Nevada has a loitering law that states: Any person who, without legitimate reason to supervise any of such children or other legitimate reason to be at leisure in such place, loiters about any school or public place at or near which children attend or normally congregate is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Northern Nevada had three truck driving schools, one in Reno, one in Sparks, and one in Fernley.  Sam Shady, the owner of the truck driving school in Reno was upset that the other two truck driving schools set their tuition rates below his rate and as a result his enrollment dropped.  One day Sam sent a letter to the owners of the truck driving schools in Sparks and Fernley asking them to agree that all three schools set their tuition rates the same.  Sam reasoned that if they all set their tuition rates to the same amount, their enrollment would be about the same and they would all make more money.  The owner of the Sparks truck driving school agreed.  Is Sam Shady guilty of violating state or federal Antitrust Acts which makes it a crime to enter any contract or engage in any combination or conspiracy in restraint of trade or to monopolize or attempt to monopolize trade?
