Port Washington Police Report: Woman Thinks Walking on Highway with Kids a Good Idea, Police Convince Otherwise

A 28-year-old Milwaukee woman was cited for disorderly conduct at 9:58 p.m. Saturday after attempting to leave an apartment in the 1000 block of Mineral Springs Drive with her two children with the intention of walking home to south Milwaukee.

Police visited the apartment after receiving a complaint that the Milwaukee woman was talking loudly with a 27-year-old Port Washington woman in the residence.

Police had warned the Milwaukee woman not to leave the residence in her intoxicated state, adding that walking down the highway in the 20-degree weather with her two young children was not a good idea.
