MILWAUKEE – The wintry mix on Tuesday, Jan. 23 added more problems for many Milwaukee residents having to deal with slushy and slippery road conditions.
Many residents in the city, particularly in the 5th District, are dealing with inches of slush they say hasn’t been touched by the Department of Public Works. But some city leaders are hoping to change that.
Driving on slushy, slippery roads is something Haven Goggans said he’s had to navigate every time he leaves his home.

“Pretty much just rolled over,” Goggans, a UPS driver, said. “Mowed over, partially treated.”
He lives on Milwaukee’s north side.
“The side streets have been the same for quite a few days,” he said.
When it comes to some of the driving conditions there, many of the side roads are covered in several inches of slush.
“Literally, you are driving through these streets, and you feel like you are on an amusement ride,” District 5 Alderman Lamont Westmoreland said.

Many of the side roads are covered in several inches of slush and are still waiting to be plowed and salted by the DPW.
“I am getting complaints nonstop via phone, via email,” Westmoreland said.
Westmoreland said the residents deserve not only answers, but a solution from DPW.

“It’s been like this for two days – I haven’t seen a plow come through here,” he said. “I am sick and tired of just talking about it. It has to get better and I want to hear a concrete plan.”
Westmoreland said the city’s Public Works Committee will be discussing DPW’s snow operations in Wednesday’s meeting.
“Hopefully we can get some answers,” he said. “Not excuses, answers on how we can be better and move forward.”

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
