CONSEQUENCES OF RUSHING THE FIELD LOWERED
Charges dropped from first-degree to second-degree

The Missourian article "Six plead guilty for rushing Faurot Field" by Samantha Friedman talks about six of the 21 people arrested on Oct. 22 for rushing the football field. They rushed the field after Mizzou's big win against Nebraska. The six people who plead guilty received a fine of $250 or 10 hours of community service. One of my friends is one of those six people, and he'll be doing the community service.
The article mentions that the charges were changed from first-degree to second-degree, making the crime an infraction instead of a misdemeanor. The article then goes on to read the text of what makes it a first-degree crime, but nothing about second-degree, which is what they actually wound up being charged with. I thought it was interesting to see what exactly the first-degree charge was, but it might have been more beneficial to see the second-degree text as well.
