Curfew imposed on alleged teen assailant

Two teenage boys charged with assault following an incident on a Glacier High School freshman football bus denied the charges Thursday in their first appearance in Flathead District Court.

A curfew was imposed on one of the defendants because he was attending school events.

Logan Jones and Charles Calobeer, both 15, are facing the charges in Youth Court due to their alleged participation in the Sept. 12 assault of several players on the bus as they headed back to Kalispell after a game in Missoula.

Deputy County Attorney Lori Adams pushed Thursday for a curfew to be imposed on Jones and requested that he be placed on house arrest during the hours of that curfew.

Adams said the request was due to Jones showing up at homecoming events as well as freshman football games in which the alleged victims were playing.

She said that violated school restrictions that were imposed when Jones was first suspended and then expelled from classes at Glacier.

Jones' attorney, Julianne Hinchey, argued against the house arrest but agreed with the curfew.

Judge Stewart Stadler ordered that a curfew for Jones be enforced from 6 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. each night. If Jones violates his curfew by leaving home during those hours, he could be incarcerated in the Flathead County Youth Detention Center.

In both cases, hearings were set for Jan. 18 and Feb. 1, 2012, with a jury trial date of March 5, 2012.

Jones and Calobeer both were kicked off the football team after the incident.
