Former Cashton educator charged in connection to hit-list, reaches diversion agreement
Michelle Herricks will plead guilty or no contest, complete a two year program, and avoid any jail time
CASHTON, Wis. (WKBT) — The former Cashton educator, charged in connection to a hit-list, has agreed to a plea deal.
As News 8 Now first reported in July, investigators say Michelle Herricks wrote a list of teacher’s names and the phrases “shoot em, stab em, blow em up” and made it appear like two students wrote it. A security camera caught Herricks dropping the note in a school hallway. She told police her son had problems with one of the students at the top of the list, but she denied any involvement.
