Milwaukee County’s D.A. wants more jail time for car thieves.
District Attorney John Chisholm yesterday said it’s tough to get tough on car thieves when the penalty for a conviction is just two years in prison and two years on probation. Milwaukee has seen a spike in car thefts over the past two years. Last year, thieves stole more cars in Milwaukee than in Chicago. Chisholm says Wisconsin lawmakers should consider increasing the prison term for car theft in the state.
