Police Beat: A Border Dispute And An Angry Caller

Not everybody takes criticism lightly, and earlier this week one supervisor at MTI Electronics saw a case-in-point example.

On Aug. 26, the supervisor questioned an employee about a quality control issue, which prompted the employee to walk off the job later in the day.

Three days later, on Monday, a Hispanic man arrived at 10 a.m. claiming he had an interview with the supervisor. However, the supervisor was unavailable. A short time later, the supervisor received back-to-back threatening calls with strong racial overtones from a Hispanic man.

The man also claimed to still be on the MTI premises, but the supervisor believes he may know who was responsible. The attempted to contact both the employee and the possible suspect, but all associated phone numbers had been disconnected.

MTI requested extra patrols on their site, and wanted the suspect to be warned of his disorderly actions once he was identified. 

Also in the reports:

• Between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. Aug. 27, an unknown person entered through the kitchen window of a home on the W12000 block of Mill Road by cutting the screen. The suspect stole a $20 bill, a battery charger. Eight gallons of gasoline were also taken from the garage. Police have identified the suspect, who has previously entered the home without permission.
• Sometimes between 8 a.m. Aug. 23 and 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, a person cut the lock on a work vehicle parked at , N57W13264 Reichert Ave, and stole a number of tools from a work vehicle. No evidence was recovered from the scene.
• At 7:05 p.m. Monday a group of suspects stole boxes of cigars from the Marathon gas station, N48W14738 Lisbon Rd. One suspect entered the station; a second acted as a lookout, and a third suspect ran back to the vehicle and drove them away. Two of the suspects were recognized from a similar theft that occurred earlier in the year.
• A 19-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested at 11:31 p.m. Aug. 28 for driving with a revoked license privileges resulting from an OWI offense. The man was pulled over after failing to dim his high-beam headlights near Appleton Avenue and North Hills Drive.
• Between 12:53 a.m. Aug. 9 and 2:28 a.m. Aug. 29, someone sprayed graffiti on the east wall underneath the railroad trestle at Town Hall Road and Mill Road.
• Two neighbors along the N7200 Lilly Road got into a dispute about the boundaries of their properties at 10:18 a.m. Aug. 27. One of the neighbors had put up a temporary mesh where he believed the property line was. The other neighbor contracted a professional surveyor to mark where he believed the property line was. Both individuals have markings where they believe their properties ended. A village official is expected to check the property to establish the true boundary.
