Indiana tight end Blake Powers thought he was just heading out for a good time and a couple of laughs when he filled up a water balloon and took to the streets of Bloomington, Ind. Little did he know that his prank would get him thrown in the slammer after his target turned out to be an Indiana University police officer.
Powers was riding in a car when he decided to toss the H2O grenade out of the window and into the open window of the off-duty officer who was heading home for the day in his own vehicle. Turns out the soaked rent-a-cop didn’t find the joke to be all that funny and Powers was booked on a preliminary misdemeanor charge of battery on Monday night. He has since been released.
Geez, since when did everyone get so uptight over a little splash? Lighten up; sure it sucks to get all wet, but it’s just a lil’ water. Trust us, things could have been a whole lot worse. Just ask the lead singer of TRIVIUM.
