Case suspended for man charged with killing motorcyclist in Fond du Lac

The man charged with intentionally striking and killing a motorcyclist in Fond du Lac last year has been found not competent to stand trial, at least for the time being.

On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, Fond du Lac County Judge Anthony Nehls ruled 68-year-old Mark Snider returned to court for a competency hearing.

Because of the ruling, Snider’s case has been suspended while he receives psychiatric treatment, which could make him competent in the future to understand the charges he’s facing.

Snider was charged after Fond du Lac police believed that he intentionally swerved into the path of 26-year-old Elijah Sowin’s motorcycle in the 600 block of South Main Street as they both drove northbound on March 28th last year.

Snider is due back in court on June 10th for a competency evaluation.
