Have you ever had the dream where you're at school....naked? Three 10-year-old boys in Bryan County did go to a school naked and it was all caught on tape. KTEN's Chelsea Hover got the scoop on the Durant Middle School break-in....that has a strange twist, and severe penalties.
Three elementary school students managed to wiggle under a fence and find an unlocked door at Durant Middle School the day after school got out for Christmas break.
If you watch the video link, you'll see some of the surveillance tape recorded by the school's cameras.
Police say the boys originally went to the campus to play football on the field, but instead got into some mischief.
Once inside, they stayed...for five hours! At first they try to shield their faces from the cameras but eventually they let loose.
The video shows them running down the halls, entering classrooms, trying on football pads and helmets, getting in lockers, and even eating a snack in the cafeteria!
At one point, two of the boys stripped down and ran down the hallways naked, even though they seemed to be aware of the cameras.
"They did observe the cameras," said Lt. Johnny Rutherford, Durant Police. "They did actually look at the cameras and try to conceal themselves for a little while but upon interviewing the boys, they said they felt since nobody showed up within ten or fifteen minutes of them being at the school, they didn't think they [the cameras] were recording, they didn't think they were on."
Police identified the juvenile boys and obtained some property they took from the school like sneakers, clothing, three hand-held radios, football helmet, and some school supplies.
The boys hit the wood gym floor with baseball bats, causing $4,000 worth of damage. It was just re-finished this past year. The total damage will not be known until all teachers return after the break.
Durant police will hand the case over to the juvenile services unit. Then, the boys will have to go before a district judge, who will determine an appropriate punishment.
