Penn State Nittany Lion mascot Clint Gyory is charged with public drunkenness and criminal mischief in connection with an incident on Aug. 1.

The State College Police Department said Gyory, a sophomore business management major, had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath at the time he was cited.

Gyory was intoxicated and crawled into the bed of a pickup truck where he passed out, police said. Gyory also broke a rear view mirror off of a vehicle and took it, police said.

Police did not say if the vehicle Gyory fell asleep in and took the rear view mirror from were the same.

The charges against Gyory were filed on Aug. 24, according to court documents.

Police are still awaiting a plea from Gyory, according to court documents.

Penn State head cheerleading coach Curtis White released a statement today that said Gyory will not suit up during the month of September.

“We are certainly disappointed in the news of this incident,” White said in the statement.

White declined further comment.

Athletic Department officials could not confirm if a Nittany Lion mascot will be present at the first home football game of the season against Youngstown State this Saturday.

Gyory did not return calls for comment.
