thetragichippy Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 When I was in High School there was never a prom that alcohol was not involved in some way. Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 'They'? They = several posters that seem excited other school districts are in the news, some even posting about getting popcorn..... Quote
Ty Cobb Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Did any of the students receive, minor in possession tickets? Quote
Bigdog Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 One got a MIP and a disorderly conduct. Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 They = several posters that seem excited other school districts are in the news, some even posting about getting popcorn.....Well, you were invited to have some as well... ;) Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
Ty Cobb Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 One got a MIP and a disorderly conduct. How did the rest of them avoid the dreaded MIP? Quote
tvc184 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Yes, I agree... They should come down extremely hard on the chaperones and/or the teachers. In this case they arrested every adult on scene who could face months in jail. BMTSoulja1 and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 In this case they arrested every adult on scene who could face months in jail. So, if you did not provide the alcohol but were there....you can be charged because you didn't call police? Quote
Bigdog Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 How did the rest of them avoid the dreaded MIP? No idea. Quote
tvc184 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 So, if you did not provide the alcohol but were there....you can be charged because you didn't call police? The law says "makes available an alcoholic beverage to a minor with criminal negligence". Criminal negligence is the lowest culpable mental state basically can mean having your head up your but when you should have know better. You can debate what "make available" means or what evidence the officers have but looking at the way the law is written, it doesn't look like it takes much. I think that simply being there is not enough but allowing it to be loaded on your bus seems to be getting mighty close. thetragichippy 1 Quote
tvc184 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 How did the rest of them avoid the dreaded MIP? Likely officer discretion. They simply chose not to cite them all. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 @AgustinKBMT12: LC-M CISD parents, students not cooperating with Kemah authorities. Board president admits avoiding 12News. http://www.12newsnow.com/story/25336067/lc-m-cisd-parents-students-not-cooperating-with-kemah-authorities Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 No cooperation? Avoiding contact attempts by local media? Still allowing kids to go to prom? Something is fishy here. Quote
Bigdog Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 No cooperation? Avoiding contact attempts by local media? Still allowing kids to go to prom? Something is fishy here. The Board has no skin in the game other than potentially not allowing them to go to prom, since it didn't occur on school property. As far as the kids go, can they be cited after the fact ? Quote
tvc184 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 The fact that the bus got stopped and what was found was a decent news story. This latest attempt looks like a non-story and trying to fill some space on a slow news day. Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 No cooperation? Avoiding contact attempts by local media? Still allowing kids to go to prom? Something is fishy here. What is fishy? Lumberton had the same issue and nothing happened to those students. The news is reporting it.....This is not like cheating, a sex crime, stealing money, etc.....this is a bus load of seniors drinking. This has been going on for YEARS.....My senior year we drove to the beach, drank underage, got caught by the cops (who made us pour it out) and we drove home....We were being STUPID driving.....at least these seniors had the sense to get a bus.

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 I wonder why there's no cooperation with the authorities…… Quote
thetragichippy Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 I wonder why there's no cooperation with the authorities…… Would you cooperate? Quote
tvc184 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 I wonder why there's no cooperation with the authorities…… The officers likely wanted to file additional charges on who rented the bus. It could have been an 18 year old on the bus, one of the student's parents, etc. Who is going to give up his friend, parent or whoever? thetragichippy 1 Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 Would you cooperate?I wouldn't be stupid enough to get on a bus and travel just to drink. Quote

As far as the kids go, can they be cited after the fact ? All misdemeanors have a 2 year statute of limitations..... so yes, they can be cited well after the fact. Quote
