Some Butte teens may be crying over spilled milk.
That’s because they face possible charges for imitating an Internet prank known as “gallon smashing” that has gone viral recently.
Butte police say one 15-year-old boy was cited with misdemeanor criminal mischief and theft for intentionally destroying two one-gallon cartons of milk in Walmart Friday evening. Police suspect three other teens may have been involved and charges were pending Monday.
The teen grabbed two one-gallon jugs of milk and threw them on the floor in Walmart at about 6:30 p.m., police reported. The jugs ruptured and spilled milk all over the floor; the juvenile then fell to the floor and rolled in the spilled milk, according to the police report.
Another teen allegedly recorded the incident with his cell phone, according to Undersheriff George Skuletich. Employees detained the teen accused of smashing the jugs, while the other teens managed to get away.
The boy allegedly told police his friends wanted to record him smashing the milk and then post the video on YouTube, Skuletich said.

Thugs...really? Jackasses yes, but not thugs. What’s the charge, felony milk tossing? I’ve lived where there is real crime. I’d gladly take milk tossers over murderers and rapists.
You're welcome to them.
You didn't ask me, but my answer is yes.
they are thugs....wannabees....that's where murderers and rapists come from....juveniles who were not held accountable....believe me, I've been there
White boys in Idaho breaking milk...right. I’m from outside Philly, I know thugs.
