A 62-year-old Holmen man was charged Thursday in La Crosse County Circuit Court after allegedly firing a weapon at three workers maintaining a utility line. David B. Brady faces a felony charge of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
According to the criminal complaint, a Dairyland Power Cooperative worker contacted Bradyâs wife March 3 and informed her of maintenance work scheduled for later that day on Bradyâs Hwy. XX property in the town of Onalaska. The complaint says all three workers were wearing green neon work shirts with the Dairyland insignia.
The workers were cutting and spraying brush, when one of the workers heard a dog barking followed by Bradyâs voice and three gunshots, one of which hit the grass nearby.
