15 beers and a bottle o’ rum

On Sept. 4 around 10:20 p.m., a UAPD officer went to Likins Hall in response to a disturbance call. The officer met with the resident assistant, who said that several students in one of the rooms were making a lot of noise during quiet hours. The RA said the residents had refused to let the RAs in to check for alcohol.

The officer went into the room and noticed two men and two women. The students said they had not known about the quiet hour policy until the RAs had shown up at the door. The officer smelled a strong odor of intoxicants and asked if there was any alcohol inside the room. One of the residents, a man, said there was and gave the officer an nearly empty 1.5 liter bottle of Captain Morgan rum from under his desk. There were also 15 cans of Keystone Light beer in the refrigerator. The two women said they were just visiting their friends in the room and had four shots of rum each. One of the men said he had about five shots and the other man said he drank about five beers. They said they had an unknown man purchase the alcohol for them from a CVS drugstore a few miles away.

All four students were cited for minor in possession of alcohol in body. The officer had the men dispose of the alcohol and the empty cans. A Code of Conduct violation was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.
