Last Of Bradley Soccer Fire Students Freed

By WEEK Producer

The last of four students who accidentally killed their friend in a prank, was released from jail Friday.

Three are former Bradley soccer players were convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Bradley soccer player Danny Dahlquist.
They were sentenced to six months behind bars.
Ryan Johnson was the last to be released. Nick Mentgen, David Crady, and former ICC student Daniel Cox were released earlier this week.

"We trust that it won't be a difficult and a life staining burden on the defendants we want them to face their consequences, they have, we want them to have served their time they did and we want them to move on as constructive and bright members of the community," said Peoria County State's Attorney Kevin Lyons.

Two of the men fired roman candles into a bedroom where Dahlquist was sleeping, as a prank last summer.
The room had caught on fire causing Dahlquist to die.
The group had been drinking the night of the incident.
Those convicted remain on probation and are not allowed to drink for an extended time.
