todayFebruary 25, 2015

A Fond du lac man involved in a shootout with police a little more than a year ago has reached a plea agreement.  A plea and sentencing hearing is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon for Shannon Rogler.   If the judge accepts the agreement a plea and sentencing hearing will be scheduled for a later date. Rogler is charged  with attempted first degree intentional homicide, burglary, arson and failure to comply with an officer’s attempt to take a person into custody.    Fond du lac assistant police chief Steve Klein says Rogler set fire to a vacant house on North Hickory Street and then was involved in a standoff with Fond du Lac police at his apartment in the Elms Mobile Home park on South Main Street on December 9th 2013.  He surrendered to police after about five hours.  Nobody was injured.   Rogler fired multiple shots at officers on the scene, but according to the criminal complaint Rogler said he was not trying to kill the officers.  Police say they believe Rogler was trying to harm officers.
