I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't get arrested for that. Give them a citation and send them on their way.
Thank goodness. Knoxville's streets are a little safer now that a nineteen year old with a beer has been stopped.
Per John Brice... Hurd was never arrested or even handcuffed... Merely got a citation... Was already punished internally...
For those of you who like to blow this off as common, you absolutely SUCK! This is a stupid Animal House cliche'. I did not get arrested for drinking as a FR at UT. My daughter has not been arrested for drinking thus far as a SOPH at Arky. So, if you are irresponsible and want your kids to do it, fine. But, this is not a good thing. Not tragic, but not good and not trivial. Stop Breaking the Damn Law! Why do we have the VFL program? On a lighter note, seems like the Fulmer days.
