This is an odd one, out of Chippewa Falls.
"Groom accused of tossing knife at guest"
A groom is accused of throwing a knife at his wedding reception and injuring a young man wrapped in duct tape.
Matthew J. Willi, 46, is charged with felony second-degree reckless endangerment and misdemeanor endangering safety with a dangerous weapon.
The criminal complaint says the victim was with some 17-year-old friends, and with Willi's son. The two youths played with wooden swords, which split at one point.
A friend wrapped the victim's upper body in duct tape and someone commented he looked like a pinata.
Willi, the groom, wanted to hit him with a wooden sword, but the others wouldn't let him.
Willi then allegedly grabbed a handful of knives at a house. The complaint says Willis threw one, hitting the victim in the upper chest. He was charged last week.
I wonder how Mrs. Matthew J. Willi reacted to this. I would not have been happy if my new husband was tossing knives around.
I've always said that duct tape and wooden swords have no place at wedding receptions.
