Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house disturbing the peace
SDSUPD was called to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house at around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday Feb. 20 to investigate reports of underage drinking and disruptive noise.
Upon arrival, police assessed the scene and spoke with the president of the SAE fraternity house, SDSUPD Capt. Josh Mays said. The residents complied with the request and no further action was necessary.
In situations such as this, police will most likely issue a warning to the residents, Mays said. If officers are called to the same address a second time, they can potentially issue an administrative citation or proceed to arrest one or more of the residents depending on the circumstances. An administrative citation consists of a $1,000 fine to each resident of the address and the owner of the property.
SDSU student arrested for public intoxication
About 1 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20, a female SDSU student was arrested near the Olmeca Residence Hall for public intoxication. She was found unconscious on the grass and was transported to the Las Colinas Detention Facility for women.
Mays said police will make an arrest for public intoxication when it’s clear that the individual is not capable of caring for the safety of themselves or others.
Since alcohol can affect individuals’ behavior differently depending on a variety of factors, there is no quantitative measurement of blood alcohol content to make these determinations, Mays said.
