La Follette High School student who was arrested Tuesday after officials said he had a handgun inside the school was banned from La Follette after appearing in court Thursday and faces a likely expulsion, a prosecutor said.
A criminal complaint filed Thursday charged Kyshawn M. Bankston, 18, with possession of a firearm on school grounds and carrying a concealed weapon. The gun possession charge is a felony, while the concealment charge is a misdemeanor.
Dane County Court Commissioner Scott McAndrew ordered Bankston jailed on $500 bail and agreed to ban him from La Follette. Assistant District Attorney Lillian Nelson said the school’s principal had requested the ban, adding that Bankston was likely to be expelled.
