Tosa Man's Epitaph Was Written in His Own Blood

The short, tumultuous life of John Michael Pekrun began unraveling when he was in his teens, and it ended last week with the bullet that killed him as he charged with a hunting knife at an Iowa state trooper.

It seemed an almost predictable end for the Wauwatosa man, who died at 30. In every one of the many crimes he was charged with since his youth – including car theft, endangering safety, property thefts, hit and run – he was also charged with fleeing, eluding, resisting or obstructing an officer.

Those early chapters of his brief adult life are written in police reports, court records, jail terms and prison sentences. The final chapter began not quite three months ago with yet another brazen crime and a fine piece of forensic investigation by the Wauwatosa police.

A rash of crimes

In late March and well into April, a large number of property crimes were reported in an area of Wauwatosa centered around West North Avenue and North 114th Street. Many seemed petty – entries into unlocked cars, rifled for as little as loose change. More were quite serious – homes, businesses and vehicles broken into, vehicles stolen.

On April 2, police were sent to investigate a particularly brash crime in the 11400 block of West Garfield Avenue. A home had been broken into and two vehicles had been stolen out of the driveway.

The homeowner had found his daughter's car, a 1994 Chevy Corsica, abandoned only about 100 feet north on 114th Street, where the steering column had locked up.

Apparently, the girl had left her house key in her car. The thief let himself the locked home while the family slept and found the keys to the father's '98 GMC Sierra on the counter. Without disturbing anything else, he took the keys and stole the Sierra.

Pieces of evidence

Police carefully examined the Corsica from the outside and then asked the girl to look around inside without touching anything. She saw that her glove box had been rifled and that some of her school things were missing. Then she noticed something else. There was a large black-handled screwdriver between the seat and console. It wasn't hers.

While at the scene, police were alerted that the stolen Sierra had been recovered early that morning in Brown Deer, found sitting on the off-ramp to Lannon Road from Highway 41 with its doors open. At about the same time, another vehicle had been reported stolen nearby.
