VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Three Clark County, Wash., teens have been sentenced in the shooting of dozens of cats and other animals.
Two defendants, 17-year-old Jaren Koistinen and 16-year-old Mitchell Kangas, were sentenced Tuesday to more than a year in a state juvenile institution. A third person, 17-year-old Riley Munger, will spend 30 days in juvenile detention. All are from the Battle Ground area.
The Columbian reports (http://bit.ly/q049pN) that each must also perform 100 hours of community service.
A prosecutor sought a sentence of more than two years for Koistinen and Kangas but Superior Court Judge Rich Melnick went with a lower penalty, saying, “I think they’re youth.”
