Man Falls From Moving TruckMonday, 01 August 2011 12:19 | | |
A Stoddard man is recovering from head injuries after jumping onto and falling off a moving truck yesterday. It happened around 3:30 yesterday afternoon when 27 year old Buck DuCharme jumped onto the running board of a truck driven by 56 year old Leslie Lachine of Stueben. According to the Vernon County sheriff's office, DuCharme jumped onto the moving truck and started pounding on the window. When the driver accelerated, DuCharme fell off the truck and landed on the street. He was found unconscious and suffering head injuries. He was taken to Gunderson Lutheran with non-life threatening injuries. The incident is still under investigation, and no charges have been filed. Vernon County CrimeMonday, 01 August 2011 12:17 | | |
It was a quiet week in Lake Wobegon. And in Vernon County as well. Each week the Vernon County sheriff's office provides a report of what kept them busy during the week. As you would expect in rural Wisconsin, there were no big crimes. But there were four car-deer accidents in the past week. And someone dumped a large amount of garbage after hours at the town recycling center. And several tombstones were damaged in the Liberty Pole cemetery, where it appears a car tried to drive between the grave markers. Also last week, in the town of Kickapoo, one man reported the theft of a black and white concrete Holstein calf lawn ornament. No word if they have any suspects in the concrete calf caper.

Firefighters were on scene until 1am Sunday morning knocking down hotspots.......later in the day the entire building was knocked down into a pile of rubble and wood.
