Teen denied probation after bringing gun to school

Champaign, Ill. (WCCU) — A 16-year-old has been denied probation after being accused of bringing a gun to Centennial High School last month.

He appeared in court Wednesday afternoon, where the public defender asked if could he be released for having good behavior in the detention center and no any prior incidents with police.

The judge denied the request, because he is a minor accused of having a gun in his book bag on school grounds.

He was given an undetermined sentence in the Champaign County Juvenile Detention Center for no more than 5 years.
