Xavier guard J.P. Macura is officially your idiot of the day, as the 20-year old sophomore was charged disorderly conduct and obstructing official police business.

Why was he charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing police business?

Because Macura “knowingly drop[ped] his pants” at bar that he used a fake ID to get into.

Man, what?

Look, I’m not going to sit here and moralize about a college kid using a fake ID to get drunk and then doing something dumb while drunk. That sounds like a pretty standard night out for most college kids. I will say that J.P. might want to stop drawing that much attention to himself when he’s illegally in a bar, because I don’t think explaining this to Chris Mack is going to be much fun.

Macura was the sixth-man of the year in the Big East after averaging 9.4 points and 2.6 boards.
