Upon arrival, Campus Police met with a witness, who stated she was walking down the sidewalk and noticed a male and female assisting a second female who appeared intoxicated.
Upon the witness’ encounter with the group, she noticed the intoxicated female needed help walking. At this time, she stated she was going to call Campus Police for assistance and she left the scene immediately prior to Campus Police’s arrival.
The male student assisting the intoxicated female stated that they were drinking whiskey at a small party. The smell of alcohol was emanating from his breath.
The intoxicated female was unstable to stand on her feet. Campus Police then had her sit on a bench. She was unable to form complete sentences when asked questions about her actions that evening, became very emotional and began to cry.
TCNJ EMS was dispatched and arrived on the scene to evaluate the intoxicated female. Due to the cold weather, Campus Police had all the individuals move inside the Music Building for warmth.
The male and female assisting the intoxicated student were cooperative when asked about their whereabouts that evening, and the other female who left the scene was cleared to remain on campus.
Pro Staff arrived on the scene and spoke to both of the individuals. Campus Police escorted them back to their rooms.
Amnesty was granted due to their compliance with Campus Police’s questions.
