La Crosse man reports attempted robbery
A masked man dressed in black burst through the door moments after the apartment’s tenant thought he locked it late Friday night.
“Give me your ... system and your money,” the intruder yelled before jumping the 18-year-old tenant, who wrestled free enough to grab a shotgun from under a bed. The intruder knocked out a screen door as he fled across a patio.
That’s the story the Hengel Court tenant told La Crosse police early Saturday morning. He and an 18-year-old Galesville man had just entered the apartment when it happened, he said.
The tenant was considering selling his stereo system to the Galesville man, and that’s why he brought him over, the tenant said. He also said nobody knows about his stereo system and his guest did not help him during the attack.
The Galesville man, however, said he did try to help and was hit in the face by the intruder. He also said he was there to hang out with the tenant, not because of the stereo.
Police have some evidence the tenant said he tore off the intruder during the fight and some that was dropped.
