The jaywalker, a 19-year-old UGA student, “was highly under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and could not keep her balance,” officer noted in her report of the incident.

Teets reported that she found the teen was in possession of a fake ID, which she confiscated and destroyed before issuing citations for underage drinking, pedestrian under the influence, and jaywalking.

“I advised (the student) to order an Uber in lieu of going to jail, and I assisted her in this process,” the officer wrote in her report.

The student had an address at a sorority house on South Milledge Avenue.

She should be required to read the crime reports in Athens each day for 60 days and send a summary report to her parents each morning.

Actually, if many parents knew how dangerous Athens has become they might just opt for a different college than UGA.
