Also, you may have noticed police with rifles stationed outside an Oak Creek residence on Nicholson Avenue this week. Here’s what happened, according to South Milwaukee Police Department Lt. Cary Fischer:
At about 10:00pm on 12/19/2010 the Oak Creek Police Department took a report of a home invasion armed robbery of a residence on Susan Dr. The offender was a drug addict known to the victim. The weapon was reported to be a pistol of some sort. The offender was believed to reside at 1601 Nicholson Avenue Unit F. We responded with Oak Creek Officers to that location and found the door smashed in. We cleared the residence and found it empty of people. Small amounts of drugs and paraphernalia were in plain view and were confiscated. There was very little furniture or possessions in the apartment as the offender did not live there long.
I left two officers armed with rifles to watch the residence in an unmarked car. They were only there a few minutes when the suspect pulled up in his car at around 11:00pm. He was taken into custody without resistance. No one was injured. Him and his vehicle were promptly turned over to Oak Creek.
Finally, charges have been brought against a man accused in a shooting at the Drew’s Spot bar on St. Patrick’s Day in 2008, according to South Milwaukee police. The charges against Daniel Newman were “read in” to the record recently as he was sentenced to more than 25 years in prison and 17 years probation for other convictions.
