Default Michigan teens' dumb prank injures biker

http://www.woodtv.com/Global/story.a...9&nav=0Rcec9bQ


(Wyoming, July 14, 2005, 5:32 p.m.) Two teens are charged with assault
after stretching plastic wrap across a road, injuring a motorcyclist.

Police say Nicholas Gortsema and Andrew Witjer, both 17, stretched
industrial strength plastic wrap across the 5300 block of Canal Street in
Wyoming just before 1:30 a.m. July 1.

Jim Anderson was riding his motorcycle and rode into the wrap. He was
knocked down and suffered cuts and a fractured rib.

Police found the teens nearby. They reportedly admitted to the prank and
said they expected a car to hit the wrap, not a motorcycle.

The teens are now charged with felonious assault, and if convicted they
could spend as much as 15 years behind bars.
