TROY, Mo. • A prank that caused $880 in damage to a football field has ended in some serious jail time for the man who did it.

Darrell A. Mozee II, 20, of the 600 block of Cherry Street, was sentenced to three years in jail for the stunt, which happened in September 2012. He pleaded guilty to felony property damage.

This wasn't Mozee's first brush with the law. He already was in jail when he was sentenced Monday by Circuit Judge Chris Kunza Mennemeyer. He had a previous conviction for burglary in 2011 and his suspended sentence had been revoked.

In the September 2012 football field incident, Mozee went to a friend's house adjacent to the Troy Middle School practice field. After his friend fell asleep, Mozee took the keys to his friend's Ford Mustang and drove the car onto the field, police said.

Mozee told police "he was being goofy" and did several doughnuts with the car and drove back and parked.

In addition to the jail time, Mozee must pay for the damages, beginning 60 days after his release.

Mozee still is facing additional charges in yet another case. This month he was charged with second-degree assault and driving with a revoked license for a crash in August 2013 that resulted in an injury. The charges indicate police believe Mozee was driving while intoxicated.
