Cudahy Teen Charged In Robbery Of South Milwaukee’s King’s Row Liquor

A 17-year-old Cudahy boy has been charged in the alleged May armed robbery of King’s Row Liquor in South Milwaukee.

Nathan Warrix faces one count of armed robbery and has his preliminary hearing set for July 17 in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. He is subject to electronic monitoring until then, court records show.

Here are the case details.

Warrix also has several other oustanding charges, including another felony charge for drug possession and several misdemeanor charges for retail theft, online court records show. I’ll keep you posted … and congratulations to the South Milwaukee Police Department on the arrest.

Appeals Court Upholds South Milwaukee Sex Offender Ordinance

Call it a win for South Milwaukee citizens.

On Wednesday, a state appeals ruled in favor of South Milwaukee’s ordinance that prohibits sex offenders from living near schools.

You may recall the challenge from Todd Kester, who wanted to live near Lakeview Elementary.

In his suit, he claimed the ordinance was unconstitutional because it created additional punishment, and he wasn’t given the opportunity to show he wasn’t a danger. The First District Court of Appeals in Madison disagreed, and I’m glad to see common sense – and neighborhood safety – prevailed on this one.

See the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story here. And here is the full ruling.

Of course, I’d like to know what you think about this. Post your comments below!
