4 Penn State players arrested in "egg throwing" incident

Oh, those crazy college kids.

Four Penn State players were arrested Thursday night – mischief night – for an “egg throwing situation,” according to Onward State.

The four players, tight end Brent Wilkerson, safety Anthony Smith, center Wendy Laurent and defensive end Garrett Sickels, were all charged with criminal mischief for throwing eggs at Beaver Hall, an on-campus residence hall.

Discipline from head coach James Franklin could be on the way.

“We are aware of the egg throwing situation that occurred Thursday evening and will determine the appropriate measures for the four squad members involved,” Franklin said in statement.

The incident, which was reported to police by a student at Beaver Hall, took place between 10:36 and 11:18 p.m. Thursday night.

Sickels, a redshirt freshman, has played in all seven games this season, registering three tackles and a sack. In six games, Wilkerson, a sophomore, has two catches for 18 yards and a touchdown while Laurent, who has played in four games this year, saw his most significant playing time last weekend against Ohio State. With starting tackle Donovan Smith questionable to play Saturday against Maryland, Laurent, also a sophomore, was potentially set to see some more playing time. Now his status is up in the air.

Smith has not played this season.

The Nittany Lions and Terps square off at noon Saturday at Beaver Stadium.

And the leadership will hand them some young boys to “coach” late at night in the showers.

Coach throws his seed around, it’s only natural the players would toss the eggs.

So you’re accusing Wendy Laurent and the others of being pedophiles? 19-20 year old kids?

Why? You think that’s funny?

I think Beaver Hall is a boys dorm (not sure anymore though). Like the stadium, the road, and a lot of other things in the Valley it was named after James A. Beaver.

Louis’ day is coming. Emmert is under depo next week (Corman vs. ncaa) and it will be immediately made public. Look for emmert to throw rodney erickson and the 11-11 PSU b.o.t. under the bus.

Louis’ name will come up I’m sure.

We will see what comes out. It still doesn’t change your reaction to his accident.

“‘Mischief Night’? I’ve always thought that October 30th was ‘Devil’s Night’...”

In many places on the East Coast it’s called Mischief Night. The name Devil’s Night is more common in places like Detroit where they set abandoned buildings on fire.

There is a reason they say that the pun is the lowest form of humor. ..LOL, that was a good one, though.

I think freeh was either drunk or under some sort of medication. The fact that the first to come across him was an off duty FBI agent is odd, no?
