District attorney had requested $10,000 bail for the Mequon woman charged with ripping off two friends.
Ozaukee County Circut Judge Tom Wolfgram Wednesday set bail at $5,000 for a 49-year-old Mequon woman charged with stealing more than $92,000 in jewelry and silverware from two friends who live in Bayside and Grafton. The prosecution originally requested a $10,000 bail for Jill E. Binon because of the seriousness of the accusations and the amount stolen. Binon's attorney, Michael E. Banaszak, argued that because the women Binon allegedly stole from were also her employers, she is no longer employed, making a large amount of money hard to obtain. Banaszak said he has spoken with family and friends willing to put money toward her bail, and suggested $1,000 cash bail per count, totaling $2,o00 bail. Banaszak also expressed concern for Binon's …

No suspects, but pry marks and a partial print might help police.
On Feb. 24, Fox Point police were dispatched for a jewelry theft call — not at a jewelry store, but at an 84-year-old woman's home in the 6800 block of North Yates Road. The woman told police that she had discovered several pieces of her jewelry were missing that morning from her bedroom. She also noticed three $100 bills were missing from the same bedroom. She said she wasn't sure when the theft occurred because she never caught anyone in the house or found anything else really out of place or missing. But when thinking back, she remembered that during the previous week she had found one of her gold herringbone necklaces lying on the floor in the bedroom next to the dresser. She told police that she didn't think anything of it at the …

Jill E. Binon was released on her own reconnaissance on Wednesday of this week – which amounts to a slap on the wrist and an IOU bond to be paid in the event she flees. How that works exactly I have no idea. Does she ware an ankle bracelet – or should she simply be trusted now. I find her attorney Banaszak’s argument to be absurd – yet worse still that her Judge complied and Binon is now out and … more ›
