Automatic license plate readers help lead to arrest of two individuals in Wisconsin

SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. (WFRV) – Authorities in southern Wisconsin are crediting automatic license plate readers with aiding in the arrest of two individuals with active warrants. According to the Sun Prairie Police Department, shortly before 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, officers received an alert about a vehicle linked to an individual with active warrants held by the Dane County Sheriff's Office. Search for missing Wisconsin teenager hits two-year anniversary Officers located the vehicle unoccupied in a lot near Schiller Street and began coordinating a tactical response to the scene. As officers moved into position, two individuals fled on foot, prompting the establishment of a perimeter across several residential streets. Officers were assisted by other law enforcement agencies, drone teams, and multiple residents who reported sightings of the individuals. 'Their timely observations played a key role in locating both suspects,' said the Sun Prairie Police Department in a media release. During the search, 28-year-old Carlton Forbes of Madison jumped into the back of an uninvolved, occupied Jeep and ordered the driver to flee. Officers intervened and safely took him into custody. A short time later, 27-year-old Marsean White of Sun Prairie was located near West Main Street and also taken into custody without incident. Both Forbes and White were arrested for resisting arrest and booked into the Dane County Jail. White was additionally booked on multiple warrants for disorderly conduct and battery. 'This incident highlights the proactive work of Sun Prairie officers, the effective use of technology, strong partnerships with regional agencies, and the vital role of community involvement,' said the Sun Prairie Police Department.

25th annual teen police academy gives high schoolers hands-on look at law enforcement careers

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Area high school students interested in pursuing careers in law enforcement got an up-close look at the profession during the 25th annual multi-jurisdictional teen police academy. The program provides students the opportunity to engage with local law enforcement agencies and learn about various roles beyond the traditional patrol officer. Children's Museum of Green Bay promotes healthy choices through new 'Taste of Summer' event 'Definitely more to it than just a cop on a street or a cop on TV,' said Stella Starry, a second-year attendee and student at Notre Dame Academy. 'I've learned about the different options that you have. It's not just a patrol officer that you see on TV—it's more that you can do, and it's so many behind-the-scenes work that happens too.' On Wednesday, students were introduced to the Green Bay Police Department's K-9 unit. Police dog Nox joined them in the classroom, where students observed how K-9s are trained and how they assist officers on calls. The academy is open to high school students in the area and is designed to help them determine whether law enforcement might be the right career path. Kemps partners with Midwest food banks, donates nearly 800,000 milk cartons including 30,000 in Wisconsin 'They really get a behind-the-scenes feel of what it is like to become a police officer,' said Green Bay Police Communications Coordinator Jennifer Gonzalez. 'It is a perfect program for kids in high school who are just thinking about what to do after high school, what to do in college.' Students will conclude their weeklong experience at the Brown County Sheriff's Office, touring the facility and learning about officers' daily responsibilities. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
