City Files Charges In 2009 Shooting

Item: Alleged shooter faces misdemeanor charge: Charge stems from shots fired during downtown incident/David Cole, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: A 26-year-old Coeur d'Alene man has now been charged with a misdemeanor related to a shooting incident that occurred one year ago. Felony charges against Adam M. Johnson from the downtown Coeur d'Alene shooting were dismissed in January 2010. On Thursday, Johnson appeared at the Kootenai County Courthouse briefly on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon while under the influence, which is a misdemeanor. Johnson was the alleged shooter from a December 2009 confrontation that sent two Moses Lake, Wash., men to the hospital.

Question: What do you make of this charge -- a misdemeanor one -- being filed one year after the fact?
