Police say the suspect is in custody. New information is available in this new report.

The man wanted by several police departments for allegedly drugging and stealing from women at bars was spotted on Monday in Franklin, police say. One of the victims later died from injuries, according to authorities, and in that case Tim Olson is viewed by police as a person of interest.

Franklin police said in a statement on Tuesday that Timothy Olson was seen at a business on South 27th. Police ask you to not contact him and instead call 911 to report his location.

As TMJ4 News previously reported, 55-year-old Kim Mikulance, also known as Raina, was hospitalized last Thursday after she became unconscious inside a bar called Powers. It happened just moments after she and a man, who police believed to be Olson, ordered drinks at the bar. Raina later passed away in the hospital.

According to Racine police, Olson, who quickly left the mom of two inside the bar, is linked to a number of crimes against womenincluding in Racine where he drugs them and steals their money.

Police in Racine have put out several alerts about Olson, but he has not yet been found. South Milwaukee police say they're awaiting autopsy results from the medical examiner's office to officially determine Raina's cause of death. However, they are also looking for Olson as a person of interest in connection to her death.
