WINONA, Minn. – A Winona man has been sent to prison for firing a gun at another man during a street bawl in the Maplewood neighborhood in March. Jayden Michael Jessie, 20, had pleaded guilty. The sentence: Two years behind bars and one year of supervised release if he maintains good behavior. In the plea, Jessie admitted to firing shots at another person. He said, however, that someone forced the pistol on him. There was crowd gathered around the brawl. The criminal complaint says that surveillance video showed Jessie in a “shooting stance” as the crowd was scattering. Meanwhile 100 miles away in Albert Lea, Jessie faces a separate charge of pointing a loaded firearm at another person.
