OSHKOSH, Wis. — Testimony continues in the trial of a former Oshkosh West High School student accused of stabbing a police resource officer.
Grant Fuhrman is charged in Winnebago County Court with Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide.
Fuhrman allegedly stabbed Officer Mike Wissink with a barbecue fork in his school office back in December of 2019.
On Monday, Fuhrman’s former girlfriend, Melissa Martin, testified about an online conversation she had with him in which he made comments about harming Wissink prior to the attack.
Prosecuting attorney Tracy Paider asked Martin, “at some point in time, prior to December 2019, had the defendant ever threatened Officer Wissink?”
“Yes,” Martin replied.
“What did he do?” Paider asked.
“He texted me on Snapchat threatening to stab Officer Wissink with a pencil,” Martin said.
“What did he want to do after he stabbed him?” asked Paider.
“Grab his gun,” Martin replied.
“Did he say why?” Paider asked.
“No,” Martin answered.
Investigators never recovered the conversation from Fuhrman’s or Martin’s cellphones but did recover one the morning of the attack in which Fuhrman told Martin he could not sleep and had lots on his mind.
Fuhrman faces up to 80 years in prison if convicted.
