THE DIRTY ARMY:  A 17-year-old Sheboygan boy was charged Thursday after breaking into a neighbor’s house in search of snack food, according to a criminal complaint. Ronald M. Savela Jr., was fingered as the suspect since he broke into the same house using the same window last year, the complaint said. Only this time, the break-in comes with a felony charge, since More.. 17-year-olds are charged as adults in Wisconsin. Savela, of 2411-A S. Eighth St., turned 17 less than a month ago. He is charged with attempted burglary of a building or dwelling, which carries a maximum penalty of nearly four years in prison.

According to the complaint:

A woman in the 2200 block of South Eighth Street called police Wednesday to report a basement window had been broken out. After confirming her kids weren’t responsible, the woman said she thought of Savela because of the prior break-in. In an interview with police, Savela admitted smashing the window with a rock, removing the screen and trying to get in to find snack food. He was unsuccessful.

4 years is kind of harsh.- nik
