Signature Bond for Ninth OWI

I am extremely surprised and upset to read about Theodore Tatro, who has been charged with his NINTH OWI and was able to get a signature bond.

In the Journal today, it says that he was already on probation and also that he is prescribed a long list of medications. He also hit a mailbox on Hillside road.

I just don’t understand how our District Attorney and Judge can let guys like this out without having to pay any cash bond. I didn’t see anything mentioned about the guy having a device on his car to test for alcohol either.

Note – you can find the charges on CCAP HERE.

Fire at Charlotte Court in Antigo

A fire broke out today, Easter Sunday, at the apartment buildings behind Walmart. I believe it is Charlotte Court. The flames were extremely visible, as I saw a video on facebook. I hope that no one was injured but I do not know. The state of Wisconsin is under “red flag warning” for fires right now.

What kind of punishment reasonable for heroin OD?

I have seen a few news reports about this and the story behind it is just simply sickening!  This guy may as well have killed the girl that he shot up with heroin.

The Antigo newspaper said something along the lines of “she said it was too much” and he said “no, you will be ok” or something to that effect.  He left her in the car by herself and thankfully she did not die.

I do realize that obviously this guy wasn’t thinking at all, and drugs like heroin can certainly do that to a person, but, in my eyes, he should get a severe punishment!

Cousins Subs in Antigo – would you go?

I noticed the blurb in the ADJ Bits & Pieces section on 03/31/12 where it was mentioned that someone may be looking into developing a Cousins Sub shop in town.

I love Cousins subs and would most certainly go there.  It would also be beneficial for me if it was in the downtown area instead of the north side.

I am wondering how others in Antigo feel about this?  Maybe the interested party will take notice if we give some idea as to our feelings on it.

————————————–

Blurb from Bits & Pieces – “I talked to a business friend interested in developing a Cousins Subs business in the downtown area of Antigo earlier this week. Since the closing of Hardee’s and the move by Subway and McDonald’s to the north side of town, downtowners are faced with a slow drive to get fast food.

Of course, the developer wants to make money and wondered if I thought it would work.

I don’t know, but the departure of fast food from the central part of the city did leave a void and for some of us working downtown, a Cousins sandwich sounds pretty good.

I’ll let you know if the project moves ahead.”
