Four armed men wearing masks forced entry into a Middleton home, beat a man, and robbed the home Thursday, according to Middleton police.

Police were called to the home in the 6400 block of Century Avenue at 1:30 a.m. for a report of an armed robbery home invasion. The victims, a man and a woman, told police the men were armed with handguns and one had a baseball bat. The men took items from the home and fled in an unknown direction, according to police.

After an investigation, police said the occupants were arrested. Latik Williams, 31, was arrested on suspicion of a parole violation. Martha Salazar, 21, was arrested on suspicion of obstructing an officer.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Middleton Police Department at 608-824-7300.

Police arrested a Middleton man on fourth-offense drunken driving early Saturday morning after witnesses said he engaged in road rage.

According to a Madison Police Department statement, an officer monitoring traffic on John Nolen Drive saw two vehicles appearing to race each other. The officer stopped both vehicles and was informed by individuals in one car that the other driver had cut him off and rammed into his vehicle. The individuals also said the other driver appeared to be drunk.

The officer arrested Lester Rodriguez, 27, on a charge of fourth offense of operating while intoxicated, the statement said. Rodriguez was also cited for speeding.

A Middleton man was caught in an online prostitution ring, which is just the tip of the Internet crime iceberg, authorities said. Law enforcement said prostitution is prevalent online, but finding the culprits can get complex, expensive and time consuming.

Just a few clicks of the mouse and Web users will find they can buy or sell almost anything on sites like backpage.com.

Ads can be found promising $80 specials for a "good time."

"It's a very easy way for them to sell their wares and make victims available for victimization on the Internet," said Dean Stensberg, director of public affairs with the state Department of Justice.

Alvin Siller, 38, known as "Slim," has been charged with more than a dozen felony offenses, including human trafficking, pimping and child enticement. Siller is accused of using backpage.com to advertise women for sex.

It's a case Middleton police have been tracking for more than a year.
