Students Face Jail Over Goat Prank

EUSTIS, Fla. -- Six teen pranksters could face jail time for planting pygmy goats inside a Central Florida high school.

Police said the teenagers sneaked in two goats Monday night into a classroom at Eustis High School, north of Orlando.

Eustis Police Chief Fred Cobb said the teens could be charged with criminal trespassing and a lesser charge for disrupting a school function.

The teens left the goats amid a slick of vegetable oil, carrots and cabbage. The prank forced school officials to postpone a final exam.

how 'bout they have to clean up the mess after everyone has had a chance to enjoy the goats??? Sounds like a fine HS prank to me. Some people really need to lighten up. sheesh.

7. It's a very serious charge

IIRC, criminal trespassing is a felony. Not sure if it's that way in all states or not.

11. I think HS pranks almost have to include at least a little

trespass of some kind. Clean up the mess and I would even vote for some community service but jail time is ridiculous to consider. :hi:

If At All Possible, Involve a Cow.

5. I'm not sure they should be charged but that aside.

Since when would criminal trespassing and a lesser charge for disrupting a school function involve jail time?
