RIO RANCHO, N.M. (AP) - A former New Mexico high school basketball player has filed a lawsuit against two former teammates for allegedly putting urine in his hair gel.
The Albuquerque Journal reports (http://bit.ly/TGqSjI) that a lawsuit recently filed in New Mexico's 13th Judicial District says Rio Rancho High basketball players Carlos Sanchez and Christopher Gutierrez played the prank against teammate Wake Gardner last April. He reported the prank to school officials and the two boys were charged with aggravated battery, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property.
Gardner, who filed the suit himself and isn't playing basketball during his senior year, said this week he wanted to raise awareness about bullying.
But the mothers of the two boys sued said that it was Gardner who bullied their sons and provoked their sons to respond.
