That’s just the way IC area cops work. They don’t really care who you are or how minor the offense. It’s probably funnier to the coaches than it is disappointing.

Sad part is I know a couple of guys where this type of thing has happened to them.
Cops give him a ride home LOL. What decade did you grow up in? Law enforcement are usually instructed by the County Attorney to arrest to create revenue. What's a PAULA cost? I'm guessing about $600.00
Becaue the ICPD has had a long history of having nothing to do besides find ways to give students drinking citations.
They get higher commission or bonuses the higher UI is ranked for party schools.
Im betting an arrest in this situation is mandatory - to protect the agency from a lawsuit if something happened to the kid or someone else.
As I stated earlier, this is an Iowa City thing. Public Intoxication is not a crime in Madison, Wisconsin, and won't get you arrested. At most you'd get a ticket to mail in. No arrest record, no name in the paper, no night in jail. You'd only get arrested if you were causing trouble, for disorderly conduct.
I guess IC better build a new jail that holds about 40,000 inmates for gameday
Amen, well said ICWEST.. and kids will be kids.. lessons in life and remember at least for me it was always more fun to drink underage and get away with it as turning 21 as the excitement wears off quickly.. have to say getting into bars with my friends drivers license.. as I took it to the DMV at the time and used his information such as his birth certificate as well as a piece of mail and boooom, I got my picture on his license and it was absolutely legit as they come .. didn’t hurt that he was nearly the same exact size and weight and same color eyes and hair ... those were the damn good glory days
You must be old
.....they took that away a long time ago.My buddy did that with his older brother and he got a letter in the mail about some facial recognition thing and that if he didn't send the ID in right away his ass was in some serious trouble.
But yes, underage drinking was a blast!
I am pretty sure players in OR/CO/CA etc will all be screwed if they drop dirty, doesn't matter what the state law is afaik.
Sounds like the majority of the cops in our country
WSU Cougar here. Read the BR article, commented on my site, had to come over here and see what Iowa thought.
22 year old adult, not in practice or the season, has a buncha beers, apparently orders an Uber. No crime yet.
Mistakes cop car for his Uber (note, in Pullman, WA we hold our .204 BAC better than that). Still no crime in my world.
Suspended by your coach. For what? At WSU he would get a pat on the butt from our coach for not driving drunk. 22 year old college student ordering an Uber.
.204 is a really high BAC. Rieff had to consume a great deal of alcohol to get to that level. Do you think Doyle is OK with his guys having a .204 BAC?
"Oh, I was just ordering an uber" is the drunk college excuse du jour. Give me a break.
He is entering his fourth year in the program, and Kirk has always held upper classmen to a higher standard.
This is not a small thing.

There was a story back in the day where some dude in downtown IC decided that they were in no condition to drive so they 'passed out' in the driver's seat of their car....hoping to sleep it off. Cops pull up to the window in the wee hours of the morning and found out he was 'three sheets to the wind.' I believe they nailed him for public intox and I want to say they also nailed him for OWI.....even though vehicle was turned off/was not actively driving it. I am not sure of the legal ramifications of this but I believe it had to do with the potential of operating the vehicle (by sitting in the driver's seat) in a intoxicated state?
My step brother was charged with an OWI while asleep/passed out in the backseat of the car while parked in the parking lot of the bar. His "mistake"? It was the dead of winter and his buddies who put him there, they were still inside drinking, left the car running so that he would have heat. It wasn't his car. He wasn't driving. Yet he was charged because the arresting officer said, "he could have driven". This happened in Wapello.
Once upon a time, SP, but Madison is a no tolerance zone these days, especially on or near the campus.
Until the law gets changed PI is a crime, even if simply walking straight home from a neighborhood tap.
Once upon a time, that is how it would have been handled, FB player or otherwise.
Driving home one night, over the limit I'm sure, I drove past a police officer. Scared as hell, I took a slight detour on a gravel road not far from my house. I took the keys out and jumped in the passenger seat. Stayed there a couple hours if I remember correctly. That was probably 20 years ago.
Being drunk and asleep at the wheel of his car while it was parked in his apartment lot with the keys on the console was sufficient evidence to convict a Crookston man of drunken driving, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled unanimously Thursday.
In a seven-page decision, Justice Alan Page said the jury could reasonably conclude that Daryl Fleck was in "physical control" of his vehicle when arrested.

What they should have done was get him an Uber ride since he was TRYING to be responsible.
But we don't know the story, he could have been mouthing off to the cop, who knows. He could have been pissing in the street and the cop let him go easy. Hard to say.
