A Milwaukee police officer has been charged with two counts of battery of members of a north side church in December after officers chased a suspect inside during Sunday night services. Church elders burst into applause after Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm announced the charges against Shawn Humitz, 26, who was suspended this week. He is charged with kicking two church members and striking one of them with his nightstick.
"Thank God for the charges," Willie Lewis, pastor of the Family Worship Center Pentecostal Church of Holiness, said in the courthouse hallway. <... Read more

Ex-borough police chief indict
Former Clayton police chief Frank Winters, already facing charges of stealing $150,000 from Mothers Against Drunk Driving, was indicted Friday on charges of stealing from the borough and its police department.
Winters, 61, of Newfield, resigned as the borough's top law enforcement officer April 24 after he was charged, along with his wife, Bernice, 56, with stealing from MADD. The two allegedly billed the nonprofit organization for purchases of promotional items that were never supplied from companies the couple controlled -- Holiday House and Lasting Impact.
The latest indictment alleges Winters billed Clayton Borough in connection with fictitious purchases for the police department from Holiday House, and that he also stole a high-end digital camcorder and a digital camera he purchased for the police department with borough funds.
According to the indictment, Winters billed the borough $989.94 for December 2004 purchases from Holiday House of high intensity flashlights for DUI checkpoints and "child crisis bears," which are stuffed animals given to children by officers in times of family crisis. The items were never supplied to the police department.
In addition, it is alleged Winters stole a $2,495 digital camcorder he purchased for the police department from a camera company in November 2004 using borough funds. The camcorder was never used for police business.
Similarly, Winters allegedly stole a $1,200 digital camera he purchased for the department in May 2006 from a camera shop.
In making the purchases for the police department from Holiday House, Winters allegedly concealed the fact he owned the company and was using his position as chief in order to generate profits for himself in violation of state ethics laws.
The state grand jury indictment charges Winters with official misconduct, pattern official misconduct, theft by unlawful taking and theft by deception.
