This one's got legs, my friends

From the KNS story:

The warrant says Cooter climbed through woman’s window on Franklin Station Way, stripped down to his underwear and got into bed with the woman Saturday, the WVLT story stated.

She called police and Cooter was arrested.

Cooter is charged with aggravated burglary.

…what did he steal, exactly?

It's been ten years . . .

. . . and I only studied criminal law for one semester, but if I recall correctly, burglary is generally defined as entering a dwelling at night with the intent to commit a felony therein. Doesn’t have to be stealing. And I’m going against my better advice and hitting publish before I check that.

Well, not too bad

39-14-402. Burglary. —

(a) A person commits burglary who, without the effective consent of the property owner:

     (1) Enters a building other than a habitation (or any portion thereof) not open to the public, with intent to commit a felony, theft or assault;

39-14-403. Aggravated burglary. —

(a) Aggravated burglary is burglary of a habitation as defined in §§ 39-14-401 and 39-14-402.

So the “aggravated” part is because it’s a house, and no, he didn’t have to intend to steal something.

but the "burglary" part is still related to "felony, theft or assault", right?

the “aggravated” refers to it being a house. the “burglary” describes generally what happened.

Not clear on what “felony, theft or assault” Cooter allegedly performed at the house. And, frankly, don’t want to know – unless it’s just funny or stupid.

I would guess that the "intent" was enough.

Climbing into bed with a girl uninvited would seem to carry weight toward intent to assault at the very least.

But this is usually where I tune out of legal news until the final reports are out. Speculative reporting and lawyas are a bad, bad mix.

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
