Charlie Langton: Should Streaking Be A Felony?

An Arizona undergraduate found out the hard way they don't like streaking much where he comes from.

Jace Lankow,22, was charged with a felony after running onto the field during a University of Arizona game sans his clothing. For unknown reasons, his nudity incited some kind of on-field fight that led to the ejection of two players.

Lankow was wrestled to the ground and ticketed. It inspired 1270 Talk's Charlie Langton to ask: Should streaking be a felony?

"They charged him criminally with, the charge is criminal impersonation, it's a felony, this guy could go to prison for a  year and a half for streaking," Langton said.

"It's not enough! Give him more time, we've got to end this terrible problem of streakers, it's a terrible program," Langton said, laughing.

"A year and a half? Wow, that's pretty heavy duty. I guess the people of Arizona want to send a message that if you streak ... during a football game we're going to send  you to prison."

"That's a little heavy, that's a little heavy duty.  But it is kind of funny."

So what do you think, should streaking be a felony?
