Fired!
Erin Lashnits, who is the girl inside the Stanford tree was suspended after she was observed drinking inside the tree and had a breathalyzer score of 0.15. She said she was drunk but denies drinking during the game or having a flask.
The incident began as a misunderstanding when Lashnits began prancing in the middle of the court, as she is allowed to do at Stanford, instead of confining her routines to under the basket, as Cal requires. That’s when officers began observing her more closely.
Hmmmm, I don’t know. The UC Berkeley police? In a game between rivals Stanford and Cal? A blood alcohol level that wouldn’t even make it into the Top 15 BACs list? This sounds highly suspicious. Like the time they framed OJ. I hope they find the real tree with the flask who is still out there.
