‘Zona Streaker Facing 1.5 Years in Jail

19 Comments

The streaker who dressed up as an official and set off chaos at Thursday’s night UCLA-Arizona game hopefully enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame, because he now faces one-and-a-half years in jail.

According to the Tucson Citizen, Jace Lankow – an undergraduate at Arizona who was born in October 0f 1988 – has been charged with criminal impersonation, a class 6 felony. That means he faces up to 18 months in the Big House.

While you had to expect the authorities in Tucson to throw the book at Lankow to try and discourage this kind of behavior from happening again, charging someone with criminal impersonation seems like it should be reserved for someone dressing up as a police officer, not a college football referee.

You can expect the “Free Jace” movement to start soon.

    1.5 years for that, he would have received less time for getting caught with 10 lbs. of hash.

  • Steven

    I hope he serves every minute

    • American

      There is a place for those who think this young man should receive harsh punishment… It was the former USSR. Get over your communist selves. You obviously are a bunch of nutters!!

  • Ru

    Well it’s up to 1.5 years. I think it’s highly unlikely that he will get the max punishment but give at LEAST a month. I don’t want to hear him getting away with just community service

    • American

      Ru… nuts. Let the young man get on with life… Drug couriers transporting 500lbs of marijuana never see day in jail. You obviously need to open your eyes to AMERICA!

  • Jamesb

    ONE AND A HALF YEARS? For that? WHAT?

    Ridiculous…hardened criminals serve LESS for way MORE serious “offenses.”

    Common sense – get some.

  • American Citizen

    So let me get this straight. My state governor can give our tax money to criminals to go to college and still get a governor’s salary with no jail time. But they want to give this COLLEGE KID jail time for an innocent prank. T-MINUS 10 and counting until America is dismantled and sold to foreign investors. And we all become their slaves like on Spartacus. Our legal system is a joke. A bad joke that I hope karma makes pay for every corrupt act they have done.

  • Ziggory

    Seriously? It is a funny prank that they obviously need to discourage, but “criminal impersonation?” really?

    Give him a week in jail and some community service. That would be enough to discourage people from doing it again.

    A year or two ago a woman named Erykah Badu did a video for a song “Window Seat” where she stripped and walked naked in dealy plaza in Dallas in the middle of the afternoon. Not a stitch of clothes on and there were kids there. She had a $500.00 ticket mailed to her! If it were a guy he would have had been arrested, jailed, and charged with sexual crimes against minors (and registered as a sex offender…) Its the same here. If it was a girl in her bra and panties it would have been laughed off. This guy was only to his underwear – covered enough to avoid indecent exposure. A referee isn’t a public official (the term official applies to the spots world only). . The only logical charge is trespass (with no real thought to commission of a crime). Make him do a week of community service and pay a small fine!

    • Daveoclock

      Agreed. Also, you can’t really blame him for what the idiot players did after them. It’s not like he conspired with both teams to distract the officials so they could brawl.

  • UA Cat

    He’s looking at the 1.5 years not because he dressed as a referee, it’s because of the all-access pass he faked that let him get down on the field without being stopped.

  • CJ

    So stupid – dude doesn’t deserve jail time. No wonder our jails are filled to overflowing. So stupid.

  • J

    The laws in this country are so complicated, biased, and over-zealous that its almost impossible to do anything legal. There are no organisations government or private that deal with these issues, that I know of, if you do please post. You can look at the daily newspapers, online new sources, new magazines, etc, and you’ll come accross some ridiculous law every day. For this story, my comment is this. This teams’ owner probably became over-emotional, or more likely had to “exert control” over “his” field and/or “teams’ reputation”. I could be wrong, obviously, but its not outside the realm of possibility. There is responsibility for “owning” people’s livelihood, and sometimes this messes with people’s head, causing them to do irrational things. I don’t think anyone gives a crap about this guy, anywhere. Another distraction to keep us all divided.

    Only in America…..bassackwards sentencing of crimes. Teach him a less but a month in jail is too long.

  • ASU MAN ! ! !

    Bring him up here to Phoenix and let Sheriff Joe dump him in TENT CITY….What a Knucklehead ! ! !

  • Wichita

    Only 1.5 years? He should get at least 5. He looks like a such a jackarse.

  • you
