Teen's skunk prank goes bad led him to pull out a gun

Jack Lee Johnson, 19, was sentenced to three years probation for what started out as a stinky smelly pranks stunt. Though he said he was sincerely remorseful for his actions, but that wasn't enough to save him from punishment. His action involving threatening everyone with a shotgun went straight to a dumb car prank ideas gone wrong.

He thought that it would be funny to place a dead skunk on his 20-year-old sister's car while parked at a gas station. When her sister found out, the sister and one of her two friends threw the skunk back at his car. This got him extremely upset and whip out a 12.-gauge shotgun and pointed it at his sister and her two teenage friends.

The officers that responded took the matter seriously from the start. Everyone on the parking lot were ordered to face down on the ground until it could be determined whether anyone was carrying a firearm. Johnson was located, and the weapon was in his vehicle.

The defendant pleaded guilty to two counts of terrorist threats. As part of the plea agreement, the other charges were dismissed. Also conditions of probation required Johnson to complete an anger-management therapy, remain employed full time or in school and to have no contact with firearms during the three years of probation and also was fined for $385.
