Oak Creek man pleads guilty in drunk driving homicide of St. Francis teacher
An Oak Creek man has pleaded guilty to homicide by driving intoxicated in connection with a crash in Cudahy that killed a local teacher. Troy Vaillancourt, 28, was facing the felony charge for allegedly driving drunk and causing an accident that took the life of St. Francis teacher Michelle Engman on Dec. 6, 2024. Vaillancourt changed his plea to guilty June 9 as part of a plea agreement, according to online court records. He initially pleaded not guilty in December 2024. The court found him guilty and Vaillancourt was remanded into Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department custody. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 22. Following the crash, a GoFundMe was launched to help support Engman's family. As of June 9 it had raised $31,777 ― well above its $19,000 goal. According to the complaint: Cudahy police were dispatched to East Van Norman and South Lipton avenues for a two-car crash at 3 p.m. Dec. 6, 2024. Authorities found a Honda Civic and Chevrolet Trailblazer with severe damage and determined the crash occurred in the middle of the intersection. Engman, who was driving the Civic, was unconscious with no pulse. Officers attempted lifesaving measures until paramedics arrived and took her to the hospital. She died Dec. 8 from injuries received in the crash, according to the autopsy. Vaillancourt told police he was the driver of the Trailblazer and said he'd just finished work and was traveling south on South Lipton Avenue when the crash happened. Traffic southbound on Lipton has a stop sign while traffic on Van Norman Avenue has no stop sign. 'I'm 90% sure I blew the stop sign then hit her,' Vaillancourt told an officer, adding that he 'probably was speeding.' Officers observed Vaillancourt exhibited signs of intoxication though he denied drinking before the crash. He did admit to drinking the night before, including the early morning hours of Dec. 6. Vaillancourt took a breathalyzer which indicated his blood alcohol level was 0.169%. The legal limit in Wisconsin is 0.08%, but since Vaillancourt had two prior OWI convictions he must maintain a BAC under 0.02%. Contact Erik S.

Bank robbery suspect faces charges
ELKHART — An Elkhart man faces criminal charges after police say he attempted to rob a bank. Charles Bonsell, 41, faces one count of robbery as a Level 5 felony after his arrest inside Horizon Bank, 1909 E. Bristol St. He was booked in the Elkhart County Correctional Facility on $5,000 bond and given an initial hearing date of June 12. According to court documents: Elkhart police responded to a robbery report at Horizon Bank shortly before 10 a.m. Thursday. The suspect was reportedly still in the bank after passing the teller a note demanding money. Officers say they found Bonsell sitting on the floor inside the bank, with the note and more than $3,000 in cash nearby. Police recovered all the money that was stolen. Bonsell was handcuffed and transported to the jail. He refused to speak with police after his arrest. The teller told officers she was placed in fear after the robbery suspect sat down because she thought she could be in danger. She said she didn't see where he placed the money after she handed it over. Police also found a black Honda Civic registered to Bonsell sitting in a parking lot outside, which he had the keys for in his pocket. No evidence related to the robbery was found inside the vehicle and police say this was Bonsell's first alleged crime on record.
