A SUV crashed into Belair Cantina at Drexel Town Square in Oak Creek Wednesday around 9:30 a.m.

Oak Creek Police say it appears the 37-year-old woman driving the SUV had some sort of medical emergency before crashing. No one was injured.

But the damage to Belair Cantina is substantial. The SUV went through the main entrance of the building. There was broken glass and twisted metal. The owner and manager of the restaurant declined to comment. By the end of the day, a temporary covered the huge hole in the building.

“I head sirens and when I looked out the window, I couldn’t believe there was a car sticking out of Belair!” said Vicki Piotrowski.

“I was immediately bummed, because we love going there,” said Travis Piotrowski. “We’re just so relieved no one was hurt. Our hearts go out to everyone involved. The driver, and the people who work there. It affects their livelihood.”

So far, there’s no word on when the restaurant will reopen for business.

Driver has medical emergency, crashes into popular restaurant

The 10-year-old Milwaukee boy accused of shooting and killing his mother because she woke him up early and refused to buy him video game equipment faced a judge Friday afternoon.

The boy appeared in juvenile court for his preliminary hearing. He walked into court and sat next to his defense team who had a stuffed animal waiting for him to hold during proceedings. He couldn't take it back with him into juvenile detention. He also waved to family members as he walked out.

Though the family did not want to talk, in previous interviews they shared the boy has mental health issues, which ended up being the focus of Friday's proceedings. The boy’s defense attorney, Angela Cunningham, requested the 10-year-old undergo a competency evaluation with a doctor.

10-year-old accused of killing mother to undergo competency evaluation

It's a topic that often comes with heated debate: should people in Wisconsin have to prove they are working or are looking for a job in order to receive welfare benefits?

The issue is heating up again in Madison. Wisconsin lawmakers will vote Tuesday on whether to add an advisory referendum to the April election ballot. It would ask whether able-bodied, childless adults should be required to look for work in order to receive state welfare benefits.

It's a move led by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu - both Republicans.

“I don't agree with it,” said Angle Whitelow. “I am on welfare, I don’t have a job, and it’s hard to find a job. It would make life harder for so many people. It feels like a hit on the poor and disadvantaged. Some jobs prefer higher education, I may not have that. Others prefer a clean background; some people may not have that.”

If passed, the referendum would have no effect. But political experts say it's an issue that conservatives are passionate about.

Lawmakers to vote on whether to add welfare question to April ballot

Tamira Greene lives a few houses down from where an 11-year-old boy was shot in his own home Wednesday night. 

Police markings show at least seven holes where bullets pierced the siding of the house and front door.

Milwaukee Police are still investigating what led to this crime. No one is in custody for it.

It happened around 6:15 p.m. on North 65th Street near West Silver Spring Drive.

“I heard the gunshots and dropped down to the floor,” Greene said. “Then I find out it’s an innocent little boy who got hit. I see him every day on his way to school.”

Greene is fed up with people not speaking up when they know who’s responsible for crimes like this.

11-year-old boy shot in his home, neighbors fed up with crime

Community organizers announced their demands for change after another inmate died in the Milwaukee County Jail on Sunday.

Octaviano Juarez-Corro, 49, was found unresponsive in his cell Sunday morning and could not be revived despite lifesaving measures, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. The incident is being investigated by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department.

On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (MAARPR) issued a statement noting that Juarez-Corro's death is part of a troubling trend of inmate deaths at the same jail. MAARPR called for changes to promote accountability and transparency.

The alliance demanded: full transparency in the investigation of Milwaukee County Jail deaths, officials release names of people involved within 24 hours and related videos within 48 hours, as well as the creation of an elected civilian police accountability council.

Activists demand changes after another inmate death at county jail

The 10-year-old Milwaukee boy accused of killing his mother over a VR headset returned to court on Thursday for a motion hearing.

The 10-year-old, who TMJ4 News is not naming because of a judge's ruling blocking the release of his name, is charged with 1st-Degree Intentional Homicide.

On Thursday, the judge dismissed a second count of 1st-Degree Reckless Homicide against the child after the state and defense reached an agreement.

If the case goes to trial in an adult court, he would receive a mandatory life sentence under the intentional homicide count if convicted by a jury.

Court will resume on Jan. 27 for a preliminary hearing to determine probable cause. The defense is also expected to argue against original jurisdiction to have the case remanded to juvenile court.

When it comes to pinball, you likely won't find anyone better in the state than David Daluga, who has won three of the last four state titles. He's got the hardware and the cash prizes in the bank to prove it.

“I believe I get a w9 form in the mail this year from pinball winnings, so I could definitely say professional pinball player," Daluga said.

While David might have the pinball crown right now, he’s putting it all on the line and defending his title this weekend. He will be one of the people to beat at the Wisconsin State Pinball Championships held in De Pere, near Green Bay, on Jan 21. In fact, District 82, where the tournament will be held, is one of the largest pinball arcades in the world. It is also home to the upcoming North American National Championship.

Ever since the start of the pandemic, driver’s education students in Wisconsin have been able to get a license without taking a road test with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

That waiver is still in effect as long as the student’s parent offers consent.

The D.M.V. says it wants to make the waiver permanent, but some driver’s education instructors think it’s making the roads more dangerous.

Going to the D.M.V. for a road test is usually the last step for new drivers to prove they’re prepared to safely drive the streets before getting their license. That hasn’t been the case for a majority of 16 and 17-year-olds coming out of driver’s education over the past few years.

The D.M.V. says 108,000 road test waivers have been approved. That makes up 87 percent of driver’s education students who have received their license since May 2020.

DMV wants to make road test waiver program permanent

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has barred a Kenosha senior living center from taking in new residents until it complies with health and safety standards.

The state's Division of Quality Assurance investigated Parkside Manor Assisted Living and Memory Care following the death of an 89-year-old resident on Dec 19.

According to police, she was found outside the facility and died from exposure to the cold. Neither police nor Parkside Manor has identified the woman.

The state's investigation found that the woman had been admitted to Parkside with dementia, though upon initial assessment of her health, she did not exhibit "behavioral issues" or "wander."

However, she began to wander and eventually attempted to exit the facility several times, according to the investigation. None of those interventions or a need to increase her supervision level were noted in her individualized service plan, the investigation shows.

Today is nice... but Wednesday is looking a little bit snowy

When you think of the work of a district attorney’s office, images of courtrooms, criminal cases and convictions typically come to mind.

But there’s a group of prosecutors from the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office who spend more time in specific neighborhoods than at the courthouse. They make up the Community Prosecution Unit, which has been slowly building back up after budget constraints.

Recent Stories from tmj4.com

In the back of Milwaukee Police District 6 on the city’s south side, is Assistant District Attorney Francesco Mineo’s new office. He is this MPD district’s community prosecutor — something the neighborhood hasn’t had in more than 10 years.

“It gives the DA’s office the ability to really understand what this district and individuals who live here need,” said Mineo. “What their concerns and issues with safety are.”

Mineo goes out with police officers, and workers from the Departments of Corrections and Neighborhood Services, to look deeper into the places and people causing problems in the area. He checks in daily with neighbors, businesses and organizations.
