SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man faces a sexual assault charge regarding an April incident in the City of Sheboygan that may have involved a rape drug.  44-year-old Bradley Kilgore made his initial appearance in Sheboygan County Court Wednesday.

According to the criminal complaint, the incident took place during the early morning hours of April 12 at a residence near South 16^th Street and Indiana Avenue.  The victim told authorities she did sleep at the residence after receiving a drink she claims was made by Kilgore and taking what she thought was Tylenol given by another person.  After waking up the next day she had vomiting episodes, double vision, and hickeys and bruises on her body.

Analysis of DNA found on the victim matched that of Kilgore.  He claims he never made the victim a drink nor touched her during that night.

Kilgore could spend up to 40 years in prison if found guilty.

PLYMOUTH, WI (WHBL) - A three year old Plymouth girl died due to being hit by a vehicle in the Plymouth Aquatic Center parking lot this past weekend.

The Plymouth Police Department says Aaliyah Godfrey was struck by a Chrysler minivan, driven by 39-year-old Pam Garbisch of Sheboygan, around 11:20 Saturday morning.  Aaliyah was taken to St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan for treatment of injuries, but would die from them several hours later.

Authorities say Garbisch was performing a parking maneuver in the lot when, most likely, Aaliyah came out between other parked vehicles and then was hit and run over by the right side of the vehicle. They add alcohol and speed were not factors in this accident, and no citations are likely to be issued.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - The two Sheboygan teens who brutally murdered the great-grand mother of one of them will soon find out how long they will be behind bars.

14 year old Antonio Barbeau will be sentenced this morning by Judge Timothy Van Akkeren.  He’s facing 35 years in prison if Van Akkeren goes along with the plea deal which was reached.

His friend, 14 year old Nathan Paape will be sentenced tomorrow.  He was convicted by a jury in June and it will be up to Van Akkeren as to when he is eligible for parole.

The two bludgeoned 78 year old Barbara Olsen to death with a hammer and a hatchet in her Sheboygan Falls home last September.  She was Barbeau’s great-grandmother.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Antonio Barbeau will have to wait until he is 50 years old to have a chance at leaving prison for his role in the murder of his great grandmother.  Judge Timothy Van Akkeren sentenced the 14-year-old Sheboygan teen to life in prison Monday for his role in the death of Barbara Olson.

Back in June, the prosecution and defense reached a plea deal, allowing Barbeau to avoid a jury trial in exchange for a state request to have parole eligibility 35 years after sentencing.  Judge Van Akkeren followed suit, making it until Barbeau’s birthday in November of 2048 when he can apply for parole.

Barbeau, along with 14-year-old Nathan Paape, killed Olson at her Sheboygan Falls residence with the use of a hammer and hatchet last September.

Paape, who was found guilty of a similar charge by a jury in June, will be sentenced Tuesday.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man faces 20 counts of possessing child pornography.  41-year-old Todd Peterson made his initial appearance in Sheboygan County Court Monday.

According to the criminal complaint, local authorities were made aware back in early June of a residence on Niagara Avenue in Sheboygan - identified as Peterson’s - that had used the internet to send and receive images of child pornography.  When authorities contacted Peterson last week about this, he allegedly admitted to have taken part in such activities for about a year.  A review of an I-Pod found at least 20 images of boys and girls ages two to ten in sexually explicit positions.

Online court records show Peterson remains in custody on a $20,000 bond.  Each count he faces could result in up to 25 years in prison if found guilty.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Nathan Paape will have to wait just over thirty years before he will have his first chance at parole.  Judge Timothy Van Akkeren sentenced the 14-year-old Sheboygan male to life in prison in Sheboygan County Court on Tuesday.  A jury found him guilty back in June for his role in the death of Barbara Olson last September at her Sheboygan Falls residence.

With his sentence, Judge Van Akkeren acknowledged the severity of the crime committed, which resulted in Olson being bludgeoned to death with a hammer and hatchet, but also recognized Paape was following the plan and actions set by Antonio Barbeau - a great grandson of Olson’s.  The sentence means Paape will be in prison at least until he turns 45 in December of 2043.

Barbeau was sentenced Monday to life in prison for his role in the case, with first chance at parole one he turns 50 in 2048.

FOND DU LAC, WI (WHBL) - A 53-year-old Fond Du Lac woman was killed in a two-car head-on collision on Highway 23 in eastern Fond du Lac County Wednesday morning.

Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Captain Rick Olig says a 51-year-old Plymouth woman was heading west on Highway 23, pulled out and passed a number of cars near Seven Hills Road.  The Fond Du Lac woman, driving east on Highway 23, had to pull onto the shoulder to avoid a collision, which caused her to lose control of her car.  This led it to strike a vehicle heading westbound head-on, ejecting her.  She was pronounced dead at the scene.  The driver of the west bound vehicle, a 41-year old male from St. Cloud, was not hurt in the accident.

The woman whose erratic driving caused the accident was pulled over near Waupun and was taken into custody for homicide by negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Olig said she had just moved from Texas and was on her way to work in Beaver Dam.  He says witnesses report she was passing vehicles both before and after the fatal accident.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Sheboygan Police arrested a person Thursday connected to recent incidents of entering vehicles and stealing items from them.  An official with the department said the 23-year-old male does have a history of committing such crimes in the past.

The department is asking anyone who has had their vehicle entered into, a garage that was entered into, or a bicycle that was stolen to contact them and submit a report.  This will assist them identifying items found on the individual that were stolen.  While most incidents so far have been reported from the city’s north side, the suspect did have the ability to move around the city.

This recent arrest is not connected to a string of illegal car entries and thefts committed around South 20^th Street and Georgia Avenue in late July.  That resulted in at least one arrest.

FOND DU LAC, WI (WHBL) - We now know the identity of the Plymouth woman who allegedly caused a deadly two-vehicle accident in eastern Fond Du Lac County Wednesday morning.  51-year-old Laurie Garcia made an initial appearance in Fond Du Lac County Court Thursday and was charged with homicide by negligent use of a vehicle.

Authorities say Garcia was traveling on Highway 23 to get to work in Beaver Dam when she passed a line of cars.  This caused a vehicle in the opposite lane, driven by 53-year-old Kathleen Fee of Fond du Lac, to swerve to miss her.  Lee’s vehicle lost control and struck another vehicle head on.  Lee was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene.

Sheriff officials stopped Garcia west of Fond du Lac and arrested her.  Witnesses say they saw Garcia’s vehicle passing other vehicle before and after the accident.

She remains in custody on a $25,000 cash bond and will be back in court for a preliminary hearing on September 12.

SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, WI (WHBL) - Today the Wisconsin State Patrol and law enforcement agencies across the state will begin their annual “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.  The program will see increased enforcement searching for drunk drivers.

In Sheboygan County, the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department along with police units in Cascade, Elkhart Lake, Plymouth and Sheboygan will be taking part.  Plymouth Police Chief Jeff Tauschek said in a statement drunken driving is entirely preventable, and that the consequences of an arrest include expensive penalties, mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device, possible jail time, and major embarrassment.
