GRAFTON

Let’s pretent it didn’t happen

- Officers were dispatched to the corner of Washington Street and Cheyenne Avenue last Thursday after a vehicle knocked over a traffic light that then obstructed the westbound, left-hand turn lane.

A witness of the crash saw the suspect get out of his large-sized vehicle after striking the pole and take a quick look around before driving away.

One of the officers decided to search nearby company parking lots on the village’s east side due to the extent of the damage to the light pole, assuming the vehicle would be too damaged to drive far.

The hunch paid off, as the suspect, a 19-year-old Hubertus man, and his badly damaged truck were discovered directly north of the crash site in the Leeson Company parking lot.

The teen spent nearly two hours in the parking lot, the same amount of time it took police to clean up the crash site, and was waiting for a tow truck to pick up his vehicle.

The man told the officer he hit the pole after dozing off behind the wheel while driving to his third-shift retail job in Grafton.

He also admitted to calling his mother and manager via cell phone about the accident, but didn’t notify police because he assumed they already knew his whereabouts.

The teen received a number of citations, including charges for a hit and run and operating with a suspended license.

Hardly a difficult theft

- An unknown suspect stole more than $4,500 in construction tools last week at an unfinished home in the 1900 block of Valley Court.

A number of high quality tools were removed from the site, including two gas-powered nail guns, a hammer drill and circular saw.

No physical evidence was found at the scene except for a set of adult footprints leading to and from the site.

CEDARBURG

Connoisseur on the cheap

- A Mequon woman was cited for retail theft after she was spotted on video surveillance cameras picking up two bottles of expensive wine at Olsen’s Piggly Wiggly in Mequon, leaving the store without paying for them.

A manager at the store called police Feb. 2 to say he noticed the two bottles of Rombaurer Char-donnay were missing from the store shelves. He was suspicious because the $29 bottles of wine were not big sellers, according to the police report.

He checked cash register tape from the previous day and did not see a purchase for the wine. That is when he looked at the surveillance tapes and saw the woman pick up the bottles of wine, but not pay for them at the check-out counter.
