According to the criminal complaint, Corey Broady, 40 and Corey Broady Jr., 19, both admitted involvement in the theft of a Ford Taurus from a residence in the City of Pewaukee on Friday. They allegedly told police they came to the area with a third individual to enter vehi- cles and steal money and other items. The third individual, who has not been charged, allegedly stole the Taurus and drove all three to Hartland to look for other vehicles. While there, they abandoned the Taurus and fled in a stolen Honda Accord, the com- plaint says. Officers spotted the Accord and began to follow it but stopped because of the reckless speed. The vehicle later crashed. The Broadys allegedly told police they fled from the crash on foot and were returning to Milwaukee. Both men entered not guilty pleas Monday. A $1,500 cash bond was set for Broady Jr. and a $1,000 cash bond was set for Broady. Milwaukee man tased after allegedly attempting to break into cars WAUKESHA — A Milwaukee man allegedly damaged multiple cars he attempted to break into at a Waukesha car dealership before he was tased by police. Caleb S. Garner, 24, was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Sept. 10 with four counts of criminal damage to property and one count of resisting an officer. He faces up to 45 months in prison if convicted on all counts. According to the criminal complaint, Waukesha police were dispatched to Pick 'n Save, 1535 E. Moreland Blvd., for a report of a man attempting to break into a vehicle there, but by the time they arrived, the suspect had fled to another area. Staff at a nearby dealership then saw the suspect, identified as Garner, attempting to break into several more vehicles there, both those on the lot and some belonging to employees, according to the complaint. Many of these vehicles suffered damage from attempts to get inside. Officers located Garner and although he was initially compliant with their demands, he allegedly began to resist arrest and was tased two times. A BB gun with the orange tip removed was found in his possession, and a knife with a metal butt referred to as a "glass breaker" was found inside a vehicle Garner was allegedly hiding in. Garner is due in court for a hearing Oct. 12. State still on pace for fourth fewest traffic fatalities since World War II MILWAUKEE — There were 61 fatalities on Wisconsin roadways in August, the most of any month this year, according to a release from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Despite the high total, last month was the fourth safest August since World War II for traffic deaths. The highest total was 154 in 1969. "In the last five years, August on average has been the worst month for traffic fatali- ties," said David Pabst, director of the DOT's Bureau of Transportation Safety. Wisconsin has had 356 traffic fatalities this year, 39 more than the same period last year. As of Aug. 30, 54 of those fatalities have been in Milwaukee County. There were 66 in the county in all of 2014. Pabst noted many motorcyclists will be on fall rides around the state in the coming weeks. He encouraged drivers to watch for motorcyclists, especially at intersections and while making turns and lane changes.

He said a majority of state lawmakers have signed onto the bill, with 42 representa- tives and 10 senators as co-sponsors. The bill would let researchers use tissue from fetuses aborted before Jan. 1, but not later.
