Trial for Humbird Man Involved in Accident that Resulted in Neillsville Women's Deaths Pushed Back

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2020 -- 11:09 AM

The trial date for a Humbird man involved in a two vehicle accident that resulted in the deaths of two Neillsville women has been moved back.

Back in December of 2017, Trenton Bemis was driving in the Town of Pine Valley after bowling with friends that night.  His truck crossed the center line and collided with another vehicle killing two Neillsville women.

The women, both single mothers, were 29-year-old Michelle Kunze and 35-year-old Genie Carrillo.  Arresting officers said Bemis’ BAC was 4 times the legal limit at the time of the crash.

Bemis is facing two counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, two counts of homicide by use of a vehicle with a PAC, and two counts of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle.

A jury trial was initially scheduled for Bemis in April of 2021, but after appearing in court yesterday, the trial will now begin on January 24th of 2022.
