Short Walk Home From Bar Not Short Enough
Stopping to relieve himself outside a Bayshore store just steps from his apartment triggered a whole lot of trouble for a local television reporter.
It's been immortalized on radio morning shows such as Dave and Carole and Kramp and Adler ... here's this week's installment of strange and incredible suburban crime, OMG PD.
Stay classy, Milwaukee
Normally, a leak works out to a reporter’s benefit.
Oldie but goodie
Glad to know the kids still like the deliver-huge-pizza-orders-to-unsuspecting-recipients trick.
Not your typical errands
First the post office, then the grocery, then catch the kids who stole my bike.
You know what’s exciting? Jail. Jail is exciting.
If you want adventure, just play paintball.
Eh, not so much
Or maybe bungee jumping would be better than paintball.
Stay away from that bathroom Polo
Apparently Carrie Underwood is living in the town of Port Washington.

Update: Steve Wexler, the general manager of WTMJ-TV, told Jim Romenesko that Koebel is no longer with the station.)
A local television reporter was cited for disorderly conduct when he became belligerent with police after being caught urinating outside of the Apple store at Bayshore Mall.
According to the Glendale police report:
A Bayshore security guard caught Rob Koebel, 41, urinating outside of the Apple store at 10:11 p.m. Aug. 21. Koebel, an investigative reporter with TMJ4's I-Team, lives in an apartment above the Apple store.
The security guard told police he saw Koebel and his friend, a 52-year-old man, leave Bar Louie on their way back to their apartments. The friend told police Koebel had been drinking. When Koebel started urinating outside of the Apple store, the security guard told him to stop, but Koebel ignored him.
Glendale police arrived at the scene shortly. Koebel took his phone out of his pocket, and when police told him to put his phone away, he said, "No, not gonna happen." He then put his phone back in his pocket, but then later took it out again.
When the officer asked Koebel to hand him his phone, he said: 'No, do you know who you're messing with?'
