Ted Oswald (April 1994)
WAUKESHA, Wis. - One of the men responsible for an infamous and deadly shootout in Waukesha County 30 years ago wants to serve his sentence in Canada.
Ted Oswald is asking the Wisconsin Department of Corrections for a transfer under the International Prisoner Transfer Program.
Waukesha County District Attorney Sue Opper said Oswald is a Canadian national, which would make him eligible for consideration.
The 48-year-old was convicted along with his father, James, after robbing a bank and killing Waukesha Police Captain James Lutz.
