ST. FRANCIS, Wis. - Investigators say a man was driving high on drugs and distracted by his phone when he hit and killed a jogger. It happened two years ago in St. Francis. The man had been showing up to court, but that ended in January.
What we know
In June 2023, police were called to the intersection of Kinnickinnic and Morgan, after a minivan hit a jogger.
Investigators say Richard Heimann was standing next to a damaged vehicle when they arrived. The 67-year-old victim was taken to the hospital and died days later.
What they're saying
"In the initial interview on scene, Mr. Heimann stated that he looked down to turn on his cellphone and struck somebody," the U.S. Marshal on the case said. "With his admitted drug use and abuse of illegal narcotics combined with the fact that he knows what he did was wrong…He's failing to show up and do the right thing now; definitely escalates his propensity for violence."

KCK Fire Department talk fireworks safety after two children seriously injured
KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Many of this weekend's celebrations will begin at roadside fireworks stands. Legal fireworks sales begin early Sunday morning for buyers in Kansas City, Kansas, and continue through the evening of July 4. That's why Wyandotte County safety officials are reminding people to be smart during celebrations. Tariffs may lead to more expensive fireworks across the metro this year On Friday morning, a special demonstration with KCK firefighters took the stage at the department's downtown headquarters, designed to remind the public carelessness with fireworks can be dangerous. Fire department leaders say 2024's fireworks season included more than 100 serious injuries across the metro. During Friday's demonstration, KCK Acting Fire Marshal Brian Hendon used an uncooked hotdog and a sparkler, exposing the meat to the flame. It showed how quickly skin can burn. Sparklers can burn as hot as 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. KCK Fire officials share these recommendations for fireworks safety: Never drink alcohol while using fireworks Keep a nearby water source to use in an emergency Never shoot fireworks at or from a moving car If a firework doesn't go off while burning, don't pick it up Avoid homes and businesses Don't attempt to tamper with prepackaged fireworks in an effort to make your own 'I hate to use the word bomb, but that's essentially what you're making. Now, you've exponentially made a much bigger device that you have no idea what's going to happen,' Hendon said. Where to watch fireworks in the Kansas City-area this year Last Sunday night, . A fire department spokesperson said they may have been using illegal fireworks. Hendon said they're now stable, and the case remains under investigation. Last year, metro emergency rooms were busy treating burn and blast injuries to eyes and hands. The University of Kansas Health System treated 49 of those cases. St. Luke's Health System, University Health and Advent Health/Shawnee Mission combined to treat an additional 23 patients. Download the FOX4 News app on iPhone and Android 'Following important safety advice when using fireworks can definitely prevent injuries,' Dr. Adam Algren, University Health Chair of Emergency Medicine, said. 'Unfortunately, we don't see many people practice recommended safety tips as often as we would like.' Hendon wants to remind fireworks users that bottle rockets remain illegal in Wyandotte County. If you're caught using them, you could be fined for it. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
