Males on the loose! This is getting as bad as Duke, where students are accused of "SUSPICION" of throwing water during a water fight. It's about time for the local police to give more time to these egregious anti-social violations and less time chasing peddlers of harmless hallucinogens and non-existent terrorists! |

http://www.greeleytribune.com/article/20100209/NEWS/100209688/1051&ParentProfile=1001 ‘Prank' lands UNC student in stinky mess Feb. 9, 2010 (snip) The suspect — others may have been involved, as well — apparently had left a burning bag of dog feces on the doorstep of the home owned by E. Wayne Pickens. Tymkowych said Pickens was awakened after 4 a.m. to the sound of his doorbell. He opened the door to find a bag that was burning on his front steps. He noticed the flames going out, so he decided to wait to see if the culprit returned. Donahue returned, apparently to re-light the bag, but this time, Pickens stopped him in his tracks. He called police around 4:30 a.m. “He goes back up on the porch and is confronted by Mr. Pickens, who detained him for us,” Tymkowych said. “There was a struggle, and Mr. Pickens got minor injuries.” Tymkowych said Donahue was attempting to re-light the fire; police recovered matches at the scene. Tymkowych said there were likely others involved in the incident, but Donahue was the only person caught. Police do not yet have a motive for the incident, Tymkowych said. He added that Pickens had recently called in a noise complaint on some of his student neighbors, but he wasn't sure if Donahue was one of those neighbors. (snip) Donahue was arrested on suspicion of first-degree arson, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, third-degree assault and possession of alcohol by a minor. He was taken to Weld County Jail early Sunday morning, and posted a $15,000 bond Monday morning. Formal charges are expected Feb. 16. The arson charge alone is a felony, punishable by four to 12 years in prison at most, while the remainder are misdemeanors. The alcohol charge is a petty offense. (snip) [Yep. Threaten a college kid with prison for a college prank. (Notwithstanding that it was a stupid and potentially dangerous prank; or that it was a sophomoric thing to do--that's why we call them sophomores.) How about just suspending him for a semester or making him do community service? But why do that when he can be given a felony arrest record and made to do hard time? (Gottlieb sure picked the right state to work in...)] |

Probation, fine, community service and 5-7 costly classes in various organizations, anger management first on the list. |
