Police say the teen was severely beaten; struck by a 2X6 board about 20 times. The teen told an investigating officer that he had lived at the Tony Alamo Foundation in Fouke with his parents until recently. According to the victim, someone had made a comment that he looked like Harry Potter. He told police that he made a sarcastic remark in return and it was written up and reported to Tony Alamo. The victim says he was slapped about ten times before being forced to the floor, busting his chin open. The 17-year-old says he was made to stretch out on the floor and the beating began. At one point Kolbeck allegedly had his pants pulled down because he thought they were interfering with the punishment.

?I kind of thought we would do OK,? said Tribble, a May 2008 radio, television and film graduate. ?I didn?t think we would win anything and especially not second place ? I thought maybe an ?honorable mention. ?Tribble, along with her classmates Allison Bell and Graham Jones, entered their short film ?Harry Potter and the Torrid Love Affair. ? The comedy depicted a love triangle between Tribble, Jones and a third man, who is later revealed to be Harry Potter. ?I was in Hollie Lavenstein?s electronic production class,? Tribble said. ?We had to come up with a short film as a final project, and the last Harry Potter book had just come out, so that was fresh on my mind. We just thought it would be a funny movie to do.
