Teen Gets Arson Charge For Attempting To Light Dog Crap

February 10, 2010 at 11:35 am by  

An teenager picked the wrong door step to try and light a flaming bag of dog shit on early Sunday morning. The attempt garnered him attempted first-degree arson, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and possession of alcohol by a minor charges. PLUS he gets to live with the embarrassment of having been tackled by the homeowner and held in custody until police arrived. Everything started when Wayne Pickens, 57, called police on his neighbors for partying too loud. The party was being held by a group of University of Northern Colorado students. Later that morning, Pickens went outside to find his Sunday Denver Post on fire on his front porch. After putting out the fire, he did not think that the pranksters would be absolute, complete morons and come back again – but he hid in his bushes anyway. Lucky for us, Pickens was wrong, and 18-year-old Andrew Charles Donahue turned out to be an absolute, complete moron.

Teen Gets Arson Charge For Attempting To Light Dog CrapFrom his vantage point, Pickens was able to see a group of young men next door using a flashlight to pick up dog shit and put it in a bag. Pickens waited until Donahue came into his yard carrying the bag of shit, along with a pack of matches, and then tackled the dumbass. The entire time, Pickens’s wife was snapping pictures. Even though Pickens, a longtime Greeley resident and small businessman, was being threatened by a couple of Donahue’s friends, he held Donahue there until the police arrived and arrested him. “I just want to be able to sleep through the night,” Pickens said of his actions. “It may empower other people” who hear what I did, he added.

I do find it funny that Donohue got busted for trying to the lame bag-of-shit-on-fire gag, I am surprised at the hefty charges he got for the stunt. Sorry, the attempted stunt. “It’s a foolish prank and puts citizens at risk,” said Robocop…er, I mean Sgt. Joe Tymkowych, spokesman for the Greeley Police Department.

Wayne Pickens totally reminds me of something my dad would do.

      I'm sure that embarrassment will soon be tempered with pride at being featured on the DD front page. ;-P

      I'm surprised at the severity of the charges too, I mean, the Sgt even says himself that it's a foolish PRANK.

      I actually kinda feel sorry for the kid. Like you said, those are some harsh charges for such a stupid prank. No he shouldn’t have done it, and yes, he was stupid for going back a second time, but he’s a kid, and it’s a prank.

    • EveryVillainIsLemons

      While the charges do seem a little steep, maybe those students will think twice about retaliating the next time they're throwing a loud party and the police are called. If they don't want to have to consider other people in the neighborhood while having a party, they should get a frathouse out in BFE.

      Anyway, is he also being charged for setting the newspaper on fire?

      He LOOKS like an absolute, complete moron. And your dad sounds cool!

      I suspect the attempted arson sharge would be for the newspaper, since he never got near lighting the poo, – but I also suspect they would have let it slide if he hadn't gone back with the intent to have another go.

      (Where is BFE? – Bum Fuck E????? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?)

      What a shitty thing to do.

      Thanks!

      arson should be reserved for, well arson.
      Mischievous mischief would have been appropriate. Hell I have done the flaming dog crap trick.
      So what if it was last week, ;)
      never got caught but suspect it would be a handslap at least.

      Hahahahaaaaa *hiccup* hahahahaahahaa!!

      The only thing that ever stopped me from pulling that particular prank was the whole picking up dog shit thing. Just thinking about poop-scoopin' makes me gaggy. That, and well, I probably would'a set myself on fire – but that's a whole 'nother story.

    • Christopher

      I'm glad the charges were that harsh. Buddy of mine had that prank pulled against him a number of years ago. The flaming cram set his wooden porch on fire and that in turn set the who house up. And considering the bag was fairly close to the door, if it hadn't lit the porch, it could have lit the door and burned the house down anyway.
      Everyone got out safe that night. But its a whole lifetime of memories and labor lost.

    • EveryVillainIsLemons

      Yep. BFE = Bum Fucking Egypt, which is slang for something being a long way from civilization. If one lives in a city, one needs to respect that city's laws regarding noise and respect one's neighbors.

    • Scavengerofhumansorrow

      He is a really shitty prankster. You dont go back til at least 2 weeks after, cuz then they are just starting to forget. Oh, its been 2 weeks… Anybody know where Morbid lives?

    • Hugh Jazz

      Bravo, that sucks he got caught. Lighting a bag o' shit is a right of passage. Shame on those stupid kids for letting an elderly man detain them. lol……….
