A male student was found throwing up in his room at the Apache Santa Cruz Residence Hall, 1420 E. Fifth St., early Sunday morning and sent to UMC after drinking an 18-pack of beer at a party, reports stated.
Two residence assistants told police they were worried about the student. One RA told police, "I saw him entering the room and he said I'm really drunk then I heard a crash or some kind of moving around and what sounded like throwing up."
Police knocked on the door several times and no one answered. The two RAs then let police into the room, reports stated. When police went into the room the student's roommate sat up. When police asked why he had not answered the door the roommate said, "I am a deep sleeper. I must not have heard you."
Police went over to the student and tried to talk to him. The student would wake up for short intervals, mumble, and then pass out again, reports stated.
When the student woke up he tried to put on a T-shirt. While police were talking to the student, the student kept spitting into a trash can by his bed. Police noticed there was vomit in the trash can and on the floor.
Police called the Tucson Fire Department to transport the student to the hospital. While they were waiting for TFD, the student stood up and urinated in the trash can, reports stated.
Police noticed the student was very unsteady and smelled like alcohol. The roommate told police he had been out with the student, but had not seen him drink.
When TFD arrived they asked the student how much he had had to drink. He said, "I tried not to drink more than an 18-pack." The student then said he drank an 18-pack of beer.
The student was taken to UMC and referred to the dean of students, reports stated.
