GRAFTON (WITI) — Grafton police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred at the U.S. Bank branch located in the 2300 block of Washington Street that occurred on Monday, April 15th.

The robbery occurred around 5:00 p.m. Monday.

Officials say the victim, Deonte Antonine Jones and his girlfriend Alexis Hurley-Johnson, reportedly drove from Sheboygan to the Grafton U.S. Bank to cash his federal tax return check for $5,000.00. Jones’s girlfriend, Hurley-Johnson, made arrangements with an acquaintance to meet her at the U.S. Bank parking lot to pay her rent.

Jones cashed the check and when he walked outside, the suspect, who had accompanied the acquaintance of Hurley-Johnson, pulled a handgun from his sweatshirt and demanded the $5,000.00.  The suspect, and the acquaintance of Hurley-Johnson, then left the U.S. Bank, driving what was described as an Oldsmobile SUV, green in color with silver rims.

MEQUON (WITI) — With more rain in the forecast, homeowners and emergency officials know the flooding may not be over yet!

Sharon Cardiff’s front lawn in Mequon is flooded — but she is happy.

“We were happy because it’s gone down so much from when we left,” Cardiff said.

Cardiff was out-of-town for the last few days — escaping to Manitowoc. After more than 20 years on Shoreland Drive, she has seen what a swollen Milwaukee River can do to her neighborhood.

“It’s hard to get in and out because everyone has to park their cars down by Highland and chest-waders, that kind of thing to get down to your car, get groceries…no thanks,” Cardiff said.

Mark Owen, the director of Ozaukee County Emergency Management spent Monday, April 15th touring the neighborhood. Although he said the water has receded about a foot, he noted residents are well aware there is more rain on the way.
