Two teens held in handgun sale


The gun was placed under a bush at Denmark High School

Two teen-age boys have been arrested and jailed for allegedly selling a handgun on the Denmark High School campus.

Cole W. Niles, 18, De Pere, was charged in Brown County Circuit Court on Monday with a misdemeanor count of selling a firearm to a minor. His next court appearance is May 21.

Assistant District Attorney Dana Johnson said Niles obtained the gun from his home.

John N. Yang, 17, Luxemburg, was charged with misdemeanor possession of a firearm after police found a handgun under a mattress at his home.

Niles allegedly sold the handgun to Yang for $100, and left the gun under a bush for Yang at the high school.

Niles was being held on a $2,500 cash bond. He is on probation after a conviction for battery. The penalty for possession of a firearm by a minor is up to nine months incarceration and a fine of up to $10,000.

Yang was held on a $1,000 cash bail. He also faces up to nine months in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Yang's next court appearance is June 4.
