OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - An Oshkosh man is due back in court a week from Thursday, on charges that he struck and killed a driver who was waiting for a train to pass through, and then walked away.
32-year-old Joshua Ronnfeldt was placed under a $100,000 bond Wednesday in Winnebago County in connection with last weekend's death of 53-year-old Carmine DeAngelis of Winneconne.
Further proceedings are planned for next Thursday, and a preliminary hearing is set for October 20th on felony charges of drunken homicide, hit-and-run while causing death, and causing a traffic death while his license was revoked.
He's also charged with misdemeanor bail jumping connected with a pending disorderly conduct charge.
Authorities said Ronnfeldt was speeding when his vehicle slammed into a car that was stopped for a train in Oshkosh last Sunday night. Officials said he walked away, and was found hiding in a bush nearby.
His blood alcohol level was 0.16, twice the legal limit for drunk driving.
