"He was visiting friends on another campus (during his own Spring Break), and a bunch of them decided to go to a campus food court at 2 a.m. While they were leaving, one kid grabbed the fire extinguisher on the way out. So, now they are walking down the street with it. this kid starts spraying, then passes it to kid 2, who sprays, and passes it to godchild. OFCOURSE, a cruiser shows up, everyone flees, but gc decides that running is bad, and unnecessary, since he was innocent."

He wasn't "innocent." He was drinking underage and was the accessory to a crime. It doesn't sound like he even tried to stop the guy from stealing the fire extinguisher or spraying it. It sounds like he was drunk and was hanging out with drunken guys who as a group were doing something stupid. It's not like he was an innocent bystander who had no association with the people misbehaving. He needs to take responsibiity for his actions before his lack of judgment gets him into an even worse situation.

I know that I'm coming in late here, but I'd have told him to tell his parents and to get a lawyer. I also don't believe in keeping these kind of secrets from parents.
