De Pere man wanted for attempted homicide

Law enforcement is looking for a De Pere man wanted for attempted homicide and other charges stemming from an incident May 24 in Shawano. Jordan K. Feemster, 31, was charged June 11 with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless endangering safety, and misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property. Feemster was not taken into custody, and Shawano-Menominee Circuit Court Judge William Kussel Jr. ordered a body-only arrest warrant. According to the criminal complaint, the victim in the incident was getting ready to go out for the night on May 24 when Feemster allegedly asked for her phone passcode. Feemster allegedly saw a message from a co-worker and then pushed her into the bathtub and hit her on the left side of her head. After allegedly dragging the victim from the bathroom to the bedroom, Feemster allegedly went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, and then he put the knife to her side and neck, according to the complaint. Feemster allegedly told the victim he was going to “kill her” and said, “I don’t care anymore.” The victim allegedly told Feemster that she loved him and wanted to be with him, claiming Feemster had a history of talking about self-harm. Feemster’s mother was allegedly called to help calm him down. The victim got out of the house and jumped into her vehicle, but Feemster allegedly chased her to the Shawano County Sheriff’s Office, where she ran inside for help and he fled, according to the complaint. The Shawano Police Department found a knife on the bed and asked the victim if it was the one used to cause a 3-inch laceration on her neck, and she claimed it was. There was also an injury found on the victim’s knee and blood on the victim’s shirt, according to the complaint. Feemster faces a maximum of 60 years in prison for the attempted homicide charge, a maximum of 12½ years for the recklessly endangering safety charge along with a maximum $25,000 fine, and up to nine months and $10,000 for the two misdemeanor charges. According to the complaint, Feemster was driving a 2018 Ford Focus with the Wisconsin license plate AWS-5923. He was last seen on a camera system in the Appleton area. lpulaski@newmedia-wi.com
