Overview
- Police say a coordinated group staged multiple street takeovers across Milwaukee and into Glendale over the weekend, moving from site to site as officers arrived.
- Glendale prosecutors charged Allen Mendoza, 20, after officers chased a car more than 2.6 miles at over 100 mph and stopped it with a PIT maneuver near Bayshore.
- Investigators report arresting a suspect they believe organized many of the events and say they have identified three other main suspects, with more charges expected.
- City leaders questioned why only a small number of citations, tows, and arrests followed the nine incidents as MPD also handled 165 other calls that night.
- MPD plans license-plate readers, tire-deflation devices, targeted district teams, and social-media evidence collection, and it asks people to send videos directly to police instead of posting them online.
