State Nation I CRIME Police: Stoned teen killed girl, 4 OIL CITY, Pa. (AP) - A teen-: - - - ager was high on marijuana when he sexually assaulted a 4-year-old girl and threw her into a ravine, where she hit her head on chunks of concrete and died, his father said. Despite these actions, his son is "not a monster," Ralph Bowen said.' "He knows what he did was wrong and how bad it was," he said. "He's really Shenee Freeman Shenee Freeman broken up." Body found Bowen's son Nicholas, 17, has been charged with homicide in the death of Shenee Freeman. Her body was found' Thursday, 12 hours after a search began, buried under leaves not quite a football field's length away from her home. She had been sexually assaulted and died of blunt force trauma to the head, Venango County Coroner John Greggs said Friday.. The city planned to proceed with trick-or-treating, scheduled for 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. today. Oil City has held the Halloween event in daylight since Shauna Howe, 11, was abducted and killed Oct. 27, 1992 - five years ago, almost to the day. Nobody was ever arrested. Nicholas Bowen was agitated before the crime Wednesday because he had just been suspend-* ed from school, his father told The Derrick of Oil City in Friday's editions. The teen-ager was a senior at Oil City High School and took electrical engineering classes at a vocational school. He snapped after Shenee and two 4-year-old friends began playfully, taunting and striking him with a stick at their housing development, the father said his son told him. Before confessing and leading authorities to her body, the boy joined the scores of volunteers searching for her and even hugged the mother to comfort her. At his arraignment, he sobbed as his father hugged him and stroked his hair. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. The teenager's drug use probably did not cause the attack because marijuana typically has a calming effect, a drug counselor said, but the drug may have impaired his judgment. Also, marijuana users tend to grow irritable when the sedative effect wears off, said Michael Flaherty, vice president of -St. Francis Hospital's Division of Psychiatric and Addiction Services. But Bowen likely had psycholog-* ical problems beyond drug use, he said. The boy lived with" his father across town but was in Shenee'shousing development Wednesday because he was a friend of Shenee's neighbor, Shaun Williamson, said Williamson's wife, Angie. Bowen. Shenee's mother was visiting inside the Williamsons' home while Shenee played outside with Williamson's son and another girl. After the boy cut himself and went inside, Bowen took Shenee into the woods with him as the other girl looked on, neighbors said. Angie Williamson described Bowen as "odd"but never thought he was dangerous.
