Shaun White Cops Plea Deal Over Disorderly Behavior
By Steve Casimiro on November 9th, 2012
A Nashville judge signed off Wednesday on a deal between two-time Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Shaun White and prosecutors to settle public intoxication and vandalism charges. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss charges if White completed alcohol treatment, performed 24 hours of community service, and paid restitution. White’s vandalism charge was dismissed because he paid the Nashville hotel where police say he drunkenly destroyed a telephone. According to police and witness accounts, White pulled a fire alarm at about two in the morning on September 16, forcing all guests to evacuate. He then tried to flee but ended up in the hospital after he hit his head while trying to fight another guest who had called the cops on him. Via Boston Herald.
