This property in the Shawano County town of Maple Grove, seen Oct. 18, 2022, is the location of a bonfire explosion that injured dozens of current and former Pulaski High School students four days earlier.
GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Juvenile criminal court charges have been filed against one suspect for an explosion at a bonfire near Pulaski.
Multiple people were injured when a partially filled drum of diesel gasoline was rolled on to a fire at a home in town of Maple Grove on Oct. 14, causing an explosion.
The Shawano County Sheriff’s Department said in November it was requesting charges against three people.
The Brown County teen is charged with two counts of first-degree reckless injury and one count of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
The teen made an appearance in Brown County court last month, and returns to court in two weeks. Prosecutors have requested the teen be moved to adult court.
Although the incident took place in Shawano County, juvenile charges are filed in the county where the suspect lives.
State law prevents media outlets from identifying suspects in juvenile court cases.
The Shawano County District Attorney office said Wednesday the case is still under review for possible charges against the other two suspects.
