Brookfield police arrested a 27-year-old Burbank man on Dec. 10.
Around 11 p.m., an officer was sitting on patrol in a parking lot when they saw a gray Honda ignore the stop sign at the intersection of Grand Boulevard and Washington Avenue at Eight Corners. The officer turned on their emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop on the 3400 block of Grand.
The officer made contact with the driver, who said he did not have his driver’s license on his person, though he provided the officer with his name. The officer ran his information through the police database and learned his license had been suspended since September 2020. The man provided proof of insurance that showed the insurance had expired more than a year ago.
The officer told the man he would be cited for disregarding a stop sign, driving on a suspended license and operating an uninsured vehicle and that his car would be towed. Due to the cold weather, the officer suggested transporting the man to the police department to wait for a ride rather than leaving him outside, to which the man agreed.
Police set a Jan. 13, 2026, court date for the man and he was allowed to go on his way.
Possible attempted theft
Brookfield police on Dec. 10 responded to a report of a theft from a vehicle. No one was arrested.
Around 10:52 p.m., an officer was dispatched on the report to the intersection of Southview and Oak avenues, where they found a white box truck operated by Five Star Energy Services that had been working on the village’s sewers, police said.
The officer spoke with the driver, who said he had been in a room in the box of the truck with the door closed when he noticed two men inside the rest of the box, one of whom had his hand on a piece of camera equipment. The man said he opened the door and told them to leave, after which he followed them north on Oak Avenue to the alleyway north of Southview Avenue. There, they got into a white SUV that left to the south on Sunnyside Avenue, the man told police.
The man could only describe the men’s clothes to the officer and said the box truck did not have cameras. The man agreed to sign a complaint if police could find the two men in question.
According to police, the officer checked the intersection for cameras and found none, and two Ring cameras in the neighborhood did not capture any relevant footage.
