I couldn’t resist sharing a local story with you guys. This just makes me laugh!
Two high school students are facing charges after they ran across the football field during a game Friday night at Flower Mound High School.
The two were dressed in costumes — one was a banana and the other a gorilla.
If YouTube is any indication, it’s a common prank at schools and colleges and the video often ends up on the Internet.
In this case, the kids in the costumes ended up in jail.
Sean Kight, 18, and Curtis Patton, 17, both Flower Mound High School students, are charged with trespassing on school grounds, a misdemeanor.
The video shows the two running across the field while both teams are on the field. Police chase them and take the pair into custody after the teens jump a fence.
Lt. Wess Griffin, Flower Mound police spokesman, said officers didn’t want to arrest the students and that they would rather have had the school reprimand the teens. However, he said, the school district was adamant that both teens be arrested.
“We tried to dissuade them,” said Lt. Griffin. “We were hoping to resolve it using district sanctions.”
Both teens spent Friday night in jail and were released at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Police said that’s how long it takes for the arraignment process.
