Hill, of Kenosha, 24, of Kenosha(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) KENOSHA, Wis. — A 24-year-old Kenosha man accused of secretly recording multiple women during intimate encounters, allegedly posting explicit videos and photographs of them online without their consent, and possessing child sexual abuse material was ordered held Wednesday on a combined $150,000 cash bond by Court Commissioner Daniel Kellum.

Man Free on $500 Bail in Felony Police Battery Case Arrested for Third OWI, Gets Only $1,500 Cash Bail
Tyler J. Thorsen, 34, of Kenosha(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) KENOSHA, Wis. — A Kenosha man who was free on just a $500 cash bail despite facing a Class H felony punishable by up to six years in prison for allegedly battering a Kenosha police officer is now accused of driving so intoxicated that police say he swerved across traffic lanes, crawled through city streets at about 10 mph, ignored repeated commands to stop, and was so impaired an officer had to reach into his Jeep and place it in park.

Liberal Judge Gives Felony OWI 4th Defendant Work Release, Continuing Kenosha Judiciary’s Soft-On-Repeat-Drunk-Drivers Trend
KENOSHA, Wis. — How many times does someone have to drive drunk before they’re actually locked in a jail cell? Once? Not in Kenosha. Twice? No. Three times? Still no. Four times—a felony offense and one that many states would have treated as a felony after a third conviction? Apparently not that, either. On Wednesday, Liberal Judge Jodi Meier (D) sentenced Graciela Oviedo, 60, of Kenosha, to 270 days of Huber work release after she pleaded guilty to felony fourth-offense operating while intoxicated. While the sentence carries a 270-day jail term on paper, the authorization of work release means Oviedo will not be confined full-time, continuing what many critics view as the Kenosha judiciary’s white-glove treatment of repeat drunk drivers. The latest conviction arose from an incident that nearly ended

Roepke told Kenosha County Eye the incident resulted from an unusual set of circumstances after a department vehicle was inadvertently left outside with its keys inside while firefighters were outfitting a new apparatus.

Twin Lakes Fire/Rescue Adds Rapid Response Truck to Improve Firefighting with Limited Staffing
