A University of Georgia student driving down Athens' Arch Street on a recent Sunday morning was pulled over after a police officer saw the student's car bump into the curb.
The 23-year-old student was asked to perform field sobriety tests, according to the police report posted by the Red & Black. He was later arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
"You're (expletive) up my life," the student reportedly said to the officer.
When asked by the officer why he had a small cut and bruise on his forehead, the student said he'd hit himself with a beer bottle.
"It happens," he reportedly said. "It's Athens."
He was taken to Clarke County Jail.
In an unrelated incident, a 19-year-old student was charged with underage possession of alcohol, as well as possession of fake identification.
She apparently fell asleep with her Brumby Hall dorm room door open.
A resident assistant and housing security worker found her asleep in the room.
The student gave the security worker a Florida driver's license which indicated she's 23 years old. But she later gave the worker another ID; the second one giving her real name and age.
The student apparently admitted the first driver's license was a fake ID.
She also reportedly said she'd had one or two drinks earlier that night.
She was also taken to Clarke County Jail after her arrest.
Both students could face very negative consequences if found guilty of the accusations they now face.
The DUI is an especially serious charge; one best left to an experienced attorney.
