MPD Issues Several Citations to Unruly Individuals
MILWAUKEE, WI – Recently, numerous individuals engaged in disorderly and unruly behavior as it relates to the downtown entertainment district. Individuals were engaged in public drinking, loitering, cruising, reckless driving and fighting. This past weekend, MPD investigated two shootings and several batteries in the vicinity, and made multiple arrests. MPD also issued 8 municipal citations and 62 traffic citations, and towed 42 vehicles.
This behavior is unacceptable and unfair to our residents, patrons and businesses. MPD continues to actively work with elected officials, area businesses and other city departments to adjust and implement a shared strategic plan to provide a safe downtown entertainment district.
MPD appreciates the community members that are assisting in bringing peace to our city. We remain committed to working collaboratively with our community, system partners and business to continue to promote civil and lawful behavior so that everyone can enjoy a safe and fun summer.
