The last in a group of four youths charged with felony criminal mischief after allegedly shooting out windows of more than 100 vehicles across town has denied the allegations against him.

Matthew Winchester, 14, entered the denial Nov. 8 during Flathead District Court proceedings.

Winchester, along with 17-year-old Maclean Ryder, 17-year-old Francisco Manzo and 17-year-old alleged wheelman Shadeau Fritz are accused of using carbon-dioxide-powered BB guns during the Sept. 15 vandalism spree.

Fritz, Ryder and Manzo each entered denials to their charges on Oct. 18.

Court documents in the teens’ cases allege that each admitted to either police or family that they were involved with the crimes — with Winchester admitting to police he shot out no more than 10 windows, Manzo admitting shooting out six, and Fritz admitting to being behind the wheel, while Ryder was overheard admitting to his mother over the phone that he was involved.

The next hearing in each of the four cases is set for Feb. 12, 2014.
