GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A man charged in a fatal Brown County crash has been ordered to stand trial.
51-year-old Terence Cisler is being charged with homicide by a vehicle for the May 15 crash, which killed Rodney Bosdeck.
Court records show Cisler is scheduled to enter a plea February 18.
Cisler is also facing a citation of failing to yield while making a left turn.
The crash happened in the town of Eaton when 57-year-old Rodney Bosdeck was heading west on Highway 29 riding his motorcycle when Cisler allegedly made a left turn in front of him.
The two crashed, which caused Bosdeck to hit the passenger side of the vehicle. Bosdeck was not wearing a helmet, according to officials.
Cisler told an officer he was on medication for his thyroid “and he was concerned because he had smoked marijuana” about eight hours before the crash, according to the criminal complaint.
The complaint says, “Terence did not appear to be impaired at this time, answering questions quickly and recalling the events prior to, during and after the crash.”
When describing the crash, Cisler said the motorcycle “came out of nowhere.”
A blood test later determined Cisler had marijuana in his system.
The allegation is that Cisler caused Bosdeck’s death “by the operation of a vehicle while having a detectable amount of a restricted controlled substance in his blood,” according to the charge.
No particular threshold or amount of drug is needed, as any presence of the drug can result in the charge, unlike in alcohol-related charges.
Cisler faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
