A Chippewa Falls High School student was arrested Tuesday after nude photos of females were found on his cell phone.

Joel D. Kolb, 17, was arrested for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and representation depicting nudity without the persons’ consent and knowledge Tuesday morning at the high school.

Administrators at the school had become aware that morning that Kolb allegedly had nude photos of a juvenile female on his phone. They asked School Resource Officer Dave BeBeau to assist in an investigation.

“When confronted, (Kolb) indicated that he did have pictures of numerous females in various states of undress, some that he had taken and some that had been sent to him,” said Lt. John Liddell with  the Chippewa Falls Police Department.

Kolb said the photos were all of women ages 17 to 23, but photos were found of at least one girl who was 16 years old.

The photos of the 16-year-old female were taken without the girl’s consent in a private setting, the report indicates.

During the investigation, Kolb became disorderly and threatened to burn the school down.

Although Kolb was arrested, he has not been formally charged. What charges, if any, are filed will be decided by the Chippewa County District Attorney’s Office.
