Police Blotter: Shorewood Crime Wave!

 A few weeks ago, the Shorewood Patch relayed the Shorewood Police Department's of their activity (or lack thereof), when the force handled a total of three incidents — by their own telling — in seven days.

Well, Shorewood's finest outdid themselves this time. This week, the police are telling us they took care of a whopping ONE THING over the course of the whole week.

Now, Shorewood may be and filled with good-hearted people, but we have to think there's a little more going on than that. Don't they ever find any drugs in all those cars they pull over?

Well if they do, they're keeping it a secret. All we know about is the one thing they're admitting to doing. Even though the Shorewood Patch did witness them pulling over a car on Brookshore Drive the other day. Hey, how come they're not telling us about that?

At any rate, without further ado, here is the one matter the Shorewood police reportedly troubled themselves with last week:

Taking care of business at 7-Eleven

A Plainfield man was jailed for allegedly stealing food from the Cottage Street 7-Eleven.

Michael Jakab, 27, of 2204 Willow Lakes Drive was arrested about 2 a.m. and hauled down to the county jail on a charge of retail theft.

The police said Jakab stole "miscellaneous food items."

It was not known if Jakab planned to consume the allegedly stolen property to fuel some sort of food addiction.
