Around 3:15am on November 22nd, the Nittany Lion was pulled over by campus police in an overloaded vehicle, with passengers piled onto each other blocking the Lion’s view.
The officer determined the Lion was drinking, administered field sobriety tests and took him to the hospital for blood tests. The field sobriety tests consisted of attacking a life-size doll of Roy Horn, 24 push-ups for the amount of points Penn State gave up to Iowa, and the reading of the famous book, Why I Shouldn’t Drive With 32 People In My Car After A Night Of Drinking.
After failing all tests, the Lion was arrested on a DUI charge.
PHOTO CAPTION: NYC Mayor Bloomberg stated that the Nittany Lion should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
The Lion’s name is actually James Sheep who is a senior at Penn State. He wasn’t wearing his Nittany Lion uniform at the time of the arrest.
In like a lion, out like a lamb? Well, it’s possible James Sheep could be out of the Rose Bowl.
***Because of massive amounts of emails I received on ‘who is Roy Horn?’ I’ll give you a hint. Think Siegfried***
“Who likes to rock the party?”
“I like to rock the party” says the Nittany Lion!!!
Jeez Perry, did you really have to call this kid out for the DUI? I understand your fascination with pro and high level college athletes getting in trouble but you just put this kid one google search away from everyone knowing he got in trouble. He’s a regular kid, not a star, and doesn’t deserve to be in the limelight. Bad form.
I just realized that someone else must have made this a story for you to find out about it so I guess that absolves some of the guilt you should feel.
Yeah, it’s all over Yahoo. Got the link sent to me from a PSU grad. Mascots are role models, too. They have to relize they are in the limelight and are fair game to OTR. Hey, if the Lion scored the game-winning TD against Iowa, I would have front-paged that info.
Just be careful you don’t get a DUI or our readers will know within 24 hours.
