CRANDON - Prosecutors in Forest County accuse a group of four people of throwing rocks off of a bridge and damaging a car. Victims Wednesday described the sound like a bomb going off.
19-year-old Thomas Hines is one of four people facing charges for throwing rocks off of a Forest County bridge just after 3 a.m. June 3, 2014. The other three facing charges include 18 year-old Mariya Tuckwab, 20 year-old Ryan Kitchmaster, and 21-year-old Dillon Votis.
All four face multiple felony charges for recklessly endangering safety and criminal damage to property.
Prosecutors say those rocks hurt a woman inside of the car.
Hines was in court Wednesday for his preliminary hearing.

ONEIDA COUNTY - Oneida County could get a county administrator in the future. The county is reaching out to other counties with an administrator for input.
The board wants to know how the change might help the county. They'll take input into consideration during an August meeting.
The idea stemmed from a former supervisor in March.
Committee members talked to counties, including Marathon, who already have county administrators.

RHINELANDER - Many campers come to the Northwoods to enjoy outdoor activities, but for some, it's all about giving back to the community.
A group of 30 students from four-years old through high school age take a week of their summer to attend Crescent Lake Bible Camp.
While they're at camp, they spend their days working on different projects around Rhinelander. Today, they're using their vacation time to improve the pavilions at Hodag Park.
"Today we're prepping and painting the pavilions," says 16-year-old Tylor Hoople. "They have thousands of staples in them. We're pulling all the staples and we're repainting them to make them look a lot better for the park."
