Athens-Clarke County police say the trouble for one University of Georgia student began with an egg. Rather than making a cooking error, he might have made an error in judgment.

The 19-year-old UGA student was arrested last weekend for underage possession of alcohol, as well as marijuana possession. Police said they met the student on the third floor of the Georgian apartments after they'd been summoned by someone reporting that their car had been egged from an upstairs apartment window.

The student apparently admitted being one of those who threw eggs, according to the Red & Black.

In their police report, officers noted that they believed the student was impaired by alcohol "due to slurred speech and the smell of alcohol on his breath."

A check of his identification showed he's underage.

The student let officers into his apartment, where they apparently noticed a number of items: "a large amount of alcohol in the living area along with numerous Ziploc baggies of marijuana," as well as a vaporizer they stated is the sort used for marijuana consumption.

The student reportedly admitted that the pot and alcohol were his. He was arrested and taken to jail.

The newspaper report didn't indicate if the student faces charges related to the egging of the car.

However, the charges he does face are serious enough.

He could potentially receive academic sanctions, if convicted of marijuana possession and underage possession of alcohol, and it's very possible that a criminal record could do real damage to his job prospects after graduation.

An experienced attorney can guide a student and parents through a complex, often intimidating criminal justice system and help protect the student from negative academic and career repercussions.
