A St. Paul community college student who threatened to “grab a shotgun” and shoot two women in the face when he couldn’t find the right classroom on the first day of school was placed on probation.

Ramsey County District Judge Nicole Starr also sentenced Paul James Mouton to 360 days in jail, but she stayed the execution of the jail-time so long as the 40-year-old remains law abiding during his two-year probation, court records say.

The sentence, which was imposed on one count of gross-misdemeanor level threats of violence, was handed down Wednesday. He pleaded guilty to the count in November.
