MADISON, Wis. — A La Follette high school student who was arrested last week for allegedly bringing a stolen gun to school is now facing several charges tied to the incident.
Marquan Webb, 18, was charged Monday with possession of a firearm on school grounds, possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent, two counts of felony bail jumping, two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping, and one count of resisting an officer.
Officers with the Madison Police Department arrested Webb on Thursday after school administrators got an anonymous tip that Webb was armed.
According to the criminal complaint filed against Webb, multiple officers responded to La Follette High School the day of the incident. When they arrived, officers said at least two school staff members were in contact with Webb and were trying to stop him from running from the school. Officers stepped in and helped bring Webb to the ground so he could be handcuffed. While Webb was on the ground, police reportedly found the stolen gun inside one of Webb’s jacket pockets.
Authorities said the gun Webb was armed with had been stolen from Cottage Grove in September. At the time of his arrest, police said they were unsure if Webb was the one who stole the gun.
