6:14 a.m. – Conroy, poor boy, too young to enjoy
An officer on early morning routine patrol in York Hall found a male student by the name of Raymond Conroy sleeping on one of the couches in the second floor lobby. The officer attempted to wake up the 18-year-old, but the student was unresponsive. At this point, the officer noticed a bottle of vodka next to the student and deduced that he had been drinking. The officer called UVAC to have him transported to a hospital. Once UVAC arrived, Conroy awoke and refused to be transported. Conroy was then issued a summons for illegal possession of liquor by a minor.
10:09 p.m. – Out cold after cold ones
A Resident Assistant in Somerset Hall called university police with some concern after witnessing two students physically dragging a third student up the stairs from the second floor to the fourth floor. Police arrived at the room where the students were holed up and started the process of interrogation. Although it was obvious that Brandon Braley, 19, and Wayne Gayle, 19, and their too-hammered-to-walk friend had been drinking, none of them were quick to admit it. Gayle eventually threw Braley under the bus, saying that Braley bought the alcohol and got the third person drunk. Braley took responsibility for the alcohol and was given a summons for furnishing a place for minors to consume alcohol. Gayle was also given a summons for illegal possession of liquor by a minor.

Officers responded to a civilian call reporting animals in the botanical gardens. Responding officers found two chickens who had gotten into the gardens. The officers realized it would be ridiculous if they were to attempt to catch the chickens, and called animal control to remove them. The chickens have since been removed from the premises.
