Some possible Ohio University siblings were charged with underage drinking this weekend.
Some Ohio University siblings may have gotten the full college experience — from the brick-covered streets to the flashing lights from an Athens Police Department cruiser.
While APD officers stood in the parking lot of the police department in the early hours Sunday morning, they saw a male running through the lot. According to the report from APD, the male, a 17-year-old, tripped over his own feet and rolled onto the pavement.
He laid there for a few seconds, and then got back on his feet. Officers approached him and observed a strong smell of alcohol coming from his breath. Then, he told the officers he didn’t know where he was going, according to reports.
Contact was made with his mother and he was released to a sober friend, according to the report.
The case will be forwarded to the Athens County Prosecutor’s Office for potential charges of underage consumption or unruly juvenile charges, according to the report.
Over by the Ohio University Inn, APD responded to a call at about 6 a.m. on Sunday about a male passed out in the hallway. Upon arrival, officers discovered the male was a juvenile who had consumed alcohol, according to the report. He was taken into custody and his parents were notified.
Another 17-year-old who was in town for Sibs Weekend was arrested for underage consumption on the Stimson Avenue bridge by APD and the Ohio State Highway Patrol around midnight Saturday, according to the report.
He was transported to OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital for treatment in reference to possible drug use as well. According to the report, he will be charged in the Athens County Juvenile Court.
Aside from handling minors under the influence of alcohol, APD also responded to an assault early Sunday morning.
At about 2:00 a.m. Sunday, APD responded to the area around North Court Street and West State Street because a male was bleeding from his face. Officers spoke with the 20-year-old male who said he was a victim of an assault.

He refused medical treatment and did not cooperate with the investigation, according to the report, and the case was closed.
On Grosvenor Street on Sunday, APD arrested a male for driving a vehicle under the influence and for possession of marijuana. The report did not state whether he was under the influence of marijuana or alcohol. When they took the male to APD, officers realized he consumed an “unknown” amount of marijuana while in the holding cell.
The male was charged with tampering with evidence and is set to appear in the Athens Municipal Court.
One male OU student was arrested for criminal damaging and underage alcohol consumption on Sunday after wandering into a house that wasn’t his. He was sent to the Southeastern Regional Jail was set to appear in court Monday.
