Banana Chases Gorilla (Take 2)

FLOWER MOUND, Texas -- 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.

Comment by myFOXdfw Admin on September 23, 2008 at 9:19pm: Actually, according to the police public information officer, the department suggested the school district handle the incident without arrest. The school district insisted on pressing charges.

Comment by James B. Young Ph.D. on September 23, 2008 at 9:08pm: These boys were just having fun, nothing malicious here. Just something they could put in their annual. It appears that the arrests were made by a bunch of over zealous Police officers, who jumped the gun. Thank goodness that the decision to file charges was overturned by a very smart supervisor. The Police need to spend their time, while at the games, maybe looking for thieves, burglers and such and not harassing these two boys, just having fun, and giving people a reason to SMILE. Thanks for letting me express my opinion. Much Regards James B. Young

Comment by FMHS Parent on September 23, 2008 at 9:05pm: I think the school is taking this too far and that the students should just be reprimanded and not arrested, something like this will go on their permanent record and affect both of their lives forever. Just because this HS is better than most doesn't give the administration the right to cast aside the undesirables and make examples of those that don't fit their standards.
