If you're a fan of winter sports, you may remember Shaun White as a gold medal winner.If you're a pop culture junkie, you may recall White as the Flying Tomato in this issue of Rolling Stone.
But if you're a Summit County (Colorado) sheriff, you probably know White as the punk who set off the fire alarm and looks suspicious in the theft of a 2000 Audi.
A security camera caught someone who looked very much like White setting off the alarm in the game room at Beaver Run Resort in Breckenridge, and a little sleuthing showed White's boot prints tracking away from the scene of the crime.
White was questioned in the theft of the Audi, which took place the same day, but later ruled out as a suspect for reasons unclear. Just guessing here, but perhaps it had to do with the fact that White probably has more than enough endorsement money to buy his own 2000 Audi.
White is still only 21, and besides his second-degree criminal tampering citation will probably be dismissed or otherwise forgotten. But you have to wonder, after White's bizarre and disappointing behavior, who will all the young, pasty white, freckled red-headed snowboarders look up to now?
