RICHLAND CENTER — A 56-year-old Muscoda man was charged with felony murder and felon possession of a firearm in connection with a death Sept. 29.

Judd Allen Frazier made his first Richland County Circuit Court appearance Tuesday on the charges, both of which have repeat-offender sentence enhancers.

Richland County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a medical call Sept. 26 and found a deceased man.

A Sheriff’s Office social media post said an investigation revealed an altercation involving the victim before the victim was found dead. 

Boscobel police arrested Frazier on a state Department of Corrections warrant Oct. 1.

Richland Center police, fire and EMS, the Richland County coroner’s office and the Dane County medical examiner’s office assisted the Sheriff’s Office.

Frazier was placed on three years probation after he pleaded no contest June 6 to a Crawford County charge of vehicle operator fleeing or eluding an officer for a June 2024 incident.

Frazier was sentenced to two years in prison and two years extended supervision in Lafayette County in 2022 after he pleaded no contest to second-degree recklessly endangering safety — domestic abuse as a repeat offender, and resisting or obstructing an officer as a repeat offender. 

Frazier was sentenced to 3½ years in prison and 3½ years extended supervision after he pleaded guilty in Iowa County in May 2017 to seventh, eighth- or ninth-offense operating while intoxicated.
