Just the kind of news Bob Stoops wants to read: the Tulsa World reported today that Austin Box, along with a bunch of other 16 to 18-year-olds, was arrested for minor in possession of alcohol, according to the Enid paper.
Here's the text of the story from the Enid News & Eagle:
Police: Burglary call leads to Enid warehouse, underage drinking party
Staff reports
Police investigating a possible burglary Thursday night came across a warehouse full of underage drinkers.
Seventeen youths, ranging in ages between 16-18 years old, were cited as minors being in possession of alcohol. Five of the teens were arrested and booked into Enid Community Inter-vention Center. Par-ents of those young-er than age 18 were called and notified of the arrests.
A number of those cited and arrested are Enid High School athletes.
Twelve youths who are 18 were cited and issued a summons to appear in court.
Those cited for minor in possession of alcohol and ticketed were Dillon Smith, Audrey Stillwagen, Ashley Aary, Candace Burton, Brittany Boone, Austin Box, Mason Banner, Clancy Roberts, Heather Woods, David Lawrence, Matthew Athey and Ali Cocheres.
All the youths named by police are 18 and all are from Enid.
EHS Athletic Director Bill Mayberry said school administrators are charged with any discipline the students could face regarding school or athletics. Although coaches don’t discipline for problems that arise outside of the season of competition, coaches can discipline in-season athletes.
“Athletics are a privilege, not a right,” Mayberry said.
Enid Police Department Capt. Jim Nivison said police were called at about 10:40 p.m. Thursday to 622 S. Hoover, a building just south of Stevens Ford Lincoln Mercury, about a burglary in progress.
When police arrived, officers noticed signs of forced entry and entered the building.
Police officers saw five youths sitting by a table with beer on it, and they saw several youths flee through the back of the building, according to a report.
Police confiscated and discarded two 24- pack cases of Keystone beer, one of which was full and the other containing only five unopened cans, and three open bottles of liquor.
Coni Blankenship is the owner of the building and the mother of one of the youths, police said.
She told police she believed the youths were playing basketball.
Police said Banner allegedly broke the window of the building. Nivison said Banner and Blankenship allegedly worked out a settlement over the broken window.
It's curious that the name of the single most prominent current student at Enid High School is buried in the middle of the list of those charged. "A number of those cited and arrested are Enid High School athletes." Somewhat of an understatement.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that Box is the first or the last high school kid to do this. But with such a bright future ahead, and with the example of Bomar so fresh in the mind, one would think that he would be a lot smarter about his activities. It's not going to happen, but technically, he and the others could be charged with a felony. Can't imagine that is the way to start out on Stoops' good side.
