Boner Candidate #3: HEY. HE WAS A BLACK KID RUNNING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, ALL RIGHT?
For more than two years, Clarise Coleman faithfully attended every track practice and every cross-country meet for her son, Chase. Part of it was being a supportive parent, proud that Chase had finally found “his sport.” Coleman loved the camaraderie that the cross-country team gave her 15-year-old freshman, even if it meant frequently road-tripping from their home in Syracuse for meets all around New York state. But as the mother of a nearly nonverbal autistic child, Coleman also knew that she needed to be there for Chase in case he needed help. She often scouted out racecourses ahead of time, noting where the lanky teenager might get lost or confused, as he often did. A few weeks ago, her worst fears came true when Chase — who was running in a meet in Rochester, N.Y., with his team from Corcoran High School — was assaulted by a stranger in the middle of a race.

The police decided to test the substance, that to officers, looked suspicious, “we tested it three different times,” Says Chuck Bowen with Fort Chaffee PSD, “we got a positive concluding each time we tested,” says Bowen.
