MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Association is calling for charges against staff at Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin after they allegedly refused medical care for an officer who wouldn't remove their firearm. The police union said MPD officers carry department-issued firearms because their job demands they be prepared for criminal activity and dangerous situations at any time — including when seeking medical care.

MILWAUKEE — There’s a local connection to the high-profile deportation of a Venezuelan asylum seeker that’s made national headlines. U.S. Department of Justice records show a disgraced former Milwaukee police sergeant played a crucial role in the deportation. That former sergeant, Charles Cross Jr., is now employed as a prison contractor in San Diego for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. This was first reported by U.S.A. Today.

MILWAUKEE — In our special Lighthouse series "Duty to Disclose," we’re revisiting the tasing and arrest of former Milwaukee Bucks player Sterling Brown. Just one Milwaukee police officer, Erik Andrade, was placed on the Brady list following the arrest that made national headlines. The Brady list tracks officers with alleged credibility concerns due to past accusations of crimes, untruthfulness, bias, and other integrity issues. Brown’s attorney questions why a sergeant didn’t make the list.

MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee police officer who ran over a suspect during a high-speed chase testified in a civil trial Tuesday. The injured man, Ravid Smith, sued the City and Officer Obregon after the incident in May 2020. Officer Obregon said he thought he was running over crash debris. "I just simply thought it was accident debris, or unfortunately the city streets are terrible so a pothole, I don’t know,” Obregon said. “I did not see him." Was his body in plain sight?” Smith’s attorney asked.

MILWAUKEE — Dash camera video TMJ4's Lighthouse team first aired last month is now at the center of a civil trial that began on Monday. Ravid Smith sued the City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee police officer who ran over him during a high-speed chase. During jury selection, dozens of jurors were asked if they saw TMJ4’s story about the crash and the lawsuit. Just one juror said they could not be fair and impartial after watching it. That person was dismissed before the final jury was selected.
