On August 11, 2024 around 4:40 A.M. Officers from the Kaukauna Police Department along with EMS services responded to a single vehicle motorcycle crash. One of the reporting parties mentioned that there was a female victim who appeared to be deceased and that a male fled the scene on foot.
When officers arrived, there were two witnesses doing chest compressions on the female victim (Arianna). Officers took over and began doing the chest compressions until EMS arrived. The victim was quickly placed into an ambulance and transported to the hospital where she was pronounced deceased shortly after 5:00A.M. by a medical professional.
Other nearby witnesses also stated that a younger white male fled from the accident scene. An officer approached the crashed motorcycle and saw that it was a Harley-Davidson with no license plate on it. A check of the vin number revealed that it was registered to a residence in the area. Officers went to the registered owner's house but nobody answered the door. Shortly later, a Sheriff’s Deputy located a male who matched the description of the suspect that was running nearby. The individual had tears in clothes and had injuries that appeared to have just happened. He immediately admitted to being the motorcycle operator and identified himself as Zachary.
Zachary denied going to the hospital but agreed to get checked out by EMS. He was then transported to the jail to complete field sobriety tests. A PBT test revealed a BAC of .110 and Zackary was transported to the hospital for a blood draw. While at the hospital, officers began asking Zackary questions.
Zackary stated that he rides motorcycles approximately twice per year and was being “young and dumb.” He mentioned that he just met Arianna via snapchat about 2 weeks ago and this was their first time meeting in person. Zackary also admitted to not having a valid drivers license and said the motorcycle was his brother's. He said that Arianna got dropped off at his house and they were chatting and drinking when he went into the garage. Zackary said that Arianna saw multiple motorcycles in the garage and wanted to go for a ride. He said he tried multiple times to get her to wear a helmet but Arianna refused. Zackary said he was driving and took a turn too fast at approximately 50 MPH in a 35 MPH zone and the bike “slipped out from under him.” He said he immediately ran towards Arianna to check on her after the crash. He said he saw a lot of blood and decided to run because he was scared. Zachary mentioned that he checked for a pulse but did not feel one. He said he saw a female checking on Arianna when he got scared and decided to run away. Zachary stated that he had injuries to his legs, knees, arms, and hands.
Zachary was found guilty for Homicide by Intoxicated Use of Vehicle and Hit and Run-Involving Death. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and ordered to pay $27.500 in restitution to the victim's family.
