Crackdown on Streaking at St. Francis High

A school district in the north metro is now having to crackdown on streaking after a prank at St. Francis High School.

For some teenagers, streaking across the field during a football game is a high school tradition.

Five students at St. Francis High School have been disciplined for streaking at three games since school started. This prompted school administrators to toughen penalties for streaking. The punishments could include suspension, banishment from school activities, and transferal to a different school or expulsion.

Fridley police arrested two St. Francis students after they went streaking on the football field at an away game last month.

One of the teens was charged with disorderly conduct.

The other could be charged with fifth degree criminal sexual conduct for exposing himself to a minor under the age of 16. If that teen is convicted, he will have to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
