Man throws beer at student

An unidentified, intoxicated man threw beer at a resident of West Quad Residence Hall early Saturday morning, according to DPS reports. The beer did not hit the intended target, and instead broke a glass window covering a fire extinguisher.

The caller said the man went into his friend's room and appeared disoriented. After the incident, the man left the building, refusing to identify himself to a residence hall security officer.

The man was detained after he unsuccessfully attempted to elude officers by running between houses. Officers identified him as a 22-year-old student and filed a report. Administrative action on the subject is pending.
