>Standing Water Isolates Town Of Milton Neighborhood
(Town of Milton, WI) — People living in a town of Milton neighborhood say access to their homes has been blocked since a heavy rainfall last Tuesday. Standing water covers the road, meaning people who live there have to park outside the neighborhood, then walk across one family’s yard. U-S Postal Service deliveries have been blocked for nearly a week and there has been no garbage collection. One of the biggest concerns centers on elderly residents who need their medications. That neighborhood is about three miles outside the city of Milton.

The suspect did retrieve the mirror before leaving. Witnesses describe the driver as being white, with shaved dark brown hair. Police haven’t said how serious the pedestrian’s injuries were.
>>Wisconsin Veterans Home Nurse Accused Of Stealing Pain Meds
(King, WI) — A former nurse at the Wisconsin Veterans Home in King is charged with stealing pain medications. Forty-one-year-old Alicia Krisher-Behm was hired last March.
