A man charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle made his first court appearance Thursday.
29-year-old Michael Fenolio appeared in a Dane County courtroom Thursday afternoon.
He faces charges in connection with a crash last month near Cottage Grove Road.
50 year old motorcyclist Michael Jurgens was killed.
Fenolio faces eight charges, including homicide by drunken driving.
He's jailed on $45,000 bail.
This is Fenolio's 5th OWI charge.

First of all Mike came from an abusive home. His father died when he was 14, his mother committed suicide when he was 18. Both parents were alcoholics that physically and mentally abused him and his younger brother from the moment they stepped foot into this world. I'm not by any means making excuses for his actions, however, this man had no chance for a socially acceptable life. Has anyone even thought for a moment why nobody has wrote in his defense? Everyone quoted on how his "family" should feel, yet know body from is "family" left comments in his defense... It's because he has no family or support. Only " so-called friend" support

John- I'm so sorry for your loss & I can't imagine the pain you are going through. I'd like to comment on your post, regarding Mike's subsequent arrest in McFarland. I know on paper it looks really bad that he was arrested after the accident that killed your brother, not the kind of repentence you respect, I know, but it is quite the contrary...From the night of the accident up until that last arrest, Mike was a mess. He couldn't sleep, nightmares of the accident haunted him, he didn't want to live with himself, his guilt over your brother's death consumed him. He wanted to die himself. These feelings took him over. So many terrible emotions led to that final arrest. That night he did not drive and was arrested at home. It was a calapse of emotions. Those of us who know Mike, know that he is extremely sorry, & his remorse did not start after he went jail, it started the night of the accident & never let go of him. Again I am so sorry for your loss & sorry someone I love is responsible.

If it's okay with the judge and your attorney, it's all right with me. Instead of it being public, why don't you get my address and John's and Chuck's (Chuck also lives in Minocqua) and write it privately; no need for the whole world to know. I know what the judge said but he might be willing to change his mind once he knows Mike's motives.
