A Marathon County judge has sentenced a former alternative high school student to two-and-a-half years in jail for bringing a loaded gun to school.  Nineteen-year-old Keanan Brown was found with a stolen gun in his jacket on the campus of North Central Technical College in February 2016.  Police arrested him after receiving an anonymous tip.  Brown was also involved in an armed robbery eight months after the incident at the school.  He was found guilty of four felony and two misdemeanor charges.  The judge ruled that he will get credit for the more than 400 days he has already spent behind bars while the charges were pending.

The ethics board of the Green Bay City Council has decided to take no action against former Alderman Guy Zima.  He no longer holds office after being defeated in last month’s election.  Zima told members of the ethics board he was “smeared” by the allegations.  Alderwoman Barbara Dorff had filed the complaint alleging Zima had violated the council’s code of conduct.  Zima was dismayed the hearing wasn’t held until after the election.  He says he didn’t have a chance to prove his side of the argument — and he lost both his council seat and his place on the Brown County Board of Supervisors.
