↵William John Scott is a freshman at Drew University. He studies political science. He plays defense on the lacrosse team. He describes himself on as a night person who likes to party.

↵Scott (or is it John Scott?) faces as much as 10 years in prison if convicted. Honestly, it’s still better than what usually comes up when college lacrosse players are accused of felonies.
