Saukville Man Charged After Kicking in Mom's Door to Get Food

A 29-year-old Saukville man is facing charges after he allegedly kicked in the door of his mother’s apartment so he could get some food and then went to another apartment in the same complex.

Daniel M. Lazer was charged in Ozaukee County Circuit Court on Jan. 25 with one count of criminal damage to property, one count of resisting an officer and one count of disorderly conduct. If convicted, he could face up to 21 months in prison and $21,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

On Jan. 24, police were called to an apartment in the 400 block of North Dries Street after Lazer went to his mother’s apartment and kicked in the door because she refused to let him in because of his drug abuse issues. Once in the apartment, Lazer took some food and went to another apartment in the same complex.

Police then went to the other apartment, however, the people inside refused to open the door. After police tried for 45 minutes, an officer then went outside and saw Lazer coming out of a window. Lazer began running after seeing the officer, but was eventually taken into custody.

Lazer is free on a $1,000 signature bond while awaiting trial.
