Police beat

Man claims he was drinking from the grass
On Sept. 24, a police officer noticed a man walking down College Ave. carrying a silver can. When the man, Victor Doyle, 20, saw the officer’s car approaching, he dropped the can. The officer ordered Doyle to pick up the can. As Doyle picked it up, the officer smelled alcohol on his breath and noticed that his eyes were red and glassy. When asked why he was drinking, Doyle replied that he had just walked a long distance and now had cottonmouth. He claimed that he had been licking the grass to get the moisture off and found an unopened beer can on the ground. Doyle was summonsed for possession of alcohol by a minor. As the officer was driving away, Doyle started to hitchhike. It is illegal to hitchhike and Doyle was given a warning.

Minor drives with alcohol
On Sept. 30 at 8:25 p.m. an officer observed a minor coming out of a store with alcohol and getting into a car. Brenda Lamontagne, 19, was pulled over for a traffic violation and summonsed for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor.

Underage drinking at party
On Sept. 30 at 11:22 p.m. officers were called to a party because of the noise. An officer spoke with Julianna Cole, 20, and summonsed her for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor. Scott Batson, 20, Ian Sprague, 20, and Andrew Horner, 19, were holding the party. All three were summonsed for furnishing alcohol to minors.
