"The employee is in stable condition and is conscious," Mathis said. "At this point, our main focus is on the employee and his family."
Man sentenced for sex assault
A Beloit man was sentenced to one year in jail with probation for sexually assaulting a child.
William Robert Blaser, 51, of the 1800 block of Sun Valley Drive, Beloit, was sentenced to 10 years probation with one year in jail for first degree sexual assault of a child. He made a plea deal after a jury trial was already in progress, and a second count of first degree sexual assault of a child was dismissed.
According to criminal complaint, he regularly had young girls over at his house to watch movies and have squirt gun fights. The young girls were introduced to him through his relatives.
In another case, charges against him for interfering with child custody and obstruction were dismissed.
