Here’s more from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Jim Stingl about the story behind the benefit this week for injured Milwaukee police officer Joshua Albert (right), who was struck head-on last month by a drunken driver.
Albert’s police partner asked her relative, Dobie Maxwell, to organize a comedy show and silent auction to support Albert’s rehabilitation. Maxwell, a Milwaukee native and nationally touring comic, was injured by a drunken driver in 1993.
The event starts at 8 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 17, at Shank Hall, 1434 N. Farwell Ave. A $20 donation is suggested.
