YouTube video shows young men defecating, stun gunning each other, running naked through abandoned Lew Wallace school


GARY — The Gary Police Department has opened an investigation into a 13-minute YouTube video showing young men defecating into a file cabinet, stun gunning each other, and running naked through the gym of the abandoned Lew Wallace High School, which closed in 2014.

Gary Mayor Jerome Prince said he ordered a police investigation into the video "Over Night At Abandoned School In Gary!" Poster Stephen Nelson, who has 163 subscribers, uploaded the video that's captioned "my boys and I stay the night in an abandoned school in Gary, IN attempting to stay 24 hours but only stayed 17. Enjoy us messing around and doing stupid stuff."

It shows a group of young men exploring the vacant high school where they play football on the roof, vomit off the side of the building, set off fireworks, run directly through a fire, see how long they can endure the stench of the abandoned cafeteria meat locker, work out in the weight room, and race nude around the track in the gym. One zaps himself with a stun gun in the butt for the amusement of the 7,000-plus people who viewed the video online.

"Obviously, we certainly can't tolerate this of behavior in the city," Prince said. "They provided enough information that we have passed on to police and prosecutors in addition to the obvious charges of trespassing and breaking and entering."
