MILWAUKEE — 17-year-old Dvarion Beamon is charged with two felonies for allegedly leading police on a four-county high-speed chase that ended in Kenosha County at I-94 and County Hwy. C.

Three other teens have been charged as well. They include Jarmel Gatewood, Darrell Thompson and Fred Gillespie who are being charged with misdemeanors for knowingly riding in a stolen vehicle.

According to the criminal complaint, Kelly Nichols from ABC Daycare told police the 2002 white Chrysler Town and Country minivan used in the high-speed chase was stolen from her business the day before Beamon led police on the multi-county chase. Beamon told police in the complaint, “Vans are easy to steal,” going on to say he used a hammer and screwdriver to peel away the steering column.

MILWAUKEE — Ten brand new homes in five days.  That’s Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity’s goal as part of its annual “Build-a-Thon.”  This year, the project has the backing of the Brew Crew’s star slugger.

More than a million swings of a hammer, 200,000 nails and 8,000 hours of labor go into building the rough frame for 10 new homes on the city’s north side.  Starting Monday, May 14th and for the next five days, 250 volunteers will work near 17th and Locust for the organization’s blitz build.

“A hundred AmeriCorps members have joined us from 15 states across the country. There’ll be walls, the roof, everything.  Windows will be installed. It’s a fun environment, doing something really good for the community and for the homeowner,” Habitat’s Executive Director Brian Sonderman said.
