Man who burned truck given two years' probation

EAU CLAIRE — A man charged in Eau Claire County after authorities responded to a vehicle fire avoided an immediate jail term, but still faces legal exposure in Trempealeau County. Connor Koxlien, 31, Strum, pleaded guilty to arson of property other than a building. The court stayed his 90-day sentence in favor of two years’ probation. The case began in January, after a report of a vehicle fire at Highway 53 and Otter Creek Road in Washington Township. Officers who responded found Koxlien nearby. According to the criminal complaint, he was disoriented and confused, but told them he had started the fire. He wasn’t sure how he arrived at his location. The truck was owned by Koxlien’s father’s business in Trempealeau County, leading to charges there as well. He faces charges of theft of movable property valued between $10,000 and $100,000 and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent. Those charges carry higher potential penalties than the Eau Claire County case. A plea and sentencing hearing is scheduled for later this month.

FMP ends Eau Claire pop-ups, announces local food support

EAU CLAIRE — Feed My People Food Bank has announced the end of regular pop-up distributions in Eau Claire, but says food support to partner pantries in the area will strengthen local efforts. Executive Director Padraig Gallagher said the decision was made earlier than planned, due to a change in access to a neighboring property. This change will only affect distributions held onsite at their Eau Claire facility. He said efforts to reduce the number of distributions through their Eau Claire facility began in the second half of 2026. “And we intended to end regular distributions at the end of the year while maintaining the ability to provide emergency or response distributions if there was another food share freeze,” he said. “If there was any sort of community emergency or if getting food out would have been necessary, we were going to. “The biggest reason for that is we wanted to use our facility to focus on supporting the other pantries and programs that we support here in Eau Claire and throughout our 14 county region.” Amid the changes, FMP also announced they would be providing $12,000 in additional food support to 20 partner pantries. This food support will focus
