— An officer was patrolling at the Oct. 5 football game against Kentucky when he saw a woman outside of Williams-Brice Stadium staggering towards the line to get into the student section. As the officer approached her, an unknown man also approached her and steadied her as she swayed on her feet. She smelled strongly of alcohol, had slurred speech and was “at times” incoherent. She was led by the officer to be evaluated by paramedics and, while she could walk on her own, she could not walk in a straight line and repeatedly walked into other people. As the woman was being evaluated, the man told the officer he could take her home. The officer later learned the man had never actually met the woman before. After the woman was cleared by paramedics, she told the officer she did not actually have a ticket and was unsure why she had been walking to the line. She said she did not know where her friends were and had no way of contacting them. The officer arrested the woman for disorderly conduct because “she lacked the ability to provide due care for herself.”

— An officer was patrolling near Blossom Street early Sept. 27 when he saw a man walking down the street, apparently intoxicated. The man could not walk in a straight line and eventually fell onto the sidewalk. When the officer approached the man, he immediately smelled alcohol. The man repeatedly refused to provide his ID but eventually acquiesced, handing the officer a Maryland ID that said he was 23 years old. The man struggled to remember the birth date on the license, which also lacked a “microprint security feature.” The officer told the man he thought the ID was fake and asked him for a real ID. The man handed over a Virginia license that said he was 19. After admitting to drinking throughout the night and being cleared by paramedics, the man was arrested for possessing beer underage.
