Student apologizes for urinating on nativity scene

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - January 12, 2010

Twenty-two-year-old Nathan Strawn said Monday he "was being a drunken idiot" a day earlier when he urinated on the nativity scene in Wilkes-Barre's public square.

Strawn is charged with public drunkenness, indecent exposure, open lewdness and desecration of venerated objects. He says he plans to plead guilty at a Jan. 20 preliminary hearing.

Strawn met with officials King's College in Wilkes-Barre on Monday. A school spokesman says Strawn faces punishment ranging from a warning to expulsion.

Strawn has vowed to quit drinking.
