A Fond du Lac County judge has sentenced a 35-year-old North Fond du Lac man on two counts of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle for a fatal accident on Interstate 41 in Fond du Lac. Travis Wollersheim was sentenced Wednesday afternoon to 12 months of conditional jail time, 3 years of probation, and 120 hours of community service. District Attorney Eric Toney said, “There were no winners in court today and no sentence from the court could ever be enough to place a value on the lives of David and Joseph.” Wollersheim ran into the back of a car in a construction zone in Fond du Lac on I-41 on June 22nd, 2016. The crash killed 26-year-old David Button and his 8-year-old son Joseph both from Neenah. According to the criminal complaint Wolersheim was going 68 miles an hour when his SUV ran into the back of the car that was behind a stopped semi on I-41. The Buttons were passengers in the car he rear-ended.
