GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Prosecutors dropped two misdemeanor charges which had been filed against a UW-Green Bay student in connection with a disturbance Feb. 7.
Joel Robinson-Sellers, 18, had been facing counts of carrying a concealed weapon and marijuana possession. But the state dismissed the charges Tuesday, court records show.
Online court records do not state a reason for the change.
UWGB Police responded to James Temp Hall shortly after 8 p.m. that day, as a man was pounding on doors repeatedly. Police say he appeared under the influence and they were sent to conduct a welfare check. Officers found Robinson-Sellers on the first floor and found prescription medications, suspected marijuana and suspected psilocybin mushrooms in his backpack.
While officers searched the backpack, they said a gun — commonly known as a “ghost gun” — fell from Robinson-Sellers. Officers also found a magazine, which they say was capable of holding 29 rounds.
UWGB Police seized the drugs, gun and cash from Robinson-Sellers; the student said the money was related to drug deals, according to the criminal complaint.
Robinson-Sellers explained his behavior by saying he drank an entire bottle of “Henny.”
