Man sentenced for bringing gun on NIC campus

COEUR d'ALENE - The man who carried a concealed weapon onto the North Idaho College campus without a permit has been sentenced to jail time.

Michael Dan was sentenced last week in Kootenai County District Court to serve nine days in jail for charges stemming from the February incident on the NIC campus.

Dan, 38, pleaded guilty on July 18 to two misdemeanor counts of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and possession of paraphernalia. After serving his time in jail, the Rathdrum man will serve two years of supervised parole.

On Feb. 10, a witness contacted college administrators and told them he thought Dan would come to class with a gun. Police were contacted and took Dan into custody without incident.

Officers also found paraphernalia commonly used for methamphetamine when they searched Dan.

According to the Idaho Repository, if Dan violates any of the conditions of his parole, an officer can request that he serve approximately a year in jail. He was also fined $700.
