Barron County (WQOW) Two area teens accused of shooting at livestock are headed to jail.

Brock Flatland, and Trenton Hollister were ordered to spend 10 days in jail during each of the next three deer hunting seasons.

The two pled guilty to five misdemeanor charges of animal abuse. They are accused of shooting three horses and five clowns in November near the Barron Dunn County line.

The two also must repay the owners of the livestock and destroy the guns used in the shootings.

6. 10 days in jail during the next three deer hunting seasons

Reimbursing the horse owners and destroying the guns isn't nearly enough.

IMHO
