Stuart J. Wattles, a 15-year-old from Milwaukee is facing an adult homicide charge for fatally shooting another teenager.

Prosecutors have charged Robial Stokes with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of 16-year-old Cameron Bowen.

Authorities say the teenagers fought at school days before fighting each other again on a bus September 19th.

Stokes remains wanted.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Departments can use the grant money for gear, response vehicles, and programs focused on firefighters' health and well-being.

Four people were hurt but are expected to recover after a small plane crashed into a cornfield near East Troy yesterday afternoon.

Authorities say the single-engine plane went down at around 1.30 south of the East Troy airport.

Three people were taken to a hospital for evaluation while the fourth was checked at the scene and released.

The FAA and the town of East Troy police are investigating what caused the crash.

And Wisconsin State Fair officials are enacting stricter youth admission rules following a chaotic final night that led to seven arrests.

Under the new policy, Fairgoers 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 25 years old after 5 p.m.

Chaperones are now limited to supervising four miners down from six and must remain on the grounds for the duration of the visit.

Organizers hope the tighter age requirements and smaller supervision ratios will curb disruptions and keep the annual events safer families.

And that's the local update.

The NFL is asking for video evidence in the case involving Packers running back Josh Jacobs.

The league said it submitted a records request after a judge denied a motion to permanently seal video and other evidence in the case.

Jacobs pleaded no contest in two misdemeanor charges.

The NFL said the matter remains under review through its personal conduct policy.

The league has provided no timeline for a decision on Jacob's status.

He remains on the commissioner's exempt list, meaning he cannot practice or play with the Packers.

Three people have been hospitalized after a small plane crashed in the town of East Troy, southwest of Milwaukee yesterday.

East Troy police say all four people in the plane were injured, but one was treated and released at the scene.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.

Wisconsin Rapids District 7 older person Michael Tim said he won't resign ahead of a scheduled recall election.

Petitioners alleged Tim abused his power and infringed on First Amendment rights by pressuring Hotel Mead Resorts and Conference Center management to stop selling no data center signs in July.

In a statement, Tim said he won't accept the idea that, quote, the only acceptable response to opposition is to step aside, unquote.

The recall election is set for October 27th.

The winner will serve the remainder of the term through April 2027.

The Madison Common Council is approving the city's 2027 capital budget, including funding to launch a body-worn camera program for local police officers.
