Weekly update 5/4-5/11: On 5/8 at 4:02pm, we received a call from a CVS employee that stated a customer asked her to call police. The investigation determined that an unknown scammer was attempting to scam the customer out of $14K by pretending to be a MKE Sheriff's Deputy. The scammer told the woman she needed to pay the money because she missed jury duty. The scammer kept the woman on the phone as she went to the store. This is 1000000% a scam. No law enforcement agency will meet you at a business and collect $14k for missing jury duty. Scams like these having been popping up again lately. If it seems suspicious, it probably is! Hang up the phone!
On 5/9 at 00:08, an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that was not displaying any plates. The car pulled into an apartment parking lot in the 4800blk N Lydell. The driver stated she did not have any ID with her and verbally identified herself to the officer. The officer believed she gave him fake info and had her exit the vehicle. Once out of the vehicle, the driver ran back to the vehicle, threw into drive and attempted to drive away. 🚗💨Two officers were able to pull her from the car as it rolled away. Another officer was able to put the car into park before it hit anything. The woman resisted arrest, but ultimately was arrested for 2 counts of resist/obstruct an officer. She did not have a license, and that appears to be why she attempted to flee.
On 5/10 at 4:20pm, a subject was va**ng in the CVS bathroom and set off the fire alarm for the business. He was cited for prohibited smoking indoors. 🚭
