‘Danger to the community’

Prosecutor­sseek bailhikefo­ralleged killerofte­acher

-

Wild, a former North Central College football star who taught at Naperville’s Spring Brook Elementary School, attempted to stop Olaska from fleeing and died after being stabbed once in the chest, authoritie­s said.

Wild’s fatal stabbing also was captured on videotape, though the images aren’t as clear as the initial attack on Hayes, officials have said.

Before the deadly altercatio­n, Olaska followed and harassed two women patrons, then argued loudly about the Super Bowl with a man and woman before cursing at the woman, the documents contend.

After the stabbings, Olaska tried to escape the club by telling police he had been injured in the attacks, prosecutor­s said in the new filing.

Prosecutor­s also said they fear Olaska — who has some training as a pilot— could be a flight risk if he is freed on bail.

Defense attorney Brian Telander said he would “vigorously” oppose efforts to change Olaska’s bail, noting Olaska has never been arrested or even been in trouble before being charged with the stabbings.

“This is a situation he never thought he’d find himself in,” Telander said after Olaska’s court appearance Thursday.
