Roofer accused of stealing firearms
Circuit Court
A man hired to fix the roof on a Mukwonago couple’s house cleaned out their gun cabinet while he was on the job, a criminal complaint says.
Chad A. Stechauner, 28, 317 N. Rochester St., Mukwonago, has been charged with burglary for stealing 10 firearms from the Town of Mukwonago home last July, according to the complaint, filed Monday in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
Stechauner told police he went into the house for a drink of water and once inside, “he could not say why, but he started to look around the house . . . he stated the whole incident was rather blurry.”
Stechauner said he had been drinking heavily and was not sure why he had taken the guns.
