The NELK Boys are known for their insane prank videos and other wild antics, having hosted massive meetups across the globe (Remember that time their huge meet and greet in Ireland got busted by police? Yeah, that happened.). While they\u2019ve faced repercussions for these gatherings before, a recent fiasco involving the group and a large number of Illinois State University students could have some serious consequences for those involved. On September 8, footage surfaced online of a huge party thrown by the NELK Boys and students near the University\u2019s campus, showing a massive throng of people living it up in spite of the current global health crisis. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1303787630769758209?s=20 Needless to say, this rager caught the attention of University staff, and the ISU President spoke out about the incident during a press conference shortly thereafter. \u201cIt really gives me no joy to convey my great disappointment in the actions of those who gathered,\u201d President Larry Dietz said of the party, going on to claim that he and the Mayor of Normal were looking into \u201cpotential sanctions\u201d against those involved. Those \u201csanctions\u201d could include possible suspensions for students who attended the gathering, including \u201cinterruption of the students\u2019 plan to be here.\u201d That\u2019s not all; Normal also introduced orders that limited the number of people allowed at gatherings near the university, with punishment for breaking said order including a fine up to $750. While the group dispersed once police arrived on the scene, it seems like video evidence of the party could result in the identification of a few key students \u2014 and some punishments for not observing city ordinances. This news comes hot on the heels of TikToker Bryce Hall facing charges for throwing similar parties in Los Angeles \u2014 and influencer could face up to a year in jail and\/or a $2,000 fine. Even if your favorite YouTubers show up to town, going to a huge party just isn\u2019t a good idea right now, especially if the law gets involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Illinois State students in NELK Boys party facing fines &#038; suspensions YouTube: NELK[jwplayer mgzBNoPb] YouTube group and notorious pranksters, the \u2018NELK Boys,\u2019 threw a massive party at Illinois State University with their fans \u2014 but it seems like the rager could result in sanctions against some of the students who were in attendance.
