19-year-old woman sentenced for actions during Cedar Fest

Why would the court need to enter an order restricting illigal activity. It’s illegal and by definition is already restricted.

Does this mean that after 1 year she will be allowed to purchase, possess, and consume illegal drugs? This girl by be worth getting to know.

This means that, as part of her probation, if she purchases alcohol or illegal drugs, and is caught, she will suffer greater consequences (like more/longer jail time). Whereas, without probation they might have let her off the hook with a warning or probation.

This is totally crazy! MCL 769.1g is for people who’s actions lead to a riot! How is this right? I cannot believe that MSU students aren’t in an uproar while East Lansing overly uses its poor excuse for a justice system. What are you doing MSU students?! It’s time Michigan State takes back its town and East Lansing realizes that without MSU, East Lansing is nothing. This isn’t justice, and everyone knows it. Time to take action.

MOST IMPORTANTLY is she good looking? the article failed to mention that critical fact.

Insane: east lansing is not MSU students’ town, you stupid 10 year old jerk. when you get older you may understand. idiot!

Perhaps EL isn’t ‘owned’ by MSU and its students, but without the university EL would just be another mid-michigan town you drive through.

Hey Champ, it was me who posted that under insane, and I’m puzzled how I’m the idiot looking under your post. Consider the facts: 80% of EL is provided by MSU. Want to consider the facts about economic structure? Why don’t you leave this up to people who are intelligent enough to realize that EL is making a very big mistake, mark my words.

I am very glad that the courts are taking a strong stance on this. regardless of who came first the city or the university, it is inappropriate behavior that needs to be dealt with harshly. i just hope that other students over time realize that there is a consequence to actions.

Marc…really? Let’s start issuing the death penalty for MIPs then. For sure it will show that there are SERIOUS consequences for offenses. But back on Earth…what’s the deal? So she flashed her funbags…who cares? Do you really think that’s what led to the riot? Nope. I’ll put my bet on the ELPD showing up in riot gear. Don’t believe me? I DARE you to read the 2003 commission about Cedar Fest. Then we can talk about who’s to blame. Facts are EL does not prevent this. Primarily because they profit from it happening. Roughly about $80,000.

Really – You are telling me that police in riot gear is what causes people to turn into idiots? Is that some kind of joke? So if we see armed soldiers somewhere in public then it’s no wonder we engage in combat with them? The presence of police makes people act like dumbasses… the only dumbass here is you.

Steve is right. the simple presence of the police is not what causes people to turn into idiots. if that were true there would be riots everywhere. the police in 2003 were wrong. i completely agree. but prior actions by the police do not justify lewd and indecent exposure.

It is now 2008. The students that were involved in the riots of 2003 should be graduated by now (assuming they can finish somewhat on time). Stop using that excuse.

Former Football player pleads guilty to larceny of another MSU student. He gets 24 months probation, $860 in fines and 90 days in jail that can go away if he follows the rules of his probation.
Girl commets the misdemeanor offenses of disordely conduct and indecent exposure. She gets 15 days in jail, 1 year probation, $1,994.40 fine and a 1 year restiction from all Mi institutions of higher learning.

This is exactly what Sports Mind Control advocates. Now you know why the public hammered him so mercilessly.

mug shots…

Football player was sentence in Ingham County Circuit Court by Judge Paula J.M. Manderfield. The lawyer had case moved out of East Lansing Court 54B.
Student’s cannot get a fair trial or sentencing in East Lansing 54B Court. They want to fry every student.
Motion for change of venue if you are about to go to trial in East Lansing!!!!!!!
They welcome students back from summer break. The student money machines have arrived!!!
To all students and families, retain a lawyer if your going to MSU.
East Lansing has more rules and regulations all to tap students for money. Read East Lansing’s home page. Student’s Beware!!!
Just trying to help students. Have a great year at M.S.U..

I took a look at the MSU Police Cedar Riot link. They actually took the time to render a logo that says, “Cedar Fest, not a party anymore…” What a bunch of tools.

I’m curious, did Michelle Sprenkel flash a few “rioters” to be nabbed for that indecent exposure charge? Check that, I’m going to friend her on Facebook.com

The Champ:
Did you look at the mug shots? Haha thoughtfully provided the link this morning.

I’m surprised she only got probation. A better sentence would be a paper-bag over the head for twelve years.

I believe the MSU police are guilty of profiling—they’re all UGLY!!
Is being ugly a pre-req for being stupid?

So an education is something they can bar you from having the “privilege” of access to?
Pitiful excuse for a penalty for college kids being college kids. I’ve seen far worse behavior from people who have gone on to become incredibly productive elements in our society when I was in school in the 80’s. Somehow the folk’s in charge of the rules have lost all sense of perspective.

S.Evans, Welcome to East Lansing now. This town hates student’s. Love there parents money.
Look up 769.1g law. It allows all college towns in the state to throw kids out of school for being college kids.
By the way East Lansing is also trying to buy out Cedar Village and turn it into upscale condos and shops. They want the students gone from this area!
I wish Michigan State would build affordable apartments and a small town on campus. That way all the money would stay at Michigan State. GO GREEN!!!!
East Lansing can get there wish, no students, no money.
Good Bye East Lansing.

I moved to NC after I graduated and seem to have not paid attention to how East Lansing was invaded by people looking for some kind of illusory suburban bliss. I was there when people like Lash Larrow provided a constant reminder to people inclined to try and constrain the joy of freedom of college life. Does anyone stand up for the fun of being in college these days up there? What type of delusions does the city of East Lansing have that they would even exist if MSU students, for decades, hadn’t created their town. As for the purported “embarrasssment” felt by alumni over what occurred related to this event – my reaction….I emailed three people the link to the coverage and we all had a laugh.

East Lansing — get over yourselves.

East Lansing sucks. None of these are jailable offenses, most of the people they arrested that night didn’t even do anything wrong. Oh man I hope some kid gets found not guilty and sues the crap out of them for this insanity

S.Evans, NickT, I agree with you TOTALLY. This is taken out of proportion so badly is barely comprehendible. Most of these people did what, throw a can? Flash their boobs? And THAT’S worth the fines, jail time, and being suspended from school? I’m an MSU alum and if there’s anything I’m ashamed of it’s of East Lansing acting like a bunch of pricks. This has been happening for years and from what I hear, this years wasn’t that big of a deal. C’mon spartans! Help out your family! None of us think this is right…do something about it!
