Students have run-ins with law; survive to tellti
BY MELISSA PANTANO
The Battalion
M ike Fritsch groaned as the phone jarred
him from a peaceful slumber. He picked
up the receiver and mumbled “Hello.” On
the other end of the line was the frantic voice of
a friend, calling from the “drunk tank” of the Col
lege Station jail.
Fritsch, a junior accounting major, said his
friend was lucky to not get into more trouble af
ter he stumbled away at a party and ended up
naked in the back of a stranger’s pickup truck.
“He still doesn't know who found him, or
more importantly, what happened to his clothes,”
Fritsch said. “But he only got a [public intoxica
tion] for the whole thing, so he was lucky.”
One of the hardships of college life is dealing
with the long arm of the law, but some students
have had better experiences than others.
Richard Carter, a senior business major, said
his escape from the grasp of the law was a run-in
with the College Station Police Department.
“One night it was pretty late and raining real
ly hard,” Carter said. “I pulled my car over into
Central Park near the bypass to wait until the rain
let up a little bit. Then this cop pulled into the
parking lot, got out of his car in the pouring-down
rain and banged on my window just to tell me
that the park closed at 1 [a.m.]. I guess he thought
I was doing something illegal.”
Sometimes a person’s sex can help determine
how they are handled by the police.
Lori Vernor, a sophomore history major, said
her feminine prowess got her out of a ticket once.
"I was speeding in a school zone,” she said. “I
didn’t have my insurance with me. My new car
had dealer plates, and the paper one had fallen
off the back window.”
Vernor said as soon as she saw the police
lights in her rearview mirror she knew she was
in big trouble.
“I started crying and shaking, and the cop
let me go,” she said. “He was even nice
enough to tape the paper license plate back
onto my window.”
Vernor said it is much easier for women to deal
with the law than men.
“Girls can play the guilt card — make the cop
think of their little sister or something,” she said.
Joey Hammon, a senior economics major, said
sometimes peopia-get lucky with the law.
“My freshman y^Ar, we were all in the dorm
drinking,” Hammon said. “A few buddies and I
went out to the front of the dorm to smoke a cig
arette when 1 decided that 1 needed to be sick.
“I was puking in the bushes, and this bike cop
rides up. He asked to see my I.D., and I showed
him my student I.D. He gave it back and asked
for my license, [and] 1 accidentally gave him my
library card.”
Hammon said quick thinking and a little luck
saved him from any serious trouble.
“I finally found my license and handed it to
him,” Hammon said. “I then told him that I was
just getting over a really bad stomach flu and that
I really needed to go up to my room and go to
bed. He agreed, gave me my license back and
rode away.”

Brandon Savat, a junior engineering technolo
gy major, said a simple dorm prank got him in
some major trouble.
“The night before Final Review [of] my fresh
man year, some buddies and I were sitting
around the dorm,” he said. “One of my buddies
gets the idea to go out and burn a couch in the
middle of the band field. So we got a couch out
of the dumpster, went to the gas station and got
five gallons of gasoline.
“We pulled the truck up to the marching field,
and we saw campus security pull up behind us.
One of my friends didn’t see him, and the next
thing we knew, the couch was in flames. ”
Savat said the the night’s outcomeMptisfac
as bad as it could have been.
“We all piled into the truck, and ft:
followed us all the way to Kyle Field,”
“We finally just pulled over, and tlifi
questioned us and made us cleanupi
ashes from the burned couch. Theyweif?
nice enough to escort us to theft
BQs wouldn’t give us a hard time.
“We all ended up having to do®
hours in community service inallati
$200. Now, whenever someone needs*
done, they ask us when we are going is:
another couch.”
