EAU CLAIRE — A Chippewa Falls man faces multiple felony charges after authorities say he caused a crash attempting to speed away from a sheriff’s deputy.
Cameron Bosire, 17, is charged with first degree recklessly endangering safety, attempting to flee or elude an officer, possession of THC and bail jumping. The case was filed in June and is the second this year involving Bosire and a car driven in a dangerous manner.
According to the criminal complaint, a deputy on patrol spotted a vehicle being driven 74 mph in a 40 mph zone on North Hastings Way. When the speed limit went up to 50, the car sped up to 84 mph.
The deputy tried to pull Bosire over, but he refused to stop. He got off the road at North Crossing and struck a pickup truck in the intersection, injuring two people in the truck.
The deputy spotted an open Twisted Tea in Bosire’s vehicle, as well as marijuana.
The incident happened while Bosire was out on bond for an April case that saw him charged with second degree recklessly endangering safety. In that case officers were called to a home at which a party was being thrown.
The criminal complaint in that case said people at the party had already been warned by police to keep the noise down. But this call was from a woman in attendance saying Bosire had been calling and texting her. She believed he was becoming a threat.
She showed the officer several “antagonistic” threats indicating Bosire’s displeasure at her attending the party. Eventually Bosire showed up, honking his car’s horn repeatedly outside the residence.
When the woman went out and told Bosire the party had already been warned about noise and asked him to leave, Bosire turned the car’s wheels toward her and accelerated. She “believed Bosire was attempting to hit her with his vehicle.”
Bosire struck a vehicle and a tree as he was leaving, and threw out two empty Twisted Tea cans into the yard.
The woman’s account was backed up by other witnesses and, importantly, a neighbor. The neighbor told officers he came out to ask Bosire to quit honking his horn. When Bosire drove off he missed the man “by inches.” The car came so close that the neighbor drew a handgun in self defense.
That account was supported by video taken by the neighbor’s girlfriend.
When an officer called Bosire, he said he had been asleep and that he had not been anywhere near the party. The officer went to Bosire’s residence and saw damage to the car consistent with the damage to the vehicle and tree at the party. Bosire could not explain debris on the car’s tires the officer believed to be from when the car jumped the curb.
While the cases both involve felony charges, neither is at the high end of Wisconsin’s scale. First degree recklessly endangering safety is a Class F felony, while attempting to flee or elude an officer is a Class H felony. They are punishable by up to 12.5 years in prison and six years in prison, respectively, and fines that can reach $100,000.
The second degree recklessly endangering safety charge is a Class G felony, which could carry 10 years in prison and fines of up to $25,000.
