Prosecutors in Menomonie are pushing ahead with terroristic threat charges against a young man who says he wanted to burn down the place where he works. The D.A. filed formal charges yesterday against Garrett Kinser. Police got the call Friday to come to Phillips Medisize because co-workers said Kinser asked them to make a molotov cocktail. Police say he also threatened to cut-up a young woman who he works with and put her in the meat grinder. Kinser told investigators

A Marinette man won’t face any charges for a deadly shooting at his apartment last month. Police and prosecutors on Saturday said the December 1st shooting which left Edwina Anderson  dead was justified. Police say they found Anderson wounded in the apartment complex hallway.

It wasn’t just dogs, snakes, ducks, and alligators that animal rescuers pulled from a Milwaukee home last week. The Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission says they took 112 animals over every variety out of the home. MADACC’s Karen Sparapani says not all of the animals survived. The full list includes a goat, some rabbits, and at least one turkey. The animals that can be adopted-out, will be adopted-out. Milwaukee Police arrested the 46-year-old man who lives in the house,

The DNR wants to know who shot a bald eagle in Milwaukee County. Animal rescuers found the bird with a wounded wing in Franklin last Wednesday. The DNR says it’s clear the bird was shot, but they are not saying by what or by who. It is, of course, illegal to shoot bald eagles. Animal rescuers yesterday said the bird’s condition was closely guarded. If the bird recovers, it will likely need another surgery to be able to fly again.

The state of Wisconsin wants to know when people see mudpuppies. Mudpuppies are Wisconsin’s only fully aquatic salamander, and are quite often caught by fishermen looking for other fish. The state’s Department of Natural Resources wants fisherman who catch mudpuppies to take a picture, then release them back into the water. The DNR says the data they get from fishermen will help round-out a study being done on just where mudpuppies live in the state.

Top lawmakers in Madison agree the state’s surplus is ‘the people’s money,’ but they don’t agree on what to do with it. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Democratic Assistant Minority Leader Kalan Haywood talked about Wisconsin’s record six billion-dollar surplus on Friday. They both said it’s ‘the people’s money,’ but Haywood wants to spend it while Vos wants to give it back to taxpayers. Vos expects Republicans, who control the budget making process, to push for a multi-billion dollar tax cut.

There, of course, will also be food. And fans can still book tables to look out on to the Brewers’ games. You can find out more at the Brewers’ website.
