Penn State Mascot Arrested For Drinking

Penn State University's Nittany Lion mascot will be missing the first four games of the upcoming football season. The "Centre Daily Times" is reporting that Clint Gregory was arrested last month after he was found passed out in the bed of a pickup truck. Authorities located Gyory early in the morning of August 1st, the day after his 20th birthday. Gyory was found to have blood-alcohol-content of point-one-eight-seven, and was subsequently charged with public drunkenness and criminal mischief. If convicted, he could pay up to one-thousand dollars in fines. Penn State cheerleading coach Curtis White says they're "disappointed in the news," adding, quote, "He understands that his poor judgment does not come without impact on the athletic department and the university, and he is most regretful of that."
