BURBANK, CA — A recent taping of the Price is Right ended abruptly when Marine Lance Corporal Evan Boger drunkenly crashed a car on set causing over $100,000 in damages. Police responded to the scene, charging Boger with driving under the influence, and Corporal Ernesto Arvayo with misdemeanor sexual battery in an incident involving one of the show's models.
The Marines were part of a group from the Single Marine Program of 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines. According to the SMP Coordinator Janet Liscombe, "SMP provides Marines living in the barracks with safe and fun alcohol-free events. I am just stunned that the Marines involved would not only drink during this event but also become heavily intoxicated."
According to Marines participating in the trip, the drinking began before the buses arrived. "Hell yeah, we were drinking," confessed Lance Corporal John Hogens. "We had a mandatory accountability formation at 0600. I have to drink just to get through the day."
Things turned sour quickly when Cpl Arvayo was called to contestants row. "That shit was hilarious," laughed LCpl Hogens. "Fucker could barely stand let alone walk down the aisle. Then he keeps yelling one dollar on every bid with that shit-eating grin on his face."
