"This situation is absolutely unacceptable for the city of Franklin" -Franklin Mayor Steve Olson Franklin Mayor Steve Olson is calling out Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm for failing to prosecute an alleged multi-million dollar marijuana grow in a residential area that is located not far from a school. "John Chisholm is the DA for Franklin as he is for the City of Milwaukee," Olson told Wisconsin Right Now in an interview. "He has to recognize community standards in his entire jurisdiction. We pay his salary too...Who gave John Chisholm the authority to ignore a substantial violation of any law?"

The court system knew Marshall was a problem for years, but the court records in his case reveal an inefficient court system that failed to hold him accountable as the wheels of justice ground extremely slowly. Wisconsin Right Now has learned that the Franklin Walmart carjacking suspect is 31-year-old David W. Marshall, a felon who had two open felony cases (with six charges) at the time of his crime spree but was given repeated passes by multiple judges and court commissioners in Milwaukee County in the months and days leading up to it. That's despite the fact that court records document multiple violations by pretrial services against Marshall, meaning he demonstrated over and over again that he was thumbing his nose at the system. Yet the system did little to respond. Already a convicted felon, Marshall was given a signature bond in one of his pending cases, and $500 and then $1,000 cash in another.

There are Franklin Walmart shooting reports in Wisconsin. There was a major law enforcement response to a now-defused possible "active shooter" situation at the Franklin, Wisconsin, Walmart on Sept. 3, 2021. That term comes from scanner traffic. A man is dead, possibly the suspect. Authorities have not yet given details about what's transpired. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office confirmed they were responding to the scene, writing, "MCMEO is responding to S 27 and Sycamore in Franklin/Oak Creek. One male victim. Autopsy is scheduled for Monday. Avoid the area." The Walmart is located at 6701 S 27th St, Franklin, Wisconsin. Information was still preliminary, but, on the scanner, dispatchers and officers said there was a second scene involving a car at 27th and Ryan. Video from the scene showed the car turned over. It appeared that the body was at that location. https://twitter.com/WISN12News/status/1433794052034494474 Scanner r...
