Pranking Seniors Release 72 Thousand Ladybugs At Maryland High School
Read Time:1 Minute, 9 Second
It’s yet another senior prank gone awry in a Maryland high school as students found themselves on the wrong side of the law after allegedly breaking into their high school in the early morning hours on Wednesday and dispersing 72,000 ladybugs. That’s right: 72,000 thousand!
The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office has identified seven suspects: Police say five mask- and hoodie-clad males broke into Chopticon High School by busting in a door, triggering an alarm; two others remained in the car.
My Fox DC reports six were seniors at the school and one was an alumnus. NBC Washington reports the ladybugs were purchased online.
Four are juveniles and have been hit with fourth-degree burglary, property destruction under $1,000, and disruption of school activities charges, reports WUSA-TV; the other three will be charged as adults by criminal summons.
There also have been consequences at the school and some students are protesting them as unfair. They claim one male who was involved got the green light to play in the baseball state championship game post-prank, but that the class president is being barred from giving a speech at tomorrow’s graduation. One can’t help but wonder why the surprise. After all the jock straps always win in a contest with the “thinkers.”

My old high school has done some serious senior pranking. One of them involved a robo call to tell everyone don’t come into class till 3rd period, because something is wrong with the electrical all through the facility. That was a relatively recent. I cannot think of ours right now but I’ll ask the besty since he was more involved than I was in the coming up with it, with the crew we hung around with. I couldn’t afford the suspension or trouble from my mom, because I was going to be starting at Stanford that August and I wanted no part of trouble, thinking it would go on a permanent record. I know, in hindsight I should have gone along with it, but it is what it is.
