Two twenty-something Ohioans are in a heap of trouble for their "prank" of going to a high school and posing as "students":
Two men who tried to pass as students at an Ohio high school were jailed on charges including disorderly conduct, trespassing and inducing panic. Lancaster High School was evacuated for about an hour as a result of the prank Thursday morning by Nathan Shahan, 20, and Anthony Bobo, 21.
Evacuated. Nice. Shahan and Bobo obviously didn't consider that their presence might be taken seriously, surprising given that there's no good reason for two men their age to be prowling around a high school, posing as students. And no, the movie, "Never Been Kissed" doesn't count.
A teacher stopped Shahan as he tried to enter the school, and the two got into a scuffle, said Fairfield County Sheriff Dave Phalen said. Sheriff's deputies found Bobo inside the school at 7:45 a.m. Bobo was charged with a felony count of inducing panic for being inside the school. He also was charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia and violating probation.
Sheesh. Bobo really IS a bobo. Not only is he trying to get into a high school, but he's dumb enough to scuffle with a police officer while he's got weed and a pipe (or something worse) in his pockets. Something tells me Bobo didn't crack the books too hard at his own high school, assuming he made it that far.
Shahan was charged with a felony count of parole violation and misdemeanor counts of assault and underage alcohol consumption. Bond was set at $50,000 each, and both remained in jail Friday.
Shahan is a bigger bobo, considering he was on parole and presumably had alcohol in his system, yet was under 21. Sheesh. I think the appropriate movie reference here would be, "Dumb and Dumber."
