Juvenile charged in high-speed WI homicide

[TBO]

A felony reckless homicide charge was filed Friday in Ashland County against a 16-year-old male alleged to be responsible for the high-speed death of a 21-year-old Odanah, Wisconsin man.

 

Mahzhaquad Ford was killed earlier this week, when he became entangled with a vehicle driven by the juvenile that crashed into a tree at a high rate of speed, the Ashland County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Friday. Preliminary investigative details suggested that an altercation ensued during a drug transaction that preceded Ford becoming entangled with the automobile.

 

The juvenile defendant is in custody and being charged with one felony count of first degree reckless homicide.

 

The car crashed in the woods on Birch Hill Road in the Township of Sanborn. Ford was pronounced dead at the scene by the Ashland County Coroner. A final cause of death determination is pending the result of an autopsy.

 

No charges have been filed against any other persons of interest at this time, the Sheriff's Office said, and the incident remains under investigation from the Sheriff's Office, Wisconsin State Patrol, the county coroner, and the Wisconsin State Crime Lab.

which is the bigger Meth Head?

 

the Meth Head who wanted the Meth so bad they held onto a speeding Meth car to Death?

or the Meth Head who wanted the Meth so bad they 'Entangled to Death' another Meth Head?

What meth head thought "Mahzhaquad" was a good idea for a name?  That was my first question.  The second question was, did no one see this coming for anyone named "Mahzhaquad"?  I mean there just seem to be some names that are destined to be Darwin Award winners.

"Preliminary investigative details suggested that an altercation ensued during a drug transaction that preceded Ford becoming entangled with the automobile. "

I'm curious to know how he got entangled with the automobile. Was he a passenger in the vehicle or was Mahzhaquad leaning up against the tree when the car ran into it?
