CEDARBURG

Illegal brush

Police reported there were two potential littering violations from residents placing piles of brush on the curb near their homes.

Drunken driving:

A 70-year-old Cedarburg man was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving at about 10 p.m. on Jan. 17 on Pioneer Road near McKinley Court. The man was initially stopped for changing lanes without signaling while traveling eastbound on Pioneer Road. Tests showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.14.

Theft

A 17-year-old male student at Cedarburg High School reported on Jan. 17 that someone had stolen his wallet from his locker while he was in gym class. The wallet contained a driver's license, debit card, bank card and $40 gift card to an electronics store.

GRAFTON

Criminal damage to property

Police believe that the same vandals threw rocks and smashed three large windows, 10-feet by 5-feet each, on the east side of the indoor swimming pool at Grafton High School and did the same thing to three smaller windows at Kennedy Elementary School. School officials did not have an immediate estimate on the damage. The vandalism occurred sometime overnight Jan. 27.

Vandals broke two 4-foot-by 4-foot windows at the Brooks Stevens Design Center, 866 Badger Circle, and two side windows on a Ford Econoline van parked near the studio overnight Jan. 27. Police believe that a high-powered projectile was used to break the windows.

Someone smashed an outdoor plastic mailbox in the 300 block of W. Thornapple Lane between 6:30 and 8 p.m. Jan. 31.

Underage drinking party

Police have cited a 32-year-old Grafton man on suspicion of getting liquor for four teens -- two Grafton girls, 16 and 17, and two Grafton males, 15 and 18. The man had a blood-alcohol level of 0.20. All the teens were cited on suspicion of underage drinking. Acting on a tip, police broke up the apartment party in the 1200 block of 13th Ave. at 11:30 p.m. Jan. 31. The 16-year-old girl also was ticketed on suspicion of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Stolen wallet

Someone stole a Port Washington woman's wallet when she set it aside to take care of her crying baby. The wallet had $78 in cash. The theft occurred at the Grafton Kohl's Department Store about 3:30 p.m. Jan. 31. It was the second wallet stolen at the store in the last two months.

Found pit bull

A West Bend man found an apparently abandoned pit bull in the Target parking lot about 7:30 p.m. Jan. 31. He took the animal to the Grafton Police Station, and police turned the dog over to the Ozaukee Humane Society.

PORT WASHINGTON

Break-in

Approximately $50 in cash was taken from the Port Amoco gas station during the evening of Feb. 1. A station employee told police someone broke a window at the station and took the cash box.

Disorderly patron

State charges of disorderly conduct have been requested for a 22- year-old Port Washington man who was arrested Feb. 2 in the parking lot of Harbor Hills. An officer on a patrol noticed a crowd in the night spot's parking lot and went to investigate. He found two people holding the 22-year-old man who was trying to start a fight. The man first agreed to get into the squad car to calm down, but then became belligerent, got out of the car and began swearing at the officer. He also laid on the pavement and refused to get back in the car.

Disorderly drivers

Two 18-year-old Port Washington men were cited Jan. 31 for driving in circles near the intersection of Ashley and Niagara streets.

Fake prescription

A 27-year-old woman was arrested Jan. 29 after police said she fraudulently tried to obtain a prescription for the drug Vicoprofen. The drug is a painkiller similar to Vicodin. Police say the woman left a message on a pharmacy's answering service, saying she worked for a local doctor and ordering the prescription. The pharmacy became suspicious when no dosage was noted in the order. A pharmacist called the doctor whose name was on the answering machine. He said he had not issued a prescription to the woman. Police arrested her when she came to the pharmacy.
