PROVO — Four University of Utah students have been charged with criminal mischief after allegedly vandalizing the cougar statue outside LaVell Edwards Stadium on Sept. 9, the morning of the BYU-Utah football game.
The students, Jackson Horspool, 18; Amy Newman, 19; Lane Hogan, 18; and Beau Maimer, 21; who live in Salt Lake City, allegedly spray-painted red “U” logos, “Go Utes” and a white smiley face on the cougar, then returned to the scene minutes later to “check out their work” and take photos, according to a BYU police report.
I can confirm that this is a completely legit photo.
