SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis. (WHBL) - Mechanical problems forced Flight For Life to make an emergency landing at the Sheboygan County Airport late Sunday night. The Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department says Dispatch got a 911 call just before 11:30, that because of a hydraulic issue, the chopper had to land at the Airport near Sheboygan Falls. It's being described as a "hard landing" - the chopper coming down with enough force to damage the aircraft - specifically the skids, which spliced outwards.

Flight had been on the way to a transport and there were no patients on board when they had to make the emergency landing.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - Fire breaks out at the Nemak Plant on Gateway Drive in Sheboygan early Tuesday morning.  Battalion Fire Chief Keith Risse says they got a 911 call just after 2am that there was a furnace malfunction which caused the fire to escape the equipment and spread.  The fire quickly made it to the roof of the building.  Firefighters and plant personnel worked to knock down the flames, but had a tough time using water because of the molten metal in the area.  Snow, wind, and cold temperatures also made firefighting operations difficult as they were dealing with the roof.  There's significant damage to the roof area - though the good news is nobody was injured.

BEAVER DAM, WI (WTAQ) - A controlled detonation has taken place at a Beaver Dam apartment complex.

A Monday explosion at the facility killed one man.

Police say there were still 'highly volatile' homemade explosives in the building.

Those explosives were reportedly sensitive enough that they could not be handled or removed from the apartment.

Police Chief John Kreuziger says "the operation was a success in eliminating the threatening explosive material."

The detonation has caused additional damage to the complex, but FBI Special Agent Justin Tolomeo says it could've been worse.

"Insofar as we could protect those surrounding residences, that was a success."

While the body had not been identified at last word, Tolomeo notes it has been removed from the apartment.

"Information and evidence was obtained prior to the detonation, and we're assessing that currently."

Investigators from the local, state, and federal levels continue to look into why the man possessed such a large amount of explosives.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - A plea hearing is scheduled for Monday for a woman charged with abusing her 3 children last September.  27 year old Shiquita Perry is facing 4 felony charges of child abuse after one of her children reported the beatings to her school in Sheboygan.  Court documents say the 12 year old went to her principal, saying she was tired of “getting whooped” with a whooping stick… She told detectives that while her mother was away, she went to a restaurant in Sheboygan to get her younger siblings supper.  When Perry found out about this, she grabbed a closet rod and started beating her, and her siblings, who were 4 and 5 years old.

The criminal complaint says the beatings happened on more than one occasion - and the beatings were so bad, that, on one occasion, Perry kept the children home from school so nobody would see the bruises.  The girl said that one of the "whoopings" was so bad that she fell to the ground, and Perry continued beating her with a clothes hanger. Perry, however, claims she only punished the children by spanking them.. She’s facing 3 years in prison on each charge if she’s found guilty.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - The Oostburg man charged with two counts of first degree intentional homicide for the shooting deaths of Luis Garcia and Fernando Lopez was in court Monday.   During a status conference, the defense and prosecution requested the Judge move the jury trial into July - the dates moved back so both sides could continue to prepare their cases.  

It was July 30th, 2017, when Deputies were called to a home on North 10th Street in Oostburg after reports two people had been shot. When they got there, Ochoa had left, later turning himself in at the Sheboygan Police Department.  A witness said there was an argument over money before shots were fired - Deputies found the two victims lying on the floor of the living room, dead of gunshot wounds. Ochoa told Police he didn’t mean to do what he did, he was scared, and that he’d done something bad.  Ochoa could spend the rest of his life in prison if he’s found guilty.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - Students from across the country prepare to walk out of class at 10:00 Wednesday morning to remember the students who died when Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.  In Sheboygan, Superintendent Joe Sheehan says they haven’t heard of any organized plans in the district for a walk out. Sheehan says while they discuss the issue with student leaders, there’s been talk about possibly holding hands around a flag pole or writing letters of support to families.  He says any event would focus more on remembering the victims of that shooting, and less on any political statements.

District leaders say that if students do get up and walk out during that time, they need to have permission from parents that they’re allowed to be absent from class - and if they do leave, they need to find a way to make up the time that was lost.  

Sheehan tells WHBL that he’s spoken with other Administrators throughout Sheboygan County, and he says that none of the other districts are anticipating walk outs.

SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis. (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man has been charged with burglary for breaking into a bar in Sheboygan Falls.  Sage Dalrymple was arrested after the owner of “The Other Place” tavern reported that cash - and the cash register at the bar - were missing.  Court documents say that last Friday morning, the owner’s boyfriend went into the bar and found the items were missing. The owner called Police, and said she suspected Dalrymple may have stolen it, because she recently fired him for repeatedly taking money from the business.  When Police questioned him, he admitted using a door code to enter the bar, took the cash register and left. He said he walked the machine back to Sheboygan using the bike path, and stashed it at the Quarry. Police found the machine smashed, and there was change scattered throughout the area.  Dalrymple is facing over 12 years in prison if he’s found guilty.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man is facing charges for sexually assaulting an 11 year old girl, and threatening to shoot her if she didn't cooperate.  Jonethan Lindle was arrested after the girl told Police about the incidents which started roughly two years ago.  She said that at a home in Sheboygan, when she was in 5th or 6th grade, she was on a couch watching TV when Lindle started touching her.  When she asked him to stop, he continued, dragged her by her hair to a bedroom, and threatened to shoot her if she tried to stop him. The victim said another time, when she was 12, Lindle took out a pistol, set it on a table, and when she tried to stop him, he said "Talk to me like that again and I’ll put a bullet right through your head,"  and assaulted her another time.  Court documents say she had kept these incidents a secret until now, because she was afraid of being hurt by Lindle. If he’s found guilty, he’s facing up to 60 years in prison.
