Howard Dean's son detained in burglary
Howard Dean's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination may have hit a snag last Friday, when he announced that his son had been detained by police in connection with a burglary at a Vermont country club. Paul Dean, 17, and three friends from his high school hockey team were reportedly discovered early Friday morning at the Burlington Country Club by a police officer on routine patrol. "Children do stupid things and this is one of them," Dean said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press. Dean said his understanding was that "Paul's role was to drive the car," while his classmates burglarized the country club. An officer on patrol saw Paul and questioned him, Dean said, and the incident unraveled from there.
