Intoxicated man refuses to leave fraternity house

A man was taken to jail for trespass and minor in possession on Nov. 9 at 2 a.m.

Officers were working at the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity concert that evening. When the concert and after-party had concluded, they walked through the house trying to clear out any guests remaining from the 1,500 person crowd. As one officer was walking through the hallway, he observed event staff speaking to a man.

The event staff was asking whether or not he lived there. One of the fraternity members said he was not a member of the house, so the staff asked him to leave immediately. The man then walked around them and continued down the hallway toward the officer. The staff tried to stop him, but he moved around them, yelling profanities.

The officer stepped in front of the man and put up his hand, pointing to the exit while telling him to leave. The man pushed the officer’s hand away and quickly entered one of the bedrooms. He slammed the door shut. The officer pushed the door open and told him to leave the room. The man sat on a couch in the room. The officer pulled him up to a standing position and told him to leave. He cursed the officer and attempted to pull away from the officer.

The officer told the man not to fight him as he escorted him outside. Reports noted the man was trying to stop the entire time.

Once he was outside, the officer told him to leave or he would be arrested for trespassing. The man continued to yell profanities and walk around the parking lot. When the officer turned around to walk back into the house, the man approached the area of the door and began yelling for the officer. He was refusing to leave the property.

The officer placed the man under arrest for third-degree criminal trespassing. The man began shouting that the officer was trying to assault him and that he had done nothing wrong. The officer instructed him to sit down, but he refused.

The man asked the officer for his name and badge number. The officer attempted to give the man his business card. He told the man he would place it in his front pocket. The man told him, “”You can put it in my dick.”” The officer decided not to give him a card, but told him that his name and badge number would be on the bottom of his citation.

Police then ran a check on the man’s driver’s license. He was only 20 years old. He was also cited for minor in possession of alcohol, based on the strong odor of intoxicants coming from his breath, his watery, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and demeanor.

He was taken to the Pima County Jail, where he was booked.
