LCM Prom Bus busted by Kemah police


Recommended Posts

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.

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 ?

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.

All misdemeanors have a 2 year statute of limitations..... so yes, they can be cited well after the fact.
