No Contest Plea to Wal-Mart Flare Gun Attack
An Iron Mountain man is in jail awaiting sentencing after pleading no contest to firing a flare gun at Wal–Mart.
28–year–old Andrew Olson did that back on September 19th.
At around 4:30 in the morning, he pointed a flare gun at several employees, fled the building, and then shot a flare at a store manager who followed him outside.
Olson missed and no one was hurt.
Police caught him after a short foot chase.
Olson pleaded no contest to felonious assault and discharging a weapon in or at a building.
He’ll be sentenced on February 14th.
