Two From West Bend Charged in Walgreens Armed Robbery

Two West Bend residents are facing charges after allegedly robbing a Menomonee Falls pharmacy in order to feed their addictions to pain killers.

Jessica N. Dicriscio, 25, and Luke R. Kirmse Kastner, 21, were each charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Monday with one count of armed robbery. If convicted, they face up to 40 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

At 2:20 a.m. Sunday, the two went to , N83W15701 Appleton Ave., where Kastner jumped the counter of the pharmacy, pointed a BB gun at an employee and demanded Oxycodone. The employee gave them the pills and they fled the scene.

A short time later a Menomonee Falls police officer spotted a car leave a poorly lit apartment complex next to the Walgreens and head south on Pilgrim Road. The driver was only doing 25 miles per hour even though the speed limit is 40 miles per hour.

The officer then put on his lights to pull the car over, but the driver continued to slow down without hitting the brakes until the car eventually came to a complete stop.

The suspects admitted to robbing the pharmacy because they’re both addicted to Percocet. Dicriscio told an officer she had just consumed 15 of the pills she had been keeping in her bra prior to being pulled over.

Dicriscio is currently being held in Waukesha County Jail on $50,000 cash bail. Kastner is being held on $100,000 cash bail.
