OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - A man believed to have stolen a computer from one store and breaking in to another in Oshkosh last weekend is being sought.

Oshkosh police say the man, pictured above, went into Walmart, 351 S. Washburn Street just before midnight Sunday night. The suspect remained in the store for nearly two hours and left around 1:15 a.m. carrying a stolen laptop computer.

Then around 1:30 a.m., the man was seen on surveillance video near Fleet Farm, 177 N. Washburn Street. About 3 hours later, police say he left with items from that store.

The man is described as white with a medium build and dark hair. He was wearing a sweatshirt, blue jeans and white athletic shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Paul Frey at (920) 236-5267. Anonymous tips can be left with Winnebago County Wide Crime Stoppers by phone at (920) 231-8477, by sending a text message with the keyword IGOTYA to 274637 or online.

MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) - Residents in Manitowoc County are being warned about suspicious phone calls being made asking them for money or personal information by an alleged Sheriff's Department employee to clear a warrant.

According to deputies, multiple residents have contacted them saying they were called by a person asking for money or personal information claiming to be from the agency. The caller would say there was a Federal Complaint filed with the Department of Justice and there was an active warrant issued.

Authorities say the most disturbing part about the calls is that residents have checked their caller ID and the phone number displayed is the general phone line for the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department, 683-4200. This means that unauthorized callers somehow were able to insert the sheriff's office number into the caller ID to make it appear legitimate.

Manitowoc County Sheriff's deputies say they do not ask for any type of payment for warrants over the phone. As a general rule, payments to law enforcement are made at the agencies and you will get a proper receipt.

If you have any doubts about the call being legitimate, hang up the phone and call the sheriff’s office at (920) 683-4200 and press option #1. The dispatcher will be able to confirm if the call is legitimate.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - We're learning more about what was inside a south side Appleton apartment after a 32-year-old man was arrested Thursday for breaking into a neighbor's apartment during a drug-fueled episode.

Police say investigators obtained search warrants to look through Steven Meyer's electronics to see if he had any plans to use the chemicals inside the apartment in the 2600 block of S. Kerry Lane.

FOX 11 reports that one of those search warrants reveals that investigators uncovered several glass containers and bottles, some with labels, including "acetone", "sulfuric acid", and "red-flammable". Also found inside Meyer's apartment was marijuana, a pipe and a gas mask.

“The chemicals themselves are not illegal to possess,” Appleton Police Capt. Todd Freeman told FOX 11. “While they might not be something you find in every house, with a lot of these cases it comes down to what was the plan, if any, to use them.”

Authorities' say they still can’t rule out the chemicals could have been for drugs.

“There may be some odd nexus that we’re not aware of,” said Freeman.

Meyer was arrested early Thursday for breaking into his female neighbor’s apartment. Officers found him in the hallway, half-naked and sweating. The search warrant indicates the suspect said, "he had taken one Oxycodone pill and one unknown pill.”

While Meyer remains in the Winnebago County jail, a neighbor of his who calls him a friend, says the chemicals are part of a harmless hobby.

“He likes chemistry,” Rick Wells told FOX 11. “He likes to look at that and stuff. He likes buying and selling it on the internet. That’s what he does.”

Wells says his neighbor showed him the chemicals.

“He told me which ones were bad, which ones were good, the ones that if you do this or do that,” said Wells. “He knows about it otherwise he wouldn’t have it.”

“He wouldn’t go out and blow people up or make bombs,” said Wells. “He just likes that stuff. He’s got foreign money up there, he likes collecting foreign money. He likes collecting these little vials of stuff like that.”

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Police arrested a 21-year-old man they say robbed the Burger King restaurant on S. Military Avenue Friday night.

The robbery happened just after 10 p.m., while the restaurant was still open.

The suspect used what police say was either a BB gun or a dart gun during the robbery.

A Green Bay Police K9 unit found the man in a dumpster across the street.

Police recovered his weapon and the cash that he allegedly stole.

No one was injured and police say the public is not in danger.

ALLOUEZ, WI (WTAQ) - An event near Green Bay Sunday raised awareness about missing persons.

A makeshift wall was set up at Heritage Hill State Park, which had photos of numerous people who have long disappeared -- and no one has come forward to say where they might be.

Marsha Loritz organized the event after her mother, Victoria Prokopovitz of Pittsfield, vanished two years ago from her home. She told FOX 11 she feels helpless, because there's nothing she can to do to help find her mother.

The event was designed to give families of the missing a voice, and to remind us that those people will never be forgotten.

Brenda Lefeber spoke in honor of her brother, Steve Woelfel. She said he's been missing since June 7th of 2004.

According to the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children and Adults, about 1,000 people in the state were missing as of last November. Almost 700 were children.

TOWN OF MATTESON, WI (WTAQ) - Authorities say a Clintonville area woman was hospitalized following a motorcycle crash.

It happened on 7th Street in the Waupaca County Township of Matteson around 7 p.m. Sunday.

Police say the 41-year-old woman struck a ditch and then went into a field. The extent of her injuries is unknown at this time.

OCONTO COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - The U.S. Forest Service says it cannot afford to keep losing hundreds of thousands of dollars at its campsites.

That's why this fall's federal budget would reduce services at the national forests by 11 percent.

Last week, three Wisconsin GOP lawmakers claimed that the agency's deficit would disappear if Washington allowed the state to run the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, and sell the timber that's cut there.

Assembly Republican Jeff Mursau of Crivitz said the federal government would not have to put a nickel into the state's only national forest.

However, Hilary Markin of the U.S. Forest Service says a takeover by Madison would be much more complicated than it sounds. She tells FOX 11 that there's no mechanism for a state to take over a national forest -- and that means Congress would have to approve such a change, along with all the appropriations that go with it.

She said some sites in the Chequamegon-Nicolet would have reduced services, while others would shut down for good. That includes the Green Lake picnic area near Mountain.

Markin said it cannot be helped, because overnight camping visits have dropped 20 percent over the past five years. She said that if somebody's favorite spot closes, a similar one is most likely down the road with the same amenities.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - We now know what restaurant will be featured inside the Lambeau Field Atrium this season.

The Green Bay Packers and their food and beverage service partner announced Tuesday the new venture named 1919 Kitchen & Tap.

"Obviously the name is a tribute to the great history of the Packers," says Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy. "I think having it right here on the Atrium floor, I believe it's going to be well received by our fans."

Officials say 1919 Kitchen & Tap will feature industrial, yet warm and rustic finishes, with copper beer lines and exposed brick, to complement Lambeau Field’s welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. The interior will also include several nods to Packers history.

Delaware North Sportservice General Manager Charlie Millerwise says it features an open kitchen concept with a menu he believes will set the new standard for dining in Northeast Wisconsin.

"It gives guests the opportunity to hear, smell and see their food being prepared right in front of them," Millerwise says. "We've long had the goal of taking local, familiar favorites and turning them into a unique, chef-driven menu."

Millerwise says they will source local ingredients and work with area farmers. The space, which will have a regular capacity of 350, will include a full bar with 80 beer taps, wine selections and hand-crafted cocktails.

100 of those seats will be available in their new outdoor patio outside the Miller Lite Gate.

The 1919 Kitchen & Tap is scheduled to open in late July, and replaces Curly’s Pub, which had operated on the Atrium’s second floor since 2003.

“We’ve been enhancing our visitor experience here in the Atrium over the past couple years, and this new restaurant with its location across from the new Hall of Fame will be convenient for all our guests. The restaurant, with its excellent food and atmosphere, will be a great addition to the Atrium,” Murphy says.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - An overnight fire in Green Bay has destroyed an apartment complex, putting about 66 residents out of a home.

The call came in just before midnight Monday to the Sand and Sun Apartment complex on Danz Avenue. That's on the city's east side.

Green Bay Metro Fire Lt. Nick Craig says the cause is unknown, but the blaze is believed to have started in a utility room in the basement area.

"We're looking at about $700,000, building, damages, the building is a complete loss and then the contents that were in the apartment," Craig says.

All of the residents made it out safely.

American Red Cross volunteer Diane Knutson translated for many of the Spanish speaking residents who were displaced.

“One lady was telling me that she had burned out of a place completely, where she lived several years ago, and so the memories of that all come back and the losses. A lot of the things that are the real losses for people are the sentimental things you can’t replace,” Knutson told FOX 11.

About 15 volunteers are helping the residents, while Danz Elementary School’s gym is being used as a temporary shelter.

This devastating fire is reminding some folks of another blaze that completely destroyed an entire apartment complex nearly two years ago. That was the Hilltop Place Apartments in Allouez.

Lt. Craig says both buildings were built around the same time with the same fire protection system.

"It did not have fire breaks in the attic to stop the fire from spreading from one end of the building to the other and it also didn't have sprinklers," says Craig. "Once things got going, they went rather quickly just like Hilltop."

Craig says one reminder for everyone who rents, it's important that you have insurance just in case this happens to you.

"One apartment that we know of had renters insurance," Craig says. "In this day and age, to replace all your belongings and potentially protect you in civil court if it's proven that you caused the fire is well worth that 8 to 12 dollars a month."

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - A northeast Wisconsin man is accused of stabbing his father in the face, and setting fire to the home they shared.

22-year-old Andrew Johnson of Oneida is being held under a quarter-million dollar bond on five felony charges that include attempted homicide, reckless endangerment, aggravated battery, and arson.

According to prosecutors, Johnson stabbed his father outside the home on March 21st, and then set fire to the structure. Authorities said an argument led to the stabbing.

After that, officials said Johnson's father and uncle went into the house, called 911, and locked the doors -- and the defendant then grabbed a gas container and threw it at the house to get it to start burning.

According to online court records, a request for a mental competency exam is pending for Johnson. No new court dates have been set.
