10 February 2024 News
During a preliminary hearing in Fond du Lac County court Friday a 19-year-old West Bend man facing a hit-and-run causing great bodily harm charge was bound over for trial. Jatziel Encarnacion allegedly hit and dragged the body of 19-year-old Taya Grimes of Hartford three miles from the scene of the original accident. The charge he faces is related to a second person he hit at that scene who was in the roadway and was struck in the head. Grimes was driving a vehicle that rolled over ejecting herself and three others. Investigators suspect she was dead before Encarnacion’s vehicle hit and dragged her. She and her passengers were coming from an underage drinking party. According to the criminal complaint Encarnacion was spotted drinking at that same party. One witness was called during Friday’s hearing, Sheriff’s Detective Eric Muellenbach.
