City of Muskego fined Franklin man $500 for mowing lawn of cemetery

The City of Muskego fined a 64-year-old Franklin man $500 for mowing the lawn of a cemetery, stating he violated a "Muskego park and recreation regulation on the cutting of trees and plants."

Jordan J. Wenzel Sr. was found cutting the grass of Luther Park Cemetery on June 20 around 6:30 p.m.

Wenzel Sr. told police that he heard about a dispute over weeds and tall grass growing in the cemetery on a Channel 6 news report and decided to take matters into his own hands and help out, the police report states.

The cemetery mowing removed "approximately three-fourths of the vegetation there," according to a statement from Bob Koenecke, the commander for the Sons of Union Veterans, a Civil War group dedicated to maintain the history of war veterans.
