Jason Tourtillott
NEKOOSA, WI (WSAU) — A 26-year-old has been arrested in connection with the death of his father nearly four years ago.
Police in Nekoosa arrested Jason Tourtillott on Tuesday for one count of first-degree homicide. Officers believe he killed Thomas Tourtillott on July 22nd, 2021.
Jason is being held in the Wood County jail on a $1 million cash bond. Court records indicate an arrest warrant was issued for him Tuesday morning. He was in custody by about 1:30 PM
Thomas was found dead in his home after a report of an unresponsive person. Evidence at the scene suggested foul play and officers immediately named Jason as a person of interest. It’s unclear what evidence led them to issue a warrant.
His next court appearance is February 17th for a preliminary hearing and arrangement where he will enter a plea to the charge. He faces a mandatory life sentence if found guilty.
