A hefty cash bail has been set for a Fond du lac teenager accused of trying to kill his stepfather with a tire iron. Nineteen year old Ryan Robison made his initial Fond du lac court appearance Thursday on multiple charges including attempted homicide. Fond du lac judge Robert Wirtz set bail at $400,000 cash. District Attorney Eric Toney says Robison is accused of attacking his stepfather, 73 year old Gary Bloedorn, with a tire iron at the Evergreen apartments near the Forest Mall. Bloedorn suffered severe head injuries and part of a finger was severed in the attack. He is in critical condition at Theda Care Medical Center in Neenah. Police say Robison stole Bloedorn’s car and was arrested later in Sun Prairie. Toney says Robison has some mental issues including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 25.
