Lawyers for the man
who police say ran down three Girl Scouts from Chippewa Falls say there’s no
proof he was high at the time of the wreck. Colten Treu’s lawyers on
Friday said prosecutors cannot prove their claim that Treu was huffing air
duster before police say he drove off the road and killed the girls and a mom
who was helping them pick-up trash. Treu was in court Friday for his
preliminary hearing. The judge says there is enough evidence to head to
trial.
Our community lost 9-year-old Jayna Kelley, 10-year-old Autumn Helgeson, both of Lake Hallie, 10-year-old Haylee Hickle and her mother, 32-year-old Sara Jo Schneider, from Lafayette. A fifth person, Madalyn Zwiefelhofer, was injured in that crash.
