The student’s shoes and wallet were near the door to the bathroom. The officer was able to then determine that he was under 21 years old his drivers license.

When TFD arrived, the student left the bathroom to speak with them.

The officer cited the student for minor in possession and released him into the charge of his roommate.

A code of conduct referral was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.
