Manslaughter case now set for March

The manslaughter trial of a Chippewa Falls man is now set for March 5 in Jefferson County, Texas.

Lance Mueller, 48, of 4885 Golfview Drive, is accused of the shooting death of Gregory J. Fleniken, 55, on Sept. 16, 2010, at the MCM Elegante Hotel and Conference Center in Beaumont, Texas.

Mueller's trial had been scheduled for October, but was pushed off until March. The case will be heard by Judge John Stevens, Jr.

According to a police complaint:

Mueller and Timothy R. Steinmetz, both electricians from Wisconsin, were in the same motel room on Sept. 16, 2010 as others, including Trent Pasano.

Mueller and Steinmetz both worked for Aaron Bourque, an electrical crew foreman.

Bourque said Mueller appeared to be stressed out, telling Bourque that Mueller and others were drinking together in a hotel room. Mueller said he had a pistol and it fired. The bullet went into the wall that separated the motel rooms.

Mueller said the morning after the gun discharged police took a dead body from the adjacent room, according to Bourque.

Steinmetz told police that Mueller had been drinking a lot that night.

Pasano told police that Mueller had pointed a loaded pistol at Steinmetz, who ducked and told Mueller to stop.

According to Pasano, Mueller then pointed the gun in the direction of Pasano, pulled the trigger and fired.

The bullet missed Pasano and hit the wall separating rooms 348 and 349 of the motel.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
