Police Catch Oak Creek Youth Playing 'Paranoia': Report

OAK CREEK, WI — Police in Oak Creek are reporting that the water game "Paranoia" is apparently been active in the area again, this time over the weekend in the area of S. Shepard Ave. and E. Fitzsimmons Rd.

According to police reports, a resident in that area was concerned about a suspicious blue Toyota SUV driving around the neighborhood a number of times just after 5:30 a.m. on May 10.

When police responded to the area, they found the suspicious vehicle and pulled it over, according to reports. Police say the responding officer asked the driver why he was driving so many times in the area, to which he replied, "I'd better not say, it's a school thing."

A police sergeant also responded, and spoke with the young man, who said that he was in the middle of playing a water gun game called "Paranoia," according to reports. Police issued the driver a verbal warning for speed and driving with an obstructed view and also warned him of potential actions - and consequences - of playing the game.
