  1. What the helicopter says:

    He must have been from glenoma. Onalaska is just a cover. Glenoma people can not commit crimes don’t you know?

  2. Good Grief! says:

    I agree that breaking into a home is terrible! But perhaps they are evaluating for non-felony charges because of something like a mental breakdown? Or Drug Court? Or extradition back to Florida? More information is required, I think.

  3. Mad momma says:

    Exactly the damn Prosecutor’s office is so crooked it stinks to high heaven.

  4. Sunshinegirl says:

    Weird fact , a old arson cop told me that Arson is actually a sex crime. They try to film the folks that show up to watch fires . Then check them for any sex crimes . Face recognition helps with that. He said arsonists get off on fires. He said he suggested just rounding them up and checking their drawers but he got voted down , lol . I like a nice warm fire myself but I do not recollect it ever turning me on.

  5. BobbyinLC says:

    So a guy breaks into someone’s home, demands their car keys is arrested for burglary and attempted vehicle theft and the “prosecutors are evaluating the case for non-felony charges”.

    Hmmm is he related to someone? Non-felony charges for those crimes? Amazing!
