MONROE - Two people facing charges related to a gun incident appeared Tuesday in Green County Circuit Court.

Loren J. Olson, 41, Brodhead, stood mute to second-degree reckless endangerment and possession of a firearm by a felon, both class G felonies; possession of a firearm while intoxicated and obstructing an officer, both class A misdemeanors; and disorderly conduct use of a dangerous weapon, a class B misdemeanor. He was convicted of bail jumping in 2006.

The court entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf and scheduled an April 1 district attorney conference.

Olson faces more than 40 years in prison and up to $71,000 in fines, if convicted. He remains free on a $4,500 signature bond and a $500 cash bond.

Deanna K. Collins, 37, Juda, pleaded not guilty to second-degree reckless endangerment and knowingly furnishing a felon with a firearm, both class G felonies, obstructing an officer, a class A misdemeanor; and disorderly conduct use of a dangerous weapon, a class B misdemeanor.

She faces more than 20 years in prison and up to $61,000 in fines, if convicted.

The court scheduled an April 29 district attorney conference for Collins. She remains free on a $5,000 signature bond.

Court records indicate Collins aimed a shotgun and threatened to kill a man and two other people who came to her home to repossess a vehicle Jan. 6 in Sylvester township. According to the criminal complaint, Olson walked out of the home and took the gun from Collins and then aimed it at the people.

Collins and Olson told deputies they had never threatened the people with the gun.
