyone else was in the apartment, but the older brother eventually came out.
Police then went into the apartment and found marijuana plants growing throughout. With a search warrant, police took 20 marijuana plants, several large bags of marijuana, a rifle, two shotguns, a pistol and four axes.

Semi truck collision leaves 40,000 pounds of meat scattered on roadway

A two-semi crash in Sheboygan County early Friday left both drivers injured and a mess of 40,000 pounds of meat products scattered across the roadway, sheriff's officials reported this morning.
Emergency crews transported both drivers to St. Nicholas Hospital with non-life threatening injuries after the crash, which was reported at 12:57 a.m. near I-43 southbound and County Highway AA in the Town of Holland.
The interstate was closed for several hours but re-opened just before 6:30 a.m.
Dewitt Road, where much of the boxes of meat spilled, will remain closed for an undetermined amount of time during cleanup, according to Sheboygan County sheriff's Lt. Chad Broeren.
Sheriff's deputies investigating the crash learned that that two semi tractor-trailers were both southbound on I-43 when the second semi hit the rear end of the lead semi.
After being struck, the first semi continued southbound and eventually pulled off of the roadway.
The second semi traveled after the initial collision into a guard rail, then a bridge face before rolling several times down the embankment. It came to rest under I-43 on Dewitt Road after spilling its entire load of meat products onto the roadway.
Sheriff's officials report that the semi and trailer sustained severe damage with the passenger compartment and motor separating from the chassis as it rolled.

Meat Products are strewn around near Dewitt Road and I-43 in Sheboygan County Friday after two trucks collided closing the southbound freeway for a while overnight. The freeway is now open but the cleanup is still going on as fire personnel and others clean up the meat.

Sheboygan Press staff • February 23, 2009
Sheboygan Police captured a car thief early this morning with help from an unlikely ally — snow.
According to the release from the department, a 42-year-old Sheboygan man was arrested after he allegedly stole a car from a woman at around 2 a.m. in the area of South 10th Street and Broadway Avenue.
Police said the husband of the victim called police, saying his wife was picking him up at a friend’s house, and while she waiting for him in the vehicle with the engine running a man approached the car and got in. The suspect grabbed the victim, shook her and told her to get out of the car, police said.
Fearing for her safety, the woman got out of the car and ran to the house. Her husband was leaving at the same time, and saw the suspect driving away in the car.
While checking the area a short time later, Police Officer Brandon Kehoe found the suspect trying to break free from a snowdrift in the stolen car several blocks away and arrested the man. No one else was in the vehicle.
The suspect, who was not identified by police, faces charges of robbery and second-offense OWI. He also had an outstanding bench warrant.
The victim’s car was not damaged.

Bouncers face charges in beating of patron at Muskego bar
Okay, its not Sheboygan, but I feel its still just as bizarre and close to home. The last line is the part that makes it bizarre.
Bouncers face charges in beating of patron at Muskego bar
By Jacqui Seibel of the Journal Sentinel
Posted: Feb. 20, 2009
Muskego - Two bouncers at Bushy's Pub & Grill are facing criminal charges accusing them of beating a patron until he was unconscious, police said.
Eric R. Hummer, 42, of Waukesha told police he needed staples to close a head wound and suffered a concussion, a broken rib and other bumps and bruises from two bouncers at the popular bar. He says he did nothing to provoke the assault, according to the police report.
The Jan. 17 incident sparked a flurry of posts to Craigslist, including one from a witness who said he didn't know any of the parties and was visiting Bushy's for the first time the night of the incident. After posting his account on the online site he reported what he witnessed to police. According to the police report, one of the bouncers responded to the Craigslist post by the witness, telling him that Hummer charged at the bouncers.
Police are recommending that the Waukesha County district attorney charge the bouncers, a 27-year-old Milwaukee man and a 32-year-old Hales Corners man, with felony battery, Capt. John LaTour said.
According to the police report:
Hummer and a friend were at Bushy's on Janesville Road about midnight Jan. 16. After finishing one beer, they each ordered a second and a male bartender threw a stack of napkins at them.
Hummer and his friend said they were confused by this because they didn't spill anything. Then the bartender told them they were causing trouble and had to leave, the police report says. The friend was trying to ask the bartender what was going on when Hummer was grabbed by the two bouncers and forced to the ground.
The bouncers held his arms, kicked Hummer in the side and struck him in the face. The bouncers then picked up Hummer, already bloody and bruised, pushed him toward the door and then outside and to the ground. As he fell, Hummer's head struck a jagged stone pillar.
Hummer's friend told police Hummer was unconscious and blood was pouring from his head as he lay outside.
Hummer reported the beating to police Jan. 19, the same day the man who had posted to Craigslist called police. The witness said he walked outside to see Hummer "out cold" and blood coming from his head.
The bartender told police he asked the bouncers to remove the men from the bar because Hummer refused to put a coaster under his beer, the report says.

Man Gets Six Years For Stealing Piggy Bank

Wisconsin Man Has Criminal Past
POSTED: 7:46 am CDT September 22, 2008
UPDATED: 10:17 am CDT September 22, 2008
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- A man has been convicted of sneaking into a 2-year-old girl's bedroom and stealing $20 from a piggy bank while she slept and was sentenced to six years in prison.
Four-time convicted burglar Ryan Mueller was convicted last week after a two-day jury trial of felony burglary as a repeat offender. The 31-year-old from Sheboygan Falls was accused of breaking into the Town of Wilson home last August of 2007. The girl's mother Julie Herschleb walked into the room as Mueller shook money from the bank. She told Judge L. Edward Stengel the burglary left her fearful and sleepless. Stengel also sentenced Mueller to five years probation, which would be consecutive to a six-year prison sentence Stengel handed down in June for another burglary conviction.
