Sussex Associated Bank robbed, again

Posted: July 28, 2012

A deputy with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department confirmed the Sussex Associated Bank was robbed around 8 a.m. this morning, July 28.

The deputy did not have any information regarding if money was taken and how much. He did report that bank employees called 911 around 8 a.m. to report a black man about 5-feet, 4-inches tall with a short beard entered the bank, at N64 W23710 Main St. He said the Sheriff's Department immediately responded. But the bank employees said the man displayed a hand gun and then fled on foot. No one was injured according to the deputy.

An unknown resident called the Sussex Sun to report that the Sheriff's Department had blocked of Main Street in the area of the bank for about two hours and had their guns drawn.

The Sheriff's Deputy that answered the phone at the department desk Saturday evening said the FBI is assisting in the investigation which is ongoing and that he had no further information at this time.

This is the second time the bank has experienced a robbery since March. On March 21, Krystal Y. Kompsi, 28, of N65 W22001 Woodfield Drive, Town of Lisbon, testified for prosecutors against March H. Scott, 31, of Milwaukee during a preliminary hearing March 30 in Waukesha County Circuit Court.

Kompsi testified Scott went inside "to scope out the credit union in order to rob it," a criminal complaint said. When Scott was arrested, he was walking toward a vehicle occupied by Kompsi, the complaint said.
Kompsi said authorities Scott wore a large coat in order to stuff money in it, the complaint said. Kompsi said she is afraid of Scott, as he beats her and chokes her, the complaint said.

Kompsi was found guilty of two counts of theft and faces nine months of jail time and four years of probation. Scott did not go to jail after a doctor determined that he was not competent enough to for trial. He was committed to the Department of Health Services. He sentencing will be readdressed once he has “regained his competence.”

You still CAN carry concealed in these places that post NO WEAPONS. The punihsment, IF even prosecuted, is a $25 forfeiture. And that MUST be prosecuted by the DA of the county, NOT a local muni court. So the chances that they would even waste their time and effort...pretty much 0. Just be sure you have a CCW permit, or else you face an actual misdemeanor for CCW. I'd rather risk a $25 fine then NOT carry. Plus, if you do it right, no one should even know you are carrying right? Nuff said.

Dan, I agree. I normally do since no one would ever know. I totally agree with you.
I'd rather get a small fine and save my life or others than get shot up. I guess I'm
just trying to obey the laws more now that I'm 30yo.

I'm sure the bank would be thrilled to have some George Zimmerman type, cop wanna-be protecting them. Businesses, particularly banks, train their employees to cooperate with the robber and get them out of the bank without anyone being hurt (which is what happened in this case). Then, they allow the real police to handle things. You see, they are sensible enough to know that the amount of money taken in most robberies is small, and that the clearance rate is high. If, on the other hand, someone is shot or killed in their bank, the negative publicity costs them much more. So, while you walk around with your itchy trigger finger, chances are that the other customers in the bank didn't even realize it was being robbed.

Hey dano1, so i guess while youre trying to disect if some drugged out nutjob is going to use his weapon on you in his frantic robbery, I'll be protecting people like you with my sidearm. Keeping my head in the ostrich hole just praying that maybe a guy ballsy enough to rob a bank won't be ballsy enough to hurt someone in the process is NOT acceptable. WE, as a society, should not be thinking that its OK to allow these people to do these things, just because its covered by insurance. I guess just let the guys rob your house too, i mean hey, its not like they are gonna hurt anyone.

North Side, it's telling that you consider thinking (or disecting, to use your word) as a negative. I think it's also telling that pointing out the foolishness of a macho man mentality when carrying concealed is tantamount to allowing someone to rob my house. I hope for your sake that if you ever are confronted by someone with a gun in hand, that you "disect" the situation a little, and consider whether you are fast enough to get your gun out of the holster, on target (with adrenaline pumping), and fire enough rounds to stop the suspect from being able to fire back, all in less time than it takes him to point and shoot at you. If you do, believe me, I'll have no sympathy for the robber. I support carry concealed, but I just think there are some people who lack the judgement to make good decisions with their weapons. I think some of the posts here prove my point.
