Lancaster man accused of killing PDC resident
A Grant County man jailed in Prairie du Chien is suspected of reckless homicide in another man’s stabbing death.
Thirty-nine-year-old Jessie Slaughter of Lancaster is jail, following an initial court appearance in Crawford County Court on Monday. Prairie du Chien police say 65-year-old Daniel Welsch was found dead inside a house in that city last Friday night, October 25th. Welsch reportedly died after being attacked with a sharp object.
Slaughter was arrested the next day. The two men reportedly knew each other.
A warrant had been issued for Slaughter’s arrest after he failed to show up for a court hearing in Oneida County this summer. His next hearing in Crawford County is expected in mid-November.
