TIMEWELL, Ill. -- A Timewell man has been indicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter and arrested in connection with the death of his wife on Nov. 9, 2010, at their travel trailer near Timewell.
David L. Dunn, 61, of rural Timewell, voluntarily surrendered to Brown County Sheriff Karl Groesch late Tuesday afternoon. He is lodged in the Schuyler County Jail in Rushville in lieu of $150,000 bond.
The indictment alleges Dunn, acting in a reckless manner when he discharged a .308 rifle and the bullet struck his wife, Christine Mary â Chrissi' Dunn, 56, a New Zealand native. She was pronounced dead at the scene that night at their travel trailer.
The Brown County grand jury heard testimony from a special agent of the Illinois State Police during two evening sessions before returning a true bill of indictment on July 14, according to Brown County State's Attorney Mark L. Vincent. The indictment was sealed pending the arrest of Dunn, who was out of the country at the time.
Vincent said the Class 2 felony charge carries a possible term of imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than 14 years in the Department of Corrections.
