A Kenosha County man had his first court appearance after being in a mental hospital for 40 days. Asher J. Schroeder, 19, of Randall, was charged on December 3, 2024, with attempted murder and a $150,000 warrant was issued for his arrest. Schroeder has since been released from Winnebago Mental Health Institute to stand trial.

According to the criminal complaint:
On November 25, 2024, at approximately 3:13 p.m., Kenosha County Sheriff deputies responded to the town of Randall for a medical call with a law enforcement response. The dispatcher told police that the caller’s son had stabbed her other son with a knife and was refusing to put it down.
She stated that her son needed help and that he was inside the home. When police arrived, Schroeder came out of the house with his hands up. He had blood all over his body. He was in placed into custody.
Police went into the home and found his brother badly injured with stab wounds on his wrist, left arm, elbow, neck, abdomen, and arm.
Police make contact with the victim at the hospital who said the attack was unprovoked and Schroeder said nothing before he started stabbing him. The victim initially thought he was being punched but realized he was being stabbed. He required many stitches.
Schroeder told deputies that he was trying to kill his brother because if he didn’t, he (Schroeder) would die.

Court commissioner William Michael II agreed stating that the victim was lucky to be alive and ordered a $150,000 cash bail. Commissioner Michael also ordered a psychological competency evaluation.
Schroeder recently had a violent case and former prosecutor T. Clair Binger agreed to drop all charges if he stayed out of trouble.
Schroeder is due in court for a competency hearing on January 21, 2025 at 2:00 p.m.

Eye dids nuffing
That’s funny but true
Lazy prosecutor will do a plea deal for recklessly endangering safety.
asher’s brother here, thanks for leaving out the fact that he was IN PSYCHOSIS when this happened. only telling people he was in a mental hospital before trial isn’t enough and the headline of this article makes him look like a killer due to the lack of context. literally the ONLY reason this happened was because he was in psychosis and you failed to mention it. i know it’s probably not intentional but you’re making my brother look worse than he is and it’s crazy that i have to tell you this.
I feel sorry for your brother and his mental illness. The fact remains that he is dangerous and belongs in a cage for the rest of his life, so he doesn’t kill somebody like he almost killed you.
whether the cage has bars or is padded, I agree
wow kev head received more down thumbs than I usualy do . I will be shocked if kev does not remove or edit his comment. as a christian dude/media mogal, who is he to judge
are you ignorant or did you not even read what i said? when did i tell you he shouldn’t be locked up? i’m saying you failed to mention he was IN PSYCHOSIS which is key info. i agree he should be locked up but not mentioning the biggest piece of info is what i don’t agree with. you made him look like a horrible human being when he’s not, he just has mental illness. mention that next time.
If his attorney didn’t advise you against discussing
his case in a public forum, he needs to get a new one.
Perhaps knowing his issues in the past, his family should have taken precautions such as mental health treatment and proper meds… rather than hopes and wishes that he wouldn’t act out again.
A mental health issue isn’t a reason for something to get a free pass. If he cannot control himself, then someone needs to take control of him. You don’t wait until after something happens, then make excuses.

You missed the comma, and inserted an m instead.
you misspelt “assbag” as Anonymous
Thank you!
what does this mean Schroeder told deputies that he was trying to kill his brother because if he didn’t, he (Schroeder) would die
If he didn’t kill his brothe, he himself would die.
