A jury trial for Kevin P. Brown in connection with the December hit-and-run incident has been canceled as the defendant prepares to change his plea.
A jury trial for the 54-year-old Port Washington man charged in a hit-and-run incident that injured 82-year-old Dolores Kopacz on Dec. 19 has been canceled as the defendant prepares to change his plea. Kevin P. Brown, 556 W. Chestnut St., had entered a plea of not guilty in early January, and a trial had been set to start early June. A plea hearing has now been set for 3 p.m. June 13. Brown remains in custody since being charged with the incident pending a $40,000 bail. That amount is a reduction in bail from the original $75,000, after a request by attorney James Martz. Martz had requested a $5,000 bail — but that motion was denied. According to the criminal complaint, Brown had been on his way to work in Sheboygan when he struck Kopacz, …

A roundup of the latest activity from the police blotter.
Perhaps it was Frosty the Snowman's handiwork or the Abominable Snowman's ultimate plan of attack — but either way, this frosty situation had one Belguim woman worried. Police responded to a call at 11:29 p.m. Jan. 10 of a loud, thumping noise in the 100 block of East James Drive. The 47-year-old Belgium woman who called police said the noise was coming from the building's basement. Police were able to determine the noise was occurring because of a defrosting freezer located in the basement. Hopefully the problem was caught before its contents were too-far thawed. More from the reports:
Kevin P. Brown appeared in court with his attorney to ask the court to reconsider bail in connection with the December incident; part of proposal includes working with alcohol rehabilitation center.
A bail reduction has been granted for the 54-year-old Port Washington man charged in a hit-and-run incident that injured 82-year-old Dolores Kopacz on Dec. 19 — but it remains unclear whether the reduction is enough to allow the man to get the help his attorney says he needs. During a court hearing on Tuesday, Judge Paul Malloy reduced bail to $40,000 for Kevin P. Brown, 556 W. Chestnut St.; bail had been originally issued on Dec. 20 at $75,000. On Dec. 27, Brown's attorney, James Martz, had requested a $5,000 bail — but that motion was denied. Martz appeared in court on Tuesday for a second request to reduce bail, explaining that Brown's family members were arranging finances in order to admit Brown to a program that would help him with …
