GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — A teen accused of attacking his mother with a hedge trimmer in Suamico was ordered to stand trial Monday.
Ramone Waupoose, 16, was charged as an adult last summer with attempted first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless injury after allegedly attacking his mother with the yard tool.
During a preliminary hearing Monday, Judge Beau Liegeois found enough probable cause to move the case forward.
Waupoose’s defense said last week it would seek a reverse waiver, which allows a juvenile prosecuted as an adult to petition to have the case transferred to juvenile court with a judge’s approval.
An issue was raised Monday regarding Waupoose’s age, as he turns 17 in May. Juvenile court in Wisconsin typically handles cases of defendants younger than 17 years old.
A hearing on the matter is scheduled for April 30.
