Back in September I reported on an incident that occurred in a Minneapolis gay bar (the Saloon). A man entered the bar and began harassing the patrons inside with homophobic slurs and threats. The man eventually shot an out of town gay couple with a BB gun before he was subdued and arrested. He has now been sentenced to six months in Hennepin County adult detention center.
From Towleroad:
A Minnesota man, Wayne Steven Odegard, who harassed patrons and shot a gay couple with a CO2 powered BB gun outside of a Minneapolis gay club in September was sentenced on Thursday to spend six months in Hennepin County adult detention center reports LGBTQ Nation. The court also ordered Odegard to undergo chemical dependency and psychological evaluations and attend anger management classes. Due to the factor that his crime was based on the sexual orientation of his victims, the court raised his probation period from three years to five years.
