A Milwaukee man is accused stealing a truck from Quad Graphics in Sussex where he worked as a temporary employee.

Valente M. Campbell, 21, is charged with taking a vehicle without consent and theft. If convicted, he faces up to 7-3/4 years in prison and $20,000 in fines. The penalty is higher because he has a previous felony conviction.
