Authorities say the bandit has struck the same toilet dozens of times

SHEBOYGAN, Wisconsin  — Cops are on a desperate hunt to stop a serial toilet bandit who keeps clogging a public restroom john, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage.

The sick prankster has hit the same toilet in the women’s bathroom at the Deland Community Center numerous times over the past 18 months, the Sheboygan, Wisconsin police say. Whoever is responsible has repeatedly shoved a 20 ounce soda into the pipe, which has resulted in major, costly plumbing repairs.

“Why do this? I do not know, but if you help us find the person, I will tell you. This is very strange… and gross, but that is the reality of life,” the department wrote on its Facebook page.

The city has had to spend “thousands of dollars in repair and labor costs,” not to mention the inconvenience of having a public restroom out of service.

“We are currently looking to find the said person or persons to hold them accountable. Please help us to keep our parks clean and safe for our residents and visitors,” the department said.

Pimp Sean Hayes hit a little too close to home in finding a new worker for his escort business

MILWAUKEE — A mother’s love only goes so far.

A Milwaukee pimp was busted after his mother, who is a high school teacher, turned him in for prostituting one of her students.

Sean Hayes, 50, is accused of approaching the 17-year-old girl who was living in a group home as she waited for the bus, telling her she could be a model and giving her a card for “Shining Stars Adult Entertainment,” cops said.

The following day, Hayes had sex with her and then got her into the sex trade. Between August and October of last year, he had the girl — who worked under the name “Honey” — travel to Waukesha, Wauwatosa, Green Bay and Chicago to have sex for money, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, citing the criminal complaint.

But then the girl told her teacher at James E. Groppi High School, who happened to be Hayes’ mother, that she was working for him as an escort. She then called the cops.

Hayes has denied the allegations. He says he was approached by a girl by the name Honey, but that he wouldn’t let her work for him because she wouldn’t show him identification.

Hayes is scheduled to go to trial June 18 on sex trafficking charges.

This is what a bad barber butcher job looks like

MADISON, Wisconsin — It was a case of assault and barbering.

A Wisconsin hair cutter has been charged with disorderly conduct after nipping the ear of a fidgety customer with scissors and then buzzing a reverse mohawk on the top of the man’s head with electric clippers.

Madison police say the 22-year-old customer went to the Ruby Salon to get an inch off the top and the sides of his head buzzed. But cops say barber Khaled Shabani, 46, began twisting the man’s ear after complaining he wasn’t sitting still, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

Shabani is accused of then snipping the man’s ear with the scissors and then running the clippers down the middle of his head, “leaving him looking a bit like Larry from the ‘Three Stooges,’” police spokesman Joel DeSpain said.

The customer was forced to get his head shaved at a different barbershop.

“While it is not a crime to give someone a bad haircut, you will get arrested for intentionally snipping their ear with a scissors,” DeSpain said.

A woman living nearby had called cops saying the noise had woken her up.

When the officer knocked on the window, he found 21-year-old Bailey Puttkemery and 20-year-old Emily Scott, both of La Crosse, both nude and going at it in the backseat.

The officer ordered the pair to stop and then waited for them to dress. But when they didn’t emerge from the car after five minutes, the saw that they had gone back to having sex, police said.

When the officer opened the door he says Puttkemery tried to pull it shut before accusing the cop of “cock blocking” him.

“You’re a man. You should understand. It’s Oktoberfest weekend,” police quoted Puttkemery saying as he stood nude outside the car.

Both Puttkemery and Scott were charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, although the district attorney’s office later opted not to prosecute.

Teen Reaches Deal to Avoid Jail Time in Terrifying Slender Man Stabbing

By HardBoiledNews Staff Leave a Comment

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin  — A teen who stabbed a classmate 19 times in a chilling bid to impress a fictional online character known as the Slender Man, has reached a deal with prosecutors  to send her to a psychiatric hospital instead of jail.

Morgan Geyser, 15, was one of two girls who attempted to kill their classmate in the woods in 2014 in a terrifying outburst of violence when they were just 12-years-old.

They said they did it because they  believed that it would keep the Slender Man, a shadowy, horror figure that exists mainly online, from harming their families.

The victim, Payton Leutner, who was also 12 at the time of the attack, survived and managed to crawl out of the woods and get help from a passing cyclist.

Geyser’s co-defendant, Anissa Weier, pleaded guilty last month to reduced charges and a jury found her mentally ill so she will serve at least three years in a psychiatric hospital.

The girls were charged as adults because of the severity of the crime, but during mental health evaluations, Geyser was diagnosed with early-onset schizophrenia. Weier was also diagnosed as being delusional.

The Slender Man myth emerged online about a decade ago, with the fictional character, often described as exceedingly tall and with very long arms,  terrorizing children and threatening danger against their families.

KENOSHA, Wisconsin — He almost got away.

A drunken 24-year-old Wisconsin man led police on a wild, high-speed chase that ended with him jumping 25 feet off an elevated roadway and narrowly avoiding being hit by a car below, authorities said.

The Kenosha County Sheriff’s office said officers spotted the man driving a Nissan 350Z on I-94 on Tuesday and attempted to stop him for driving with an illegal temporary registration.

But instead of pulling over, the driver hit the gas and raced off at speeds of over 100 miles per hour. With officers in hot pursuit, the man lost control and struck the median.

He then got out of the car and ran from cops, leaping off the elevated roadway and hitting the ground 25 feet below where a car had to swerve to avoid hitting him.

He was severely injured in the fall and was taken by helicopter to a nearby hospital in critical condition. An 18-year-old passenger who was in the vehicle was also taken to the hospital with injuries from the crash.

The driver, whose name has not been released, has been charged with DWI, hit and run and fleeing from police.

Trace Schofield (left)), Desmond Trok (center) and Matthew Jones (right) were charged in the poorly planned drug deal.

ELLSWORTH, Wisconsin — All that weed must have dulled these boys’ senses.

Three dopey drug-dealing teens made it too easy for cops in Wisconsin by negotiating the sale of a quarter pound of marijuana just steps away from a police station and in plain view of several officers.

Prosecutors say the dim-witted trio pulled into a gas station parking lot on March 9, right next to the Pierce County law enforcement center to make the deal, according to the Woodbury Bulletin.

What they didn’t notice as they tried to exchange the bundle of weed, was a nine-year veteran of the St. Croix Valley Drug Task Force pumping gas into his squad car on one side of them, and a sheriff’s deputy and Department of Natural Resources warden on the other.

Both officers immediately contacted police dispatchers and the teens — identified as Desmond Trok, 18, Matthew P. Jones, 18 and Trace Schofield, 17  — were pulled over and arrested a short way away from the gas station where the deal went down.

The three teens were charged with delivering THC, a felony.

An investigation led cops to a student at the local high school who they say admitted to have arranged the deal.
