Investigators in Wood County say a wanted felon is facing even more charges after a search at his home yesterday.
Austin Knuesel is already facing charges as a felon who was found with a sawed-off shotgun, and charges from a weekend shooting and hostage situation. Yesterday, police in Wisconsin Rapids searched his home. That search led to more charges for Knuesel, and charges for four other people. Knuesel was out on bond before the weekend hostage situation. He was waiting for trial on child sexual assault and drug charges. He’s currently in jail in Wood County on 100 thousand-dollars bond.
