Alleged: Peter W. Mischler

A man accused of shooting two goats after getting upset with his wife for not buying beer has been ordered to stand trial.

Peter W. Mischler was charged in Waupaca County Circuit Court with mistreatment of animals, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon.

The criminal complaint said Mischler came home from hunting and became angry with his 22-year-old daughter for letting the goats out and making a mess on Nov. 19.

Authorities said that while she was talking on the phone to her mother he told her to tell his wife to bring home some beer, but his wife refused because she was already on her way home.

After his wife arrived home, she and the daughter heard four gunshots and went outside and found the two goats shot.

Judge Raymond Huber set an arraignment for Jan. 22.
