Here's a WJON FlashBriefing for April 7, 2017.
AK-47 LAWSUIT -- A federal judge has thrown-out a lawsuit filed by a man who was ticketed in St. Cloud for carrying a loaded AK-47. Tyler Gottwalt was cited for violating a city law that says you can't carry an uncased firearm in public. He sued, but a federal judge ruled laws outlawing people from carrying an AK-47 in public ARE constitutional.
SCHOOL TO CLOSE -- Popular St. Cloud charter school "Stride Academy" is closing in June. The school's authorizer did not renew their contract because Stride didn't hit academic achievement goals. The K-thru-8th grade charter school opened in 2005. It employs 114 regular staff members.
