CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Two Oregon Duck fans have pleaded not guilty to stealing the mascot head of ESPN’s Lee Corso during the Civil War football game in Corvallis.
August Michael Zane Cuneo of Eugene and Alexander Joseph Westerberg of Harrisburg entered the pleas Thursday in Benton County Circuit Court.
Deputy District Attorney Chris Stringer said there are no plans to jail the men if they are convicted of the misdemeanor theft charges.
Cuneo told The Register-Guard that allegations involving him have all been false.
Oregon State Police cited the pair, alleging they took the mascot head when they spotted it next to an ESPN trailer on the Oregon State University campus where Corso was covering the Dec. 4 game as an analyst.
