The teenager who tossed a fuel barrel into a bonfire in Shawano County back in 2022 has been sentenced to prison time.
A judge yesterday sentenced 18-year-old Sam Armstrong to one year in prison and five years probation. He pleaded guilty to throwing a mostly-empty barrel that once had fuel in it into the fire during a party in Pulaski in October of 2022. Several other teenagers were hurt when the barrel exploded, including one who was seriously burned. Armstrong is being allowed to report to prison in May, after he graduates from high school.
