Jury Trial for Man Involved with Osseo Shooting Incident Cancelled
Tuesday, October 13th, 2015 -- 9:25 AM
-A man involved in a shooting near Osseo had his jury trial for this week cancelled.Back in September of 2014, the Trempealeau County Sheriff's Department received a call from 46-year-old Wendy Hageness saying there was an unwelcomed man at her home. Wendy's husband, Jon Hageness, arrived home and the man, William Ledford, pulled a gun on Hageness and ordered him inside the home. Once they were inside, gunshots were heard by the responding officers. Ledford then came outside and was arrested.
Ledford is a relative of Wendy Hageness. Jon Hageness suffered a gunshot wound to the back, but the injury was not fatal and he recovered. Ledford has been charged with attempted murder, theft, burglary and more and he pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
He was scheduled for a jury trial starting Monday and going through Thursday of this week. However, his attorney entered a motion to withdraw as Ledford's attorney which was approved by the judge. A new attorney will be found for Ledford and his trial will proceed at a later date. His $500,000 cash bond was ordered to continue.
