A guy in La Crosse this week-end says he was robbed. Cops appear skeptical. Police say the guy's staying at a motel near downtown. He claims he was jumped at bartime on Sunday while he was drunkenly stumbling around the motel parking lot. Cops say it seems sketchy because the guy is pretty vague about describing the three thugs who apparently took his stuff and, police say, he had a bit of a carefree attitude while being questioned about the robbery. Did the robbery actually happen? Hard to say, but the guy is missing his money, keys and ID.
Three 15 Year-Old Amigos, One Stolen TruckMonday, 09 May 2011 17:21 | | |
A week-end of adventure ends with a trip to juvie in La Crosse for three boys. Cops say the three fifteen year-olds escaped from a group home in Sparta early on Saturday morning, somehow got to La Crosse and then holed up in a friend's house for a time until the friend's mom found out. Then, they were just killing time until running across a truck on the street at a rummage sale. The boys grabbed the truck and took off as the owner watched it drive away. Cops finally tracked them down on Sunday. They suspect the boys may have also stolen a van in Sparta. UW-L Graduations To MoveMonday, 09 May 2011 12:35 | | |
