According to the East Troy Police Department, officers were called out to a residence near Lenck Avenue and Main Street on Wednesday night, May 13, around 7 p.m.
Police say a woman called 911, stating a male had a knife and was chasing her and her husband. Village of East Troy police arrived within minutes. The woman’s husband had been stabbed in the head. When police arrived at the scene, the woman and her husband exited the residence. The man was taken to the hospital. A perimeter was established around the residence, and attempts were made to contact the male suspect. The Walworth County SWAT team was deployed. Chemical agents were deployed with no result.

Click It or Ticket is a national high-visibility enforcement campaign that focuses specifically on the consequences of not wearing a seat belt while urging riders to always buckle up.
The Click It or Ticket program started in North Carolina in 1993. It was the first statewide occupant protection campaign in the United States. This innovative program combined 3,000 enforcement checkpoints, paid advertising, and earned media to build public awareness. The program was officially rolled out nationwide in 2003 and continues to run annually, typically during the busy travel period surrounding the Memorial Day holiday.
A High-Visibility Enforcement Campaign run by local police departments runs until May 31, 2026. State and local law enforcement will ramp up patrols to ensure every passenger and driver is buckled on roads, hoping to help save lives. While 47% of front-seat fatalities involved unbelted occupants, that number jumps to 58% for those in the back seat. Let’s work together to bring those statistics down, and remember to click it or ticket it.
