From today's Campus Watch crime report:
Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor (Jester Center West, 201 East 21st Street)
Two UT students were observed assisting a third UT student up a flight of stairs located on the west side of the dormitory. The two assistants needed to hold the third student upright while the officer spoke with them. The student in need of assistance was found to have consumed alcoholic beverages to the point she was a physical endangerment to herself. The two assistants dropped the intoxicated student when she began to display a severe involuntary physical reaction to her over-consumption of an alcoholic beverage. One of the two assistants stated she is a daily reader of the Campus Watch and requested this report be omitted from today's watch - oops, too late; my apologies. Occurred on 12-4-05 at 2:20 AM.Crime Prevention Tip:
I placed this entry into the Campus Watch to illustrate the importance of having sober friends around when you've been drinking. As shown in this case, a sober friend will not keep you from getting a citation, but it may keep you from going to jail. If the student in this case did not have sober buddies with her, she would have been arrested for public intoxication. More importantly, a sober buddy will keep you from getting injured or worse. Just be careful when selecting your sober buddy. If that person is squeamish around partially digested stomach contents, he or she may drop you as a friend - literally.
Another classic, eh? Heh heh.
