An Oconto Falls man has been charged in Shawano-Menominee County Circuit Court with two counts of first-degree reckless homicide, two counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and homicide by use of a vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration from a crash one year ago.
Tylor M. Georgia, 28, was charged Nov. 2 in the deaths of two people who were in his vehicle on County Road BB on Nov. 9, 2025, when the vehicle, traveling northbound when it entered a ditch and barrel rolled a number of times, ejected three people.
According to the criminal complaint, none of the people in the vehicle were wearing seat belts at the time. One passenger had his head crushed between the ground and vehicle window frame, while the passenger in the rear died from injuries after being ejected.
Investigators believe Georgia survived the crash because he was ejected when the vehicle connected with the ground instead of being thrown into the air.
Georgia’s iPhone made an automatic call to the 911 dispatch center, according to the criminal complaint, and he told dispatchers he’d been in a crash and had sustained injuries. Medical records obtained by investigators showed he’d fractured four to six of his ribs.
According to the complaint, Georgia had gone to a home on Highway 32 near Gillett the evening of Nov. 8, 2025, and allegedly was drinking there. Georgia had bought the vehicle in the crash that night for $300 and allegedly claimed he was going to use it either as a winter vehicle or scrap it out for parts. Prior to the crash, he allegedly stopped at a bar in Advance and bought several bottles of water to put in the radiator so the motor didn’t blow out.
Several witnesses indicated Georgia had been swerving and gunning the gas pedal in the vehicle after drinking.
Reports showed Georgia’s blood-alcohol level was 0.084 when his blood was drawn.
The Shawano-Menominee County District Attorney’s Office requested a $150,000 cash bond at an initial appearance Nov. 4, while a public defender requested $10,000. Judge Katherine Sloma set a $20,000 bond, and court records indicate it was posted later in the day.
Sloma scheduled a status conference for Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. to see if Georgia has obtained permanent legal representation. Online court records did not indicate if Georgia qualified for a public defender.
