New Employee Drug Charge, Officer Hurt in Crash, Former SSFD Chief on 'Chicago Fire'

It was quite a week, and we understand it can be tough to keep up with all the news. So, we've rounded up the top 10 most read stories from the week to help catch you up on what you might have missed.

A new employee faces a drug charge after the owner of a local automotive shop called police because he said his new hire was stealing from him. When police searched the defendant they say they found heroin in a folded $20 bill. Theft charges could be pending soon.

It was a scary situation earlier this week when a Racine Police officer suffered minor injuries after his squad car collided with two semi trucks on I-94. Wisconsin State Patrol is asking for the public's help find the drivers of the trucks since they didn't stop.

For the first time, we have Hollywood-type entertainment news. Former South Shore Chief William Bouma joined 'Chicago Fire' as an extra for a banquet scene. They needed distinguished and don't you agree that Bouma fits pretty well? The casting folks thought so, too. Bouma reports that he might be back with a speaking part!

Two story round-up stories also made the list. Our weekly OMGPD list of funnies from area police reports, I’ll Keep Getting Arrested Until I Get it Right, and the list of top stories from two weeks ago, , round out our top five.

But, we promised a top 10, so here are the rest of the top headlines from last week:
