Student apologizes for urinating on nativity scene
(AP) — A student at a northeastern Pennsylvania Roman Catholic college has apologized for urinating on a public nativity scene. The student, 22, said Monday he "was being a drunken idiot" a day earlier when he urinated on the nativity scene in Wilkes-Barre's public square.
He was charged with public drunkenness, indecent exposure, open lewdness and desecration of venerated objects. He said he plans to plead guilty at a Jan. 20 preliminary hearing.
The student met with officials King's College in Wilkes-Barre on Monday. A school spokesman said he faces punishment ranging from a warning to expulsion.
He has vowed to quit drinking.
