Joseph Wendell Reid mug shot What badge do you get for being a thug?

Three Boy Scouts and a 21-year-old volunteer scout leader at Florida's Camp Shands are accused of forcing a 12-year-old to drink urine, supposedly because he made a racist remark.

Joseph Wendell Reid and the others -- two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old were supposedly "teaching" the younger scout "a lesson," according to authorities quoted in Ocala.com.

The four allegedly lured the other boy away to an isolated area, says a camp director says who found plastic bottles filed with urine.

In addition to the charges filed against them, the boys' scouting membership has been revoked. In addition, Reid earns a spot in the Weird Crime Mug Shot Hall of Shame.

This is really a sad and attrocious bullying incident. It’s especially disturbing to learn that the camp leader who is suppposed to be a mentor and role model type figure was involved with this.
