A Durand man is facing a felony charge for allegedly assaulting a hunter he believed to be trespassing on a private road.
Ronald W. Larson, 59, W2039 County FF, was charged Dec. 8 with substantial battery and disorderly conduct. According to the criminal complaint:
Brandon Wilson told authorities that on Oct. 25 he was bow hunting on a friend’s land with permission and was parked on land belonging to his cousin, with both pieces of land accessed by an easement road off County Q. As he was walking out of the woods Larson confronted him and asked him who had given him written permission, told him he was under citizen’s arrest and tried to confiscate his bow.
