Quote:Police said in a press release that the 23-year-old man who was fatally shot had a “lengthy arrest record.”
A search of Wisconsin court records revealed several arrests, but only one misdemeanor conviction for Sylville Smith. His record also included traffic offenses. No felony convictions were found.
The misdemeanor conviction, for carrying a concealed weapon, came in July 2014. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $443 and ordered to serve one day in jail.
His record also included guilty findings on traffic offenses for speeding, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, possession of open intoxicants in a motor vehicle and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license.
Smith was arrested in 2015 on a charge of intimidating a witness by a person charged with a felony, which is itself a felony offense. The case was dropped later that year by the prosecutor.
He was also charged with first-degree recklessly endangering safety, a felony, and misdemeanor possession of THC earlier in 2015. Those charges were dismissed by a judge based on a motion by the defense.
According to the Journal Sentinel, both cases stemmed from a February 2015 shooting in which he was a suspect.
Smith was accused of calling his girlfriend from jail to tell her to call the victim in the shooting case to get him to fill out a sworn affidavit saying Smith didn’t commit the crime, according to court documents obtained by the Journal Sentinel.
The victim recanted his identification of Smith and the case was dropped after the victim did not show up to court and was uncooperative, the newspaper reports.
In 2013, Smith was charged with retail theft, but that case as also dropped by the prosecutor.
Let them burn down their own neighborhoods. If I were the city, I just wouldn’t rebuild what they burn. Bulldoze it, clear it, and leave it empty. If they don’t respect the area in which they live, they don’t deserve to have those conveniences anyway. It is no coincidence that in nearly every neighborhood in America that is a majority black population, is a shithole. They do this to themselves. Let them have it.
My thoughts exactly. I figured they were referring to the Bucks.
You guys ever hear of the Great Migration? In the first half of the 20th Century millions of Blacks moved out of the South to the Midwest for industrial jobs. Milwaukee was one of those cities.
We're not talking Chippewa Falls here. Milwaukee is only about 90 miles outside of Chicago.
