Muskego Student Purchases Stun Gun Online, Uses It On Friends at MHS Homecoming

The 13-year-old Lake Denoon student told officers he purchased the gun on Amazon with a credit card for $15- $20.

Muskego Police have referred a 13-year-old to Waukesha County Juvenille Court after the student admitted to using a stun gun on a few classmates during the Muskego High School homecoming game on September 23.

Fellow students reported seeing the student under the bleachers with the gun that night, but authorities were unable to locate the student.  Officer Eric Nowicki, who is the liaison officer at Lake Denoon, did meet with the student on the following Monday at school and it was admitted that the gun was purchased using a credit card on Amazon.com for "about $15 or $20 dollars."

The student said the gun was kept in the family's garage, where it remained charged. The parents told police they were unaware that the gun had been purchased and that the child had possession of it.
