College students will do stupid things. The latest piece of evidence of this comes to us from the land of the reigning national champion LSU Tigers.
LSU student Clayton Fleetwood, of New Jersey, has been accused by university police of breaking his way into Tiger Stadium on two separate occasions (Jan. 21 and Feb. 8, according to the Associated Press), and racking up an estimated $8,000 worth of damage to the field. University police were able to match footage on security cameras around the football stadium with Fleetwood’s student ID card to pin the vandalism on Fleetwood.
Fleetwood was charged with simple burglary, criminal trespassing, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. A second person suspected of joining Fleetwood has not been charged with any crimes at this time.
LSU’s Tiger Stadium is undergoing some offseason construction, which is typical for a number of football stadiums this time of year. Don’t expect the ATV joyride or the construction to impact the LSU spring game. The reigning national champions will play the spring game on April 18 in Tiger Stadium.
