Milwaukee, WI - A suspected Southside Halloween skull thief, William (Bill) Leary, 29, was booked in the Milwaukee County jail on December 4th for two misdemeanor counts for retail theft of less than $500 and including party to a crime for one misdemeanor count, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. A $300 cash bond bail was set for Leary. Milwaukee County court records indicate that Leary was charged in connection with two Walgreens retail thefts and is prohibited to entering any Walgreens store in the Milwaukee area. If convicted, Leary is facing 9 months in jail and up to $10,000 in fines for each count.
The first misdemeanor count for retail theft was filed in August and Leary failed to show up for a court date and forfeited his cash bail and a warrant was issued for his arrest. While being on the run, Leary was video recorded by a Southside home surveillance camera along with two other women stealing two large Halloween skulls (each weighing 20 lbs) from a house porch and he later admitted in Facebook after being recognized that indeed he did it for money. He even laughed at police for not catching up to him, since missing his court date for the first retail theft misdemeanor case.
In early December, Leary was booked for retail theft at another Walgreens after being arrested for the alleged crime. So far, Leary has not been charged for the Halloween skull theft on October 16, which was actually his birthday.
The owner of the skulls says that he paid about $100.00 for each skull.
Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) after receiving a tip from a tipster and publicizing the suspects name, Leary later admitted in his Facebook account that he actually helped steal a Halloween skull from a porch.
