BYOB: Shorewood Man Brings His Own Beer to Local Bar

A roundup of the latest from the Shorewood police reports.

 

Bar patrons typically look to the bartenders at their local tavern to supply them with a drink on a night out, but on Tuesday a 63-year-old Shorewood man took his beverage needs into his own hands.

Shorewood's American Legion Hall, 4121 N. Wilson Dr., phoned Shorewood police after the man brought his own beer and grabbed a seat on the bar's patio at 4:51 p.m.

Police say a week earlier, he was asked to leave the legion post after being involved in a fight.

The man received a warning from police.

Also in the police report:

  • A 46-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested Monday for concealing and attempting to walk out of Sendik’s, 4027 N. Oakland Ave., with about $10 worth of merchandise. The incident occurred at 11:29 a.m., and items included $5 worth of sausage, $5 worth of beans and rice and a .50 cent apple.
  • A resident called police after he arrived home at 7 p.m. on Thursday to find a 2001 Dodge Stratus parked in his driveway in the 4200 block of North Murray Avenue. Police say the Stratus had been reported stolen in Milwaukee, and was towed and the vehicle owner contacted.
