Glendale police chase into Milwaukee ends with crash, driver charged

article

MILWAUKEE – A Milwaukee man is charged with multiple felonies after a police chase and multi-vehicle crash on Saturday, May 11.

Prosecutors accuse 34-year-old Pierre Webb of leading Glendale officers on a pursuit into Milwaukee before crashing and running off.

According to a criminal complaint, a license plate was reported stolen in Milwaukee on May 10. Glendale officers were alerted to a white Kia bearing that license plate in the area of Port Washington and Hampton around 4:30 p.m. the next day. Prosecutors said the Kia, itself, was not stolen.

An officer soon found the Kia in a Bayshore Mall parking garage, per the complaint. The officer alerted other squads and started to follow the Kia onto Silver Spring Drive when the Kia “immediately” accelerated and ran a red light – sparking a pursuit.

The chase stretched west down Silver Spring before turning onto Green Bay Avenue, police said. The Kia swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid stop sticks that were set near the intersection of Green Bay and Hampton Avenue, police said, before crashing into two other vehicles: a Nissan and a Ford.

A woman and her baby were in the Ford, the complaint states; the woman hurt her knee. The driver of the Nissan had a neck injury.

The complaint states the pursuit stretched 2.16 miles with a top speed estimated at 97 mph. Prosecutors said the fleeing Kia also nearly hit a pedestrian during the chase; that pedestrian told police the Kia came within feet of him.

The driver, later identified as Webb, ran off from the crash scene but was arrested nearby, the complaint states. During a foot chase, an officer fell head-first into a squad and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Stolen Oak Creek couple’s car found by viewer dumped near Milwaukee apartment complex

MILWAUKEE — An Oak Creek couple’s stolen car has been found after a viewer who saw a report on the theft spotted it near a south side Milwaukee apartment complex.

Melinna Posey said the ordeal began when her car was stolen and she turned to social media for help. A person who responded claimed to have the vehicle and demanded money for its return. The person messaging even taunted her, discarding some of the items inside the car.

Personal items were inside the vehicle, including the family’s car seat, stroller, cameras and photos.

“It’s been very stressful, especially for him. It’s his vehicle, it’s in his name,” Posey said.

I spoke to Posey on Tuesday. Since then, she and Tyler Dusenberry had been searching for the car. On Thursday, the couple received a message from someone who saw the story on TMJ4. That person found the car at a south side Milwaukee apartment complex and shared pictures of the red Dodge Durango SRT between trees and a building, covered in tarps.

“I didn’t believe the text message at first today, and then he sent pictures of the car, and I was like, thank the lord, I was like thank you so much,” Posey said.

“It’s a roller coaster that’s what it’s been,” Dusenberry said.

Oak Creek Police picked up the car and are processing it for evidence. The family has not yet been able to see the inside of the vehicle or what, if anything, was left behind.

The family said they are grateful to everyone who helped them this week, but said the entire experience will be tough to get over.

“It’s just unfortunate that this all happened, and we had a lot of memories and trips within that vehicle so it’s just a little life-changing to be honest,” Dusenberry said.

,000 worth of Milwaukee tools stolen in Plover

PLOVER, Wis. (WBAY) – Police in the western part of the state are spreading the word after someone stole over $95,000 worth of Milwaukee-brand tools. Police are concerned that they’ll be sold online or sold outside the state.

Milwaukee-brand tools were stolen from a trailer at a solar farm in Plover.

Police say there were 130 items, including more than 40 half-inch impact guns, multiple wire cutters, grease guns, 80 batteries, and a couple of small generators.

Investigators are warning that buyers who purchase stolen items can have them seized and could lose their money or even face criminal charges if they knew the property was stolen.
