The women were each carrying clear plastic bottles and a two-liter bottle of root beer. The officer stopped the group and discovered the clear bottles were half full of vodka. The red cup also contained alcohol. The man had red, watery eyes and all of the individuals had an odor of alcohol coming from their mouths. They all admitted to drinking alcohol.
