TV News Photographer Arrested in Fatal Hit and Run

A TV News Photographer for WISN (Milwaukee) has been arrested in the death of a 66-year-old man.

Waukesha County prosecutors have charged Photog Edward Ford with hit and run.

The criminal complaint says Ford told police he did not know what he struck, but thought it was a deer or turkey.

Ford allegedly told police that when he looked at the damage to his car, he knew it wasn't a turkey. The criminal complaint states he did not stop at the scene and continued to his residence. However, the complaint states Ford then called police, said that he hit something and met police at the intersection.

WISN covered the story of Ford’s arrest and stated that Ford was an employee of the station.

They also pointed out that Ford was not working at the time of the crash.

Police have not released the name of the victim.
