A 74-year-old Milwaukee man called police to report a theft of $50 after two women failed to give him $50 back in change for "escort services" he received at an Oak Creek hotel Monday.

According to the police report:

The man told police he had contracted for one of the women, known as "LaDonna," to give him a $50 back massage from 1:13 a.m. to 1:43 a.m. in his room at Days Inn, 1201 W. College Ave.

The man told the women he only had a $100 bill, and the women agreed to provide him with change in the morning, but he never received it.

Police questioned LaDonna, a 22-year-old Illinois man dressed as a woman, who told police he was an escort who had his own website advertising LaDonna's services.

They also questioned the other escort, a 25-year-old Illinois woman, who admitted doing business in Wisconsin on a regular basis.

The man was warned about soliciting escort services and the officer advised him the incident was a civil matter.

Days Inn management has placed the man on its “do not rent” lists.

The same man was involved in an incident the day before. Oak Creek police say he was intoxicated, wearing a Santa hat and spitting at people in a church parking lot.

An Oak Creek police officer who responded to a report of a goat running loose in traffic discovered two things: the goat was actually a lamb, and a lamb on the lam is hard to corral.

According to Oak Creek police, a caller reported that a goat was running northbound in traffic on South Ash Street and East Rawson Avenue around 12:40 p.m. Dec. 9.

The officer responding to the call reported the animal was actually a lamb, and believed it belonged to the petting zoo at Mega Discount Nursery, 1901 Rawson Ave.

The officer tried to assist nursery employees who were trying to corral the lamb, but he was unable to secure it before leaving the area.

Employees at the nursery continued to follow the lamb, who led them on a two-hour chase through yards, over fences and across streets.

OAK CREEK - John Schlueter walks down the aisles of his company's massive Oak Creek warehouse with an air of confidence. Business is good for Karl's Event Rental. The company just finished erecting 625 temporary structures (gigantic tents) for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

  "It's the single largest contract that Karl's has ever fulfilled," Schlueter said thoughtfully.

  Karl's, a 42 year old company, was already taking on large projects. The company has provided structures for everything from the Super Bowl to the Kentucky Derby to New York Fashion Week. 

  Karl's has roughly 60 Milwaukee-based employees in Vancouver and Whistler right now. They are handling the challenging work of erecting massive temporary structures on steep grades that can handle the extreme conditions of British Columbia.
