WAUKESHA - A New Berlin man has been charged after he reportedly
lunged at another student with a knife a day after he showed the
weapon to his class and threatened to kill someone while in summer
school at Waukesha South High School.
Tate Trottier Wasielewski, 18, was charged Thursday with the
negligent handling of a weapon, as well as two counts of disorderly
conduct. All are misdemeanor charges and he could face up to 12
months in jail if convicted.
A criminal complaint in the case said police were called to South
on July 22 after a disturbance in a classroom. There, a student
reported he was in a home economics class with Wasielewski when they
were cutting an object with a scissors. Wasielewski reportedly
pulled out a buck knife with a folding blade, saying, "I’ve
got something that can cut it faster," the complaint said.
