Waterloo woman arrested for gun possession and child endangerment; a teenager accused of possessing nunchucks

A Waterloo woman and a teenager under the age of 13 are facing several charges after the child was found in possession of nunchucks.

Joanna L. Stagner, 34, was arrested for child endangerment and weapons possession after allegedly allowing a minor in her care to possess nunchucks, which were then given to another minor and given to an adult.

Stagner faces additional charges of child endangerment for failing to properly supervise a minor, leading to repeated delinquent behavior. She was issued a court appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear in Waterloo City Court on Aug. 7.

Meanwhile, the teenager, whose name has not been released due to his age, was found with nunchucks in a public space. The minor gave the nunchucks to another teenager, who then gave them to his parent.

The juvenile suspect was issued a minor appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear at the Seneca County Probation Department on July 3.
