Hannah is charged with class D felony property damage in the first degree, an offense punishable by up to four years in Missouri Department of Corrections, or up to one year in county jail and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
According to an incident report filed with the probable cause statement, Marshall Police Department officers found Hannah in the middle of North Miami, as he flagged down officers responding to an alarm at the store.
The report says Hannah told officers he had been in a fight earlier in the evening, and that after the fight, he heard the alarm from the store and ran down the street to "see what was going on."
Hannah, the report continues, then told officers he saw someone he knew break a window and then run away from the area. Observing Hannah's slurred speech, officers arrested Hannah for possession of alcohol by consumption; a chemical test of his blood alcohol showed a level of 0.236 percent, more than ten times the legal limit of 0.02 percent for a minor.
Further investigation by officers revealed the person Hannah named as a suspect has been in custody at Saline County Justice Facility since late July.
Charges contained in reports provided by law enforcement officials are not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting charges must be presented before a jury, whose duty is to determine if the accused is guilty or not guilty of the charges.

I agree to many youngsters getting in trouble and a trip to the wood shed doesn't hurt anyone but, makes them think twice.
You're worried about his school? He can go to DOC and get a law degree...
Please finish reading the story before u respond!
I agree with born and raised.. He should at least be on house arrest and go to hid parents, and get back in school... Breaking the law is not right, but neither is keeping him from school...
A 17 year old has been in jail since July for breaking a window and being intoxicated? I'm all about enforcing consequences for actions, but this seems extreme. Frankly, he's already served more time than he probably will get when he goes to court. Something else to consider is that if he's in custody, then he's not in school. I don't know this young man, but I do know that education is essential, and without it he is likely to continue down the wrong path.
Right-on earlpeters a good butt whuppen never hurt no kid, might make them walk funny for a couple days but they'll think twice before they do wrong next time. Power to the People!
i was no angel when i was a boy. but i never never tore anybodies elses property up. you want to teach this boy a lesson you make him **** well fix and pay for every bit of damage he did. i know kids are going to be kids im not niave, but when any child starts tearing up community property its time to lay down the law. i know some of the whippings i got by my dad would be considered, these days, abuse. but i gaurentee you it sure as hell made me think twice about doing something stupid a second time. having fun is fine, but when you start tearing up somebody elses property i got a real problem with that. if he was feeling so froggy he should have went home and busted out his own windows at least the only people effected would have been him and his folks. and hopefully his dad would have gave him a reason to think that was a bad idea.
