Arlin Sangster, Brandon Boehm, and Christian Emerson
STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — One of the Wausau-area men accused of beating a 71-year-old Stevens Point man who died from his injuries is scheduled for a plea hearing on Friday
Brandon Boehm will be in court at 11:30, facing a felony count for reckless homicide and misdemeanor theft of movable property. Investigators say the 21-year-old was one of three men who beat Donald Mitchell Jr after they were caught rummaging through his vehicle, looking to steal items of value.
Mitchell confronted the group before they turned on him, severely beating him and leaving him in the downtown parking lot. He was rushed to a Stevens Point hospital and then taken to Wausau, where he died the next day.
Doctors said he had multiple fractured ribs and nearly every bone in his face was broken.
Boehm has previously pled not guilty to the charges. He faces up to 46 years in prison if found guilty by a judge.
Two additional men faced charges in the incident. Christian Emerson is due to be sentenced on February 28th after pleading no contest to reckless homicide in early January. Arlin Sangster is serving a 20-year prison sentence after he was found guilty of reckless homicide and theft of movable property at trial in August. A fourth individual was initially suspected but was cleared of any wrongdoing.
