Teens cited for nude basketball game
A late night pick-up game will not catapult two Wyoming teens to an NBA court anytime soon. Instead they're heading to a court of law.
Powell, Wyo., police arrested two 14-year-old boys on Aug. 7 after they were caught playing basketball in the nude.
Police Sergeant Alen Kent said the teens, whose names have not been released, dragged a portable basketball hoop to the front yard of one of their homes for their game.
A neighbor called police to report that the game was in the buff. Perhaps they couldn't handle the heat.
Police arrested the boys at 10:20 pm. There was no indication that alcohol or drugs were involved, and the boys gave no explanation for their behavior, Kent said.
They were cited for indecent exposure and released at the scene into their parents' custody.
According to Deputy City Attorney Scott Kath, likely penalties include supervised probation, a monetary fine and a tongue lashing.
"They probably got a good talking to from their parents already," Kath said.
No court date has been scheduled.
