Wisconsin Man Charged with Attacking Teen Mowing Lawn

A 46-year-old man is due back in court October 11th, after he allegedly attacked a young neighbor with a hammer while the teen was mowing a lawn. Brian Olson of Richfield is charged in Washington County with felony counts of attempted homicide and not complying with an officer who was taking him into custody. Officials say Olsen was arrested at the Holy Hill Basilica two days after the incident. The victim remains hospitalized with skull fractures. Reports say Olsen’s mental condition could make his 500-thousand-dollar cash bond a moot point. Online court records indicate that he’s at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute at Oshkosh. Olsen waived the state’s time limit for a preliminary hearing.
