Details from the arrest of the bottle thrower-

good for Dad, better late than never. (and maybe he didn't see it)

TheRowdy

Nov 13, 9:44am

Yep. Dad is helping him face consequences for his actions, that's the right thing to do.

durandal

Nov 13, 9:57am

The dad probably realized someone else would eventually ID them, so better to

So instead we'll assume the absolute worst possible motive?

Would your kid say F Utah and throw a water bottle at people all while

Cobra Venom

I don't know. BYU has not lost to Utah since they were babies, so hard to say.

Utah fan so it isn't an assumption.

Well - why does the son feel comfortable yelling that and throwing the bottle in

Extreme ute fandom requires a little mental illness to be in there somewhere IMO.

You may be right.

BlueFever

Nov 13, 2:42pm

What are you even talking about? This is about the father's actions, not the son's.

durandal

If Dad had turned him in right away I would assume good intentions but since he

Who's to say his dad knew where the bottle landed

He turned him in the next day. It was 1am what did you expect?

Dude - c’mon. We have no idea so let’s not say probably.

Good for his dad turning him in. Nice life lesson to that kid

Assumption: Dad is a Ute fan too. Conclusion: Class exists somewhere among them

Wow. Dad called in to say his son was the suspect.

DirtyWater

Nov 13, 9:50am

I'm guessing dad only turned him in when he knew he was going to get caught.

kimdaddy35

Nov 13, 9:56am

Could have also wanted to contact his attorney first as well?

RootieBoy

What’s the plan there? Hope the attorney

NanoFab Coug

You should always have a defense attorney when facing charges.

Are you an attorney?

No. Forensic Psychologist (but I have a JD along with a PhD- joint grad program)

sidsie716

Always consult with an attorney if you know you are about to be arrested, always

RenoCoug

Nov 13, 11:58am

The fact Dad had to do it means the son refused after Dad tried to get him to do

bluesloth

Nov 13, 10:06am

I think it's entirely possible dad (or kid) didn't know it hit anyone until it

fattycoug

Nov 13, 10:55am

Possible, but seems unlikely. If I threw something I would watch to see where it went.

kimdaddy35

Nov 13, 12:39pm

If that was the case, how would he ever know it was his bottle that hit her?

Intent irrelevant. He did a good thing.

If 18 year old refused to, you cannot exactly physically force them to.

sidsie716

I think it was wise for the dad to call. You need a chance to get your lawyer ready. Dad calls police on Sunday. Says

The 18 year old son may not have money.

They would sue the owner of the suite tickets then.
