? Assistant District Attorney James Fassbender moved to dismissed two felony counts of providing a weapon to a minor that had been filed against Sean C. Crews, 27, Weyauwega.

On June 6, Crews was accused of robbing a New London man at gunpoint while they were sitting in a car in Royalton.

On June 23, Assistant District Attorney Vicki Clussman moved to dismiss the charges against Crews after the alleged victim failed to appear at the preliminary hearing because he had moved to another state.

On June 24, prosecutors charged Crews with two counts of providing a weapon to a minor. When police took Crews into custody after he was accused of armed robbery, they found photos on Crews’ cellphone of a 5-year-old boy holding a shotgun and a revolver.

Crews’ attorney, Troy Nielsen, argued for the suppression of the evidence because there was no record of an application for a search warrant, and the charges were dismissed.
