NAMES REVEALED IN MEQUON POT BUST

MEQUON POLICE BUSY WITH POT BUSTS

By Michael Horne

According to court records, the two 19 year old men charged yesterday in a bust of four pounds of high-grade marijuana nugs in Mequon are Kevin P. Jacobs and Sean M. Irwin, They were arrested at a duplex farmhouse, a rarity in the prosperous city, and the only one on Range Line Road north of the City of Glendale. The 19^th century home is located just south of the venerable Range Line Inn. And, unfortunately for Irwin and Jacobs, it lies immediately north of Lakeshore Middle School, which subjects the pair to penalty enhancements under Wisconsin Statutes 961.49(1m)(b)6, “possession with intent to deliver / distribute a controlled substance on or near a school,” a felony.

The pair list an address of 7108 Tamarack Court, Mequon, a private street in the Mequon Trail Townhomes subdivision. (Rental apartments in Mequon! What has become of that beloved city of my childhood!) For now, however, they reside in the Ozaukee County Jail on $5,000 cash bond each.

Their next appearance before Judge Tom R. Wolfgram will be on June 6^th, 2007. The judge will be busy that day with other recent Mequon marijuana cases including those of 20-year-olds Patrick R. Gunther and Guenther J. Moorbeck, also residents of Ozaukee County’s largest city. Both were charged this week. Gunther is free on a $250 signature bond, and Moorbeck is out on a $2,500 signature bond. Both are charged with felonies.

When I was a young un’ we didn’t have crime like this in Mequon. All the pot dealers had moved to Milwaukee.

KENSETH KINSHIP CASE SETTLED

Dad to Pay Son's Racing Expenses

A settlement was reached May 16th, 2007 in the reopened paternity suit involving NASCAR racer and Wisconsin native Matt Kenseth. The Calumet County case, 1993PA000080PJ had been scheduled for a June trial.
Milwaukeeworld reported on the case on May 10th, and numerous NASCAR blogs followed suit, as did a lively conversation among many who posted comments on this website, (q.v.).
According to the stipulation and order, "a separate agreement to cover racing expenses [of Kenseth's son Ross] has been executed by both parties." The details are sealed, and the original stipulation and order of 2000 remains in effect without modification.
It ends with the tantalizing statement: "Future changes in circumstances and issues preserved are outlined."

McGEE, IN INAUGURAL SPEECH, THANKED "UNCLE AL STEWART" FOR MAKING HIM "CHAMPION I AM TODAY"

"Newly inaugurated Alderman (6th) Michael McGee, Jr. thanked his mother in his inaugural address, which was fine. Then he went on: 'a lot of people think my father just hatched me. My father is not the criminal people think he is. So don't say he's Saddam Hussein and I'm Saddam Hussein, Jr. We don't play that.'

"McGee also modestly complimented his uncle Al Stewart saying, 'he made me into the champion I am today.' McGee, who considers himself to be a "political entrepreneur," gave the audience at the inaugural a sense of his legislative priorities. 'We have to address the transatlantic slave trade.' Won't this be a fun four years?"
--Michael Horne, Milwaukeeworld.com April 26th, 2004

The above comments, with emphasis added, were from Ald. Michael McGee's memorable inaugural address, as recorded by your correspondent.

As of this writing, champ McGee and his Uncle Al (photo) are sitting in Milwaukee County Jail on sealed charges of substantial battery, and are scheduled to go before the judge, at which time more information will be available. Joining them in the holding tank is Dimitrius Jackson, who some speculate might be a relative of McGee (nee Jackson). Interestingly, it is Uncle Al who can trace consanguinity to the noble lineage of the sixth district alderman, according to the great man himself. (The Journal Sentinel says it is unclear what the relationship with McGee is.)

Dimitrius Jackson, born June 27th, 1968, is a felon who was most recently convicted of being a felon in posession of a firearm, a felony. His son, Dimitrius "Tank" Jackson, 22, died on April 7th, 2007 when he collapsed at a Black Student Union dance at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student union. There is no immediate apparent familial connection between the alderman and Jackson, Sr., but they will have plenty of time to contemplate their genealogies as they sit in jail.

McGee will make an appearance on his state charges this afternoon, Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 at 2 p.m. in Room 316 of the Safety Building, 821 W. State St. Judge Dennis P. Moroney, of Branch 20, Milwaukee County Circuit Court may choose to unseal the case documents at that time. The bond amounts for McGee and his co-defendants will be reviewed, and probable cause issues will be addressed, as is commonplace for such a court event. A spokesperson for District Attorney John Chisholm says in the event the judge does not unseal the documents, the issues "will be handled" expeditiously.
