Two Men Face Arraignment For Thefts In Wisconsin
Two young men Dick Dull and Jerry Green charged with the November 26 burglary and theft from the Running Club in Cashton are to be arraigned in Circuit Court. They were bound over after a Monroe County hearing where a motion to dismiss Green’s charges was denied. Police tracked a car fleeing a roadblock to Vernon County where Dull was detained near Avalanche and Green was arrested in Westby. The case centers on a disturbance reported by Vernon Running and his wife, with witnesses linking jackets and boots to the suspects. Evidence includes $868 and a purse of quarters recovered from the car.
