Local NewsMan Pleads Not Guilty in Garage DeathBALSAM LAKE, Wis. (AP) -- A northwestern Wisconsin man says he was defending himself when killed his longtime friend. Sixty-two-year-old Wayne Rouillard pleaded not guilty to first-degree intentional homicide in Polk County Circuit Court Tuesday. A criminal complaint says Rouillard used a claw hammer, a knife and a wood-splitting maul to kill 61-year-old Stephen Dahlstrom Nov. 28. Police say Dahlstrom was found in a pool of blood in Rouillard's garage near Luck. His ankles were tied to a workbench and a knife was in his chest. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports Rouillard told police he and Dahlstrom were watching TV and drinking vodka when Dahlstrom "went berserk" and tried to stab him with an ice pick or screwdriver. ------ Information from: St. Paul Pioneer Press, http://www.twincities.com (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press.
