Police Report: Man Walks into Police Station with Drug Paraphernalia

A Shorewood teenager was arrested Tuesday for battery after he punched a man in the face near the intersection of North Wilson Drive and East Capitol Drive.

Police say the victim approached the teen saying derogatory things, because the teen looked like someone he knew. Turns out, the man didn’t know the teen and they got into a verbal argument.

The man told the teenager, if he wanted to fight, he would have to throw the first punch — and he did, cutting the victim's lip in the process, according to police.

Also in the police report:

• A 26-year-old Muskego man was taken into custody after he walked the Shorewood police station, 3936 N. Murray Ave., with drug paraphernalia and an open warrant for his arrest. Police didn’t have details related to the warrant as of Thursday.

• A man became the victim of a scammer Tuesday when he deposited $757 into a bank account for concert tickets. The victim told police he placed an ad on Craigslist looking for concert tickets. Someone answer the ad and said he would mail the tickets after the $757 was deposited into his account. The victim received a tracking number, which police say was fake, but no ticket. The victim was able to get his money back as the bank put a stop on the deposit.
