Details

A Sun Prairie man contacted the MPD Sunday wanting to report a robbery from the night prior. The 29-year old said he was driving outbound on E. Washington Ave. around 11:00 p.m. Saturday night when he began to hear a funny sound coming from beneath his car. He pulled into the parking lot of a hotel to inspect the noise. While doing this, he says a man pushed him from behind and struck him in the head. The victim thought he was likely hit with a handgun although he never saw a weapon. He says a robber demanded he take off his pants, which he reluctantly did. The victim said the stranger then took off with his trousers which contained his wallet. He said a woman was also running with the suspected gunman. When asked, he denied this robbery had anything to do with drugs or an escort service. He said he had simply stopped to inspect his car and was the victim of "bad luck." He said he was tired and wanted to go to bed, which is why he did not call police right away.
